Tunable Magnetic Relaxation In Magnetic Nanoparticles
Xavier Waintal, Piet W. Brouwer
We investigate the magnetization dynamics of a conducting magnetic nanoparticle weakly coupled to source and drain electrodes, under the assumption that all relaxation comes from e…
Spin, spin-orbit, and electron-electron interactions in mesoscopic systems
Yuval Oreg, P. W. Brouwer, X. Waintal +1
We review recent theoretical developments about the role of spins, electron-electron interactions, and spin-orbit coupling in metal nanoparticles and semiconductor quantum dots. Fo…
From the Fermi Liquid Towards the Wigner Solid in Two Dimensions
Jean-Louis Pichard, Giuliano Benenti, Georgios Katomeris +2
The quantum-classical crossover from the Fermi liquid towards the Wigner solid is numerically revisited, considering small square lattice models where electrons interact via a Coul…
Spin torque in a magnetic trilayer coupled to a superconductor
Xavier Waintal, Piet W. Brouwer
A ferromagnet-normal-metal-ferromagnet trilayer does not conserve spin current and as a result, the conduction electrons can create a torque on the magnetic moments. When the trila…
Current induced switching of magnetic domains to a perpendicular configuration
Xavier Waintal, Piet W. Brouwer
In a ferromagnet--normal-metal--ferromagnet trilayer, a current flowing perpendicularly to the layers creates a torque on the magnetic moments of the ferromagnets. When one of the…
A new quantum phase in two dimensions
Giuliano Benenti, Xavier Waintal, Jean-Louis Pichard
For intermediate Coulomb energy to Fermi energy ratios , spinless fermions in a random potential form a new quantum phase which is different from the Fermi glass and the Wigne…
