 "Few subjects in science are more difficult to understand than Magnetism." Encyclopedia Brittanica, 15th Edition (1989) |
The Magnetic Materials and Applied Magnetism Laboratory at the Colorado State University is located in the Department of Physics. The laboratory works on the front lines of modern day research on magnetic materials and magnetic phenomena, and especially on the linear and nonlinear magnetodynamics in magnetic thin films. The various research programs and projects are generally of fundamental interest and technological importance for high frequency, radar, and information storage applications. Current programs are funded by the department and the university, various government agencies, and private industry.The laboratory consists of two research groups.
Magnetization Dynamics Group
The research of the Magnetization Dynamics Group is focused on microwave and
millimeter wave excitations, nonlinear interactions in precession dynamics,
spin wave instability processes in ferrites and thin films; Brillouin light
scattering on magnetic excitations; hexagonal ferrite materials, metallic thin
films, multiferroics, multifuncitonal materials.
Microwave Magnetics and Nanomagnetism Group
The research of the Microwave Magnetics and Nanomagnetism Group is focused on
spin wave dynamics in magnetic films, solitons and chaos, parametric pumping;
magnetic nanoparticles, nanocomposities, and nanostructures; microwave and
millimeter wave magnetic materials and devices.
