Magnetism and Magnetic Materials University of Tsukuba

Course Overview
Lecture on the fundametals of magnetism, magnetic materials and spintronics. Firstly, magnetism is discussed from a microscopic point of view, followed by topics of magnetic anisotropy and technical magnetization etc. Based on the above knowledge, nanomagnetism and spintronics are discussed including tunnel magnetoresistance. Finally, some typical examples of applications are shown as well as the prospect in this field.
