Book description
This much-needed book addresses the concepts, models, experiments and
applications of magnons and spin wave in magnetic devices. It fills the
gap in the current literature by providing the theoretical and
technological framework needed to develop innovative magnetic devices,
such as recording devices and sensors.
Starting with a historical review of developments in the magnon concept,
and including original experimental results, the author presents methods
of magnon excitation, and several basic models to describe magnon gas.
He includes experiments on Bose-Einstein condensation of non-equilibrium
magnons, as well as various applications of a magnon approach.
In short, the focus is on
1) new principles of energy transformation from noise to a coherent
oscillations (chapters 5,6, appendix G)
2) new method of computing - chapter 8.
Suitable for those who do not work directly with magnetic systems,
this book can provide several ideas and analogies that can be useful
in their work and research.
Dr. Vladimir L Safonov, a world level expert on magnetic dynamics, is
Chief Scientist at Mag & Bio Dynamics. He graduated from famous
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and obtained his Ph. D. and
D. Sc. degrees from the Russian Research Center "Kurchatov
Institute". He has collaborated with research groups in Russia,
Ukraine, Germany, Japan and U. S.A. Dr. Safonov has authored over 110
scientific publications and patents and has received many awards,
including the Kurchatov Prize. He is a Senior member of IEEE and a
member of the American Physical Society.
