Barnett effect in thin magnetic films and nanostructures

The Barnett effect refers to the magnetization induced by rotation of a demagnetized ferromagnet. We describe the location and stability of stationary states in rotating nanostructures using the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. The conditions for an experimental observation of the Barnett effect in different materials and sample geometries are...

Magnetovibrational coupling in small cantilevers

A nanomagnetomechanical system consisting of a cantilever and a thin magnetic film is predicted to display magnetovibrational modes, which should enable applications for sensors and actuators. The “polaritonic” modes can be detected by line splittings in ferromagnetic resonance spectra.
