From Correlations to Functionality using Depth Resolved Spin Resonance Techniques

Synopsis

The fields of spintronics aims to combine the data storage capabilities of magnetic media with the data handling capabilities of the semiconductor industry. As such, the controlled manipulation of a nonequilbrium spin population is required. I will discuss recent investigations using the depth resolved spin resonance techniques Low Energy μSR and β-detected Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (β-NMR) of the internal magnetic fields and spin dynamics in simple nonmagnetic metals and semiconductors adjacent to archetypal magnets, artificial heterostructures of great interest in curiosity driven research but also of relevance for spin transport applications.
