[Nordita Program] First principles theory of magnetism and magnetisation dynamics

by Olle Eriksson (Theoretical Physics, KTH)

Wednesday 24 Feb 2010, 13:15 → 14:15 Europe/Stockholm

Nordita Seminar Room

In the talk I will review some recent results on first principles theory of magnetism and magnetic materials. In particular, results of giant magnetic anisotropies will be described, and I will put some emphasis on technological aspects of this property. I will also describe recent developments in theory of spin-dynamics and how this reproduces observations on thin-film magnetism, diluted magnetic semiconductors as well as spin-glasses
