[REPORT SUMMARY] Periodic Report Summary 2 - EXCHANGE (Magnetism at the time and length scale of the Exchange interaction)
Excitation by femtosecond lasers has revealed extraordinary spin dynamics in magnetic materials, that cannot be explained by equilibrium descriptions of magnetism. This has led to a number of fundamental questions that challenge existing theories of magnetism, based on...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - SUPERSPIN (Triplet supercurrents and superconducting spintronics)
Within this project we have laid the foundations for an eventual technology of superconducting spin electronics (superspintronics). The starting point of the project was our observation that using an appropriate spin-mixing interface between a superconductor and a ferromagnet...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Final Report Summary - IMCOLMAT (Impurities in Colloidal Materials - tuning the properties of crystals, powders and glasses)
Pure materials are an extreme rarity in nature as almost every material contains some sort of impurity, whether present as an unavoidable nuisance or intentionally added to modify a product or process. The ability to use the effect of impurities for the design of new materials...
