Nano scale magnetic waves


Predictions for Nano scale magnetic waves were made 10 years ago. Spintronics group of Department of Physics, University of Gothenburg and the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, is the first group which conducted the experiment to prove theoretical predictions.                                                     
The project for nano scale magnetic waves was started two years ago and has been successfully demonstrated propagation of spin waves from magnetic nano contacts with the aid of electrical measurements, and the results were published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. 


Research work:-

New field of research known as "magnonics," that utilizes spin waves.
The technology could reportedly be integrated into traditional microwave-based electronic circuits.
The added magnonic components would be much better suited to miniaturization than their present-day microwave counterparts.


Benefits:-

The microwave technology used in applications such as mobile phones and wireless networks will be replaced - with parts magnetic components that are smaller, less expensive, and that consume less resource.

Instead of microwaves, devices of the future may use spin waves, which are nanoscale magnetic waves.
