Spin flopping in picosecond timescale Gerrits et al., Nature 418, 509 (2002) Tsudosa et al. Nature428, 831-833(2004)
Magnetic component of electromagnetic wave Ex. pulse energy =200μJ pulse duration = 150 fs beam size = 100μm Calibrated Electric field = 100MV/cm Calibrated Magnetic field = 33 T
NiO : Magnetic Property Neel temperature NaCl type crystal structure easy plane Spin direction Thickness AFM: antiferromagnetic (反強磁性体)
Spin resonance-Zeeman effect- G: Zeeman torque γ: gyromagnetic constant S: spin of an electron B: magnetic field zeeman torque spin 周囲のスピンが同じ歳差運動をするとき、 巨視的に視ると磁化が歳差運動する
