Low-Dimensional Magnetic Systems

Call for Papers

The study of low-dimensional magnetic systems is a new and important subject of present research both for investigating fundamental processes in magnets and for their potential technological applications. RAM access memories, spin-logic filters, and waveguides are a few examples of technological applications. This special issue is devoted to present the state of the art of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches regarding spin-torque-driven devices, domain walls dynamics, and vortex dynamics which have been developed during this last decade. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Spin-torque-driven devices and magnonics: theoretical approach
  • Spin-torque-driven devices and magnonics: experiments and technological applications
  • Domain walls and domain wall dynamics in ferromagnetic strips: numerical modelling
  • Vortex dynamics: theoretical models, micromagnetic simulations, and experiment
