A Study on Spin Mechanics Phenomena in Spin-Lattice Coupled Systems

This book presents an experimental investigation of spin-mechanical phenomena in spin-lattice coupled systems. The author demonstrates that the resonant mechanical vibration of a micro magnetic mechanical oscillator changes in response to the magnetization process in the oscillator. The author also investigates a spin-current-induced volume modulation effect in a giant magnetostrictive material. The results presented here accelerate the exploration of cross-correlation effects between spintronics and micromechanics and provide insight into magnetomechanical properties associated with a spin current.
