Spin Mechanics

The interplay between an elastic deformation of a solid and the magnetization direction, called magnetoelastic coupling, allows to sense and control the magnetization direction via the lattice stress and vice versa. Tailoring this interaction enables the realization of hybrid devices. We explore ...
