We are pleased to announce the visit of Prof. Slavin, who has taken time from his participation at the International Symposium on Hysteresis Modeling and Micromagnetics to present his research in our faculty.

Andrei N. Slavin is Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Physics Department, Oakland University, Michigan, USA.  He received his Ph.D from the St. Petersburg Technical University, Russia. Andrei is Fellow of the American Physical Society and Fellow of the IEEE. He is a specialist in magnetization dynamics and spin waves, and has published over 300 research papers in this field.

His talk will revolve around his recent research on  spin-torque nano-oscillators (STNOs), which could enable ultrafast analysis in both microwave and THz frequency ranges. STNOs offer  ultrafast frequency tunability, with a large relaxation frequency of amplitude fluctuations, enabling wide-band time-resolved spectral analysis at the nanosecond timescale. The frequency resolution is limited only by the sweeping frequency, as determined by the "bandwidth" theorem.
