Presentations shown in class (Dr. Tom's own "artwork"):

• Pres. 1: a colloqium I gave in Nov. 2008 We used slides #6-28 in class on Jan. 14, more slides will be used.
• Pres. 2: How to determine the exact type of spin order in an antiferromagnet? A "real-life" story.
• Pres. 3: Inelastic neutron scattering from exchange-coupled AFM spin-spin pairs. A method used for precise
  determination of exchange parameters J.
• Pres. 4: Magnetization steps spectroscopy. Another method used for accurate determination of J. The slides
  explain the uderlying physics (shown in class Feb. 1).
• Pres. 5: About magnetoresistance, Mott's model, and the Giant Magnetoresistance (shown in class on Feb. 04).
• Pres. 5: A PDF version of the above.
• Pres. 6: Spintronics (2 B shown in class on Feb. 04-06).
• Pres. 6: A PDF version of the above.
• Pres. 7: Spintronics , continued (2 B shown in class on Feb. 04 - 06).
• Pres. 7: A PDF version of the above.

Other highly instructive presentations made by others
(selected slides will be used in class):

• A concise chapter on solid state magnetism (good as an auxiliary source).
• Pres. A: A lecture on GMR/TMR by A. Fert, Nobel Prize winner (PPT file).
• Pres. B: Another similar Fert's presentation (PPT file).
• Pres. C: A long lecture by C. Chappert, GMR, TMR, memories (PDF file).
• Pres. D: A Ph.D. thesis from MIT, on GMR, TMR and magnetic memories (PDF file).
• Pres. E: Another GMR & TMR presentation, from Sweden (PDF file).
• Pres. F: Yet another GMR/TMR presentation, by P. Bruno, a well-known French "spintronics guru" (PDF file).
