This study investigates electromagnetic wave propagation in ferromagnetic nanowires using the spin transfer torque effect. Researchers derived a new equation to model magnetization dynamics and explored soliton collisions under electric current.
Area of Science:
- Physics
- Materials Science
- Electromagnetism
Background:
