Abstract
This PhD thesis explores the effects of an electric current on magnetic materials. We focus on the interplay between conduction electrons and magnetization, taking into account both the electron’s charge and spin. Recently, innovative magnetic materials and structures have emerged as potential candidates for the next generation of energy efficient and ultrafast magnetic memory systems in computers. Our research primarily investigates the effects of current pulses in thin films of antiferromagnets, ferromagnets, and ferrimagnets, aiming to further our understanding of magnetic switching and domain wall motion in spintronics devices.
