From the PresidentByManuel Vázquez, President of the IEEEMagnetics Society

The short interval between theApril 2018 INTERMAG Conferencein Singapore and the July 2018 ICMmeeting in San Francisco, meantthat we delayed somemeetings ofthe Magnetics Society, includingthat of the AdministrativeCommittee (AdCom), until theJanuary 2019 Joint MMM/INTERMAG Conference.

However, the AdCom has beenvery active in recentmonths. TheMessage Board has proven tobe a very efficient tool for discussing and solving variousmattersonline. Anumberofmotions,mostly relatedtofinancialissues, finalizing the remaining 2018 budget and new projectsfor 2019, were subject to votes online, using this Forum.

As mentioned, our next flagship meeting is the Joint MMM/INTERMAG Conference to be held in Washington, DC, USAduring January 14-18, 2019. It will be chaired by Suzanne teVelthuis. We anticipate that the conference will be a greatsuccess, and I hope many of us will meet there.

The call for students to apply for and to attend the forthcoming2019 Summer School at Virginia University in Richmond, VA,USA during June 2-7, 2019 is still open. We expect that theSummer School will be very successful, and students will againhave thepossibilityofproposinganddevelopingsmall projectsin teams of five. Two such teamswill receive a financial grant toundertake their projects.

The results of the important election of the President-Elect andthe new Treasurer/Secretary for the 2019-2020 term (voted byvoting AdCom members) will shortly be announced. Inaddition, the result of elections for eight positions on theAdCom (voted by all Societymembers), will be also announcedsoon.

I had the opportunity to join the team visiting the candidatesites for the 2023 INTERMAG Conference in the Asia Pacificregion. All three candidates—Sendai (Japan), Daejon (Korea)and Sydney (Australia)—are very highly qualified and woulddeserve selection. The final decisionwill be shortly determinedvia a vote of the Conference Executive Committee.

While I amwriting this column, the face-to-face Society reviewmeeting with the IEEE Society/Council Review Committee(SCRC) has just taken place. As you know, this is a review of theactivities carried out by the Society during the last five years,from all points of view including Strategy and Governance,Conferences, Education, Publications, Finances, Membershipand Technical. Examples of best practices and particularlysuccessful new initiatives were highlighted, such asgeographical and gender diversity in governing bodies or ineducation (student-led projects); conferences (new MagneticFrontiers),DistinguishedLecturersandtheTechnicalRoadmap.I have the feeling that the Society's actions have beenconsidered very positively. In a few weeks we will receivecomments from the SCRC.

Finally, my term as President of the IEEE Magnetics Societycomes to a close at the end of the year. This ismy last column inthe Newsletter as President, and I would like to send a personalmessage of acknowledgement to all Society members,especially to AdCom members and the Committee Chairs,whose contributions and support have allowed for successfulaccomplishments during the last two years. Sharing views anddiscussions within the Society has certainly been an enrichingexperience for me. I will continue serving the Society as PastPresident and remain at your disposal for anything that theSociety may need.

Magnetocaloric Effect: FromEnergy Efficient Refrigerationto Fundamental Studies of Phase TransitionsVictorino FrancoUniversity of Seville, Seville, Spain

The magnetocaloric effect, that is, the reversible temperaturechange experienced by a magnetic material upon theapplication or removal of a magnetic field, has become a topicof increasing research interest due to its potential applicationsin refrigeration at ambient temperature that is energy efficientand environmentally friendly [1].

From a technological point of view, the improvement ofmagnetic refrigeration systems can have a notable impact onsociety:a largefractionoftheelectricityconsumedinresidentialand commercial markets is used for temperature and climatecontrol. From the point of view ofmagneticmaterials, researchon this topic mainly focuses on the discovery of newmaterialswith lower cost and enhanced performance. In addition, thecharacterization of the magnetocaloric effect can be used formore fundamental studies of the characteristics of phasetransitions.

Newsletter of the IEEE Magnetics Society | Volume 58 | Issue 4 | November 2018 Page 4

Iwill cover anoverviewof thephenomenonandaclassificationof the most relevant families of alloys and compounds. I willanalyze possible limitations for the optimal performance of thematerials in magnetic refrigerators, including hystereticresponse and cyclability. Regarding phase transitions, I willpresent a newmethod to quantitatively determine the order ofthermomagnetic phase transitions using the field dependenceof the magnetic entropy change [2].

For second-order phase transition materials, I will show thatcritical exponentscanbedeterminedusing themagnetocaloriceffecteven incaseswhere theusualmethodsarenotapplicable[3]. In the case of first-order phase transitions, more detailsabout their hysteretic response can be obtained using T-FORC[4].

Broadband Ferromagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy:The “Swiss Army Knife” for Understanding Spin-OrbitPhenomenaJustin M. ShawNational Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder,Colorado, USA

Modern spin-based technologies rely on multiple,simultaneous phenomena that originate from the spin-orbitinteraction in magnetic systems. These include damping,magnetic anisotropy, orbital moments, and spin-orbit torquesthat are manifested in the spin-Hall and Rashba-Edelsteineffects. While cavity based ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)spectroscopyhasbeenused tocharacterizemagneticmaterialsfor many decades, recent advances in broadband and phase-sensitive FMR techniques have allowed further refinement,improved accuracy, and new measurement capability. In fact,broadband FMR techniques can now precisely measure spin-orbit torques at the thin-film level without the requirement ofdevice fabrication [1].

Broadband FMR measurements have also improved ourfundamental understanding of magnetic damping. Numerousextrinsic relaxationmechanismscanobscure themeasurementof the intrinsic damping of a material. This created a challengeto our understanding of damping because experimental datawerenotalwaysdirectly comparable to theory.Asa resultof theimprovedability toquantify all of these relaxationmechanisms,many theoretical models have been refined. In fact, this hasrecently led to both the prediction [2] and discovery [3] of newmaterials with ultra-low magnetic damping that will beessential for future technologies based on spintronics,magnonics, spin-logic and high-frequency devices.

I will begin this lecture with a basic introduction to spin-orbitphenomena, followed by an overview of modern broadbandFMR techniques and analysismethods. I will then discuss somerecent successes in applying broadband FMR to improve ourability to control damping in metals and half-metals, quantifyspin-orbit torquesandspin-diffusion lengths inmultilayers,anddetermine the interrelationships among damping, orbitalmoments, andmagnetic anisotropy [4], [5]. The impact of theseresult on specific technologies will also be discussed.

TuningMagnetic Anisotropy in Nanostructures forBiomedical and Electromagnetic ApplicationsHari SrikanthNational Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder,Colorado, USA

Magnetic nanoparticles have been building blocks inapplications ranging fromhighdensity recording tospintronicsand nanomedicine [1]. Magnetic anisotropies in nanoparticlesarisingfromsurfaces, shapes,and interfaces inhybridstructuresare important indetermining the functional response invariousapplications. In this talk I will first introduce the basic aspects ofanisotropy and discuss resonant radio-frequency (RF)transverse susceptibility, which we have used extensively, as apowerfulmethod toprobe theeffectiveanisotropy inmagnetic

materials. The tuning of anisotropy has a direct impact on theperformance of functional magnetic nanoparticles inbiomedical applications such as contrast enhancement inmagnetic resonance imaging and magnetic hyperthermia forcancer therapy.

I will focus on the role of tuning surface and interfacialanisotropy with a goal to enhance specific absorption rate orheating efficiency. Strategies going beyond simple sphericalstructures to include exchange coupled core-shellnanoparticles, nanowires, and nanotubes, can be exploited toincrease heating efficiency inmagnetic hyperthermia [2], [3]. Inaddition to biomedical applications, composites of anisotropicnanoparticles dispersed in polymers pave theway to a range ofelectrically and magnetically tunable materials for RF andmicrowave device applications [4]. This lecture will combineinsights into fundamental physics of magnetic nanostructuresalong with recent research advances in their application tonanomedicine and electromagnetic devices.

Spin-Orbit Technologies: FromMagnetic Memory toTerahertz GenerationHyunsoo YangNational University of Singapore, Singapore

Spintronic devices utilize an electric current to alter the state ofamagneticmaterial and thus findgreatapplication inmagneticmemory. Over the last decade, spintronic research has focusedlargely on techniques based on spin-orbit coupling, such asspin-orbit torques (SOTs), to alter the magnetic state. Thephenomenon of spin-orbit coupling in magneticheterostructures was also recently used to generate terahertzemission and thus bridge the gap between spintronics andoptoelectronics research.

Iwill introducethebasicconceptsofSOTs, suchas theirphysicalorigin, the effect of SOTs on a magnetic material, and how toquantitativelymeasure this effect [1], [2]. Next, I will discuss thelatest trends in SOT research, such as the exploration of novelmaterial systems like topological insulators and two-dimensional materials to improve operation efficiency [3].Following this, some of the technical challenges in SOT-basedmagnetic memory will be highlighted.

Moving forward, I will introduce the process of terahertzgeneration in magnetic heterostructures [4], where the spin-orbit couplingphenomenonplaysadominant role. Iwilldiscussthe details of how this terahertz emission process can beextendedtonovelmaterialsystemssuchasferrimagnets [5]andtwo-dimensional materials. The final section will focus on howthe terahertz generation process can be used tomeasure SOTsin magnetic heterostructures, thus highlighting theinterrelation between terahertz generation and the SOTs,which are linked by the underlying spin-orbit coupling.
