The Future of Computing Beyond Electronics: IIT Palakkad featured Prof. Anjan Barman at Institute Colloquium

IIT Palakkad featured Prof. Anjan Barman from S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences at the Institute Colloquium. In this talk, Prof. Anjan Barman explored how spintronics and magnonics, based on the spin of electrons and waves of magnetization, may offer new routes to energy-efficient information processing. Prof. Anjan Barman introduced how we study and control magnetization dynamics using ultrafast lasers and light-scattering techniques. The talk discussed electrical control of ultrafast magnetization dynamics in graphene-based spintronic devices, voltage-controlled spin-wave propagation, and the coupling between magnons and phonons. And he also presented how artificial spin-ice systems reveal rich magnetic states that can be identified through their spin-wave spectra.
