devices.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'> Motivation:
In order to keep up with the increasing requirements for further
miniaturization, higher speed and lower power consumption of information
processing and storage devices like computers, MP3 players and hard-disk
drives, novel scientific solutions for fast, reliable and energy-efficient
processing and storage of data must be developed. Spintronics, utilizing thin
film multilayers and nanopatterned structures, is a very promising approach. Spintronic
devices specifically exploit the spin properties of the electrons (i.e. its
magnetism) instead of, or in addition to, charge degrees of freedom. Our research
is aimed at studying novel magnetic phenomena on the nanoscale involving
artificial magnetic structures. </span></font></p>
