Ezio Iacocca, Ph.D.
Areas of interest
Theoretical and numerical magnetism. I study three broad areas:
-
Ultrafast magnetism and picosecond dynamics of magnetic materials subject to an intense, femtosecond optical excitation (Recent publication).
-
Magnonics, focusing on the spin wave dispersion in two dimensional frustrated arrays, or artificial spin ices. (Review).
-
Spin hydrodynamics for long-distance spin transport and the study of nonlinear magnetization dynamics (Review).
