Lecture
Magnetic Resonance and Giant Magnetoresistance
Description
This lecture delves into the journey of Prof. Jean-Philippe Ansermet, from his early research baggage in 1991 to the groundbreaking discoveries in magnetic resonance and giant magnetoresistance. It covers his work on nuclear magnetic resonance, materials composites, and the development of giant magnetoresistive heads, leading to the Nobel Prize in 2007. The lecture also explores his contributions to magneto-thermo-electricity and the magnetic Seebeck effect, showcasing the intersection of magnetic fields, temperature gradients, and spin currents. Additionally, it touches upon his research on irreversible processes in quantum systems and the motivations that drive a researcher's quest for innovation.
