Our research group belongs to the Department of Applied Physics of the Faculty of Science at the University of Salamanca. We investigate spin dynamics in ferromagnetic nanostructures by means of computer simulations. The simulations are based on the theory of micromagnetism, an appropriate framework to describe magnetization on the nanoscale. We are interested in a variety of systems, such as spin valve nanopillars, magnetic tunnel junctions, metallic nanocontacts, ferromagnetic nanostrips, etc.
