DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dirk Grundler\, Technische Universität München\nBio: D
 irk Grundler was with the Philips’ Research Laboratories in Hamburg\, Ge
 rmany\, from 1990 until the end of 1994 for Diploma and doctorate work on 
 conventional and high-temperature superconductors aiming at sensors for ap
 plications in biomagnetism. He qualified as a lecturer in experimental phy
 sics at the University of Hamburg in 2001\, specializing in spintronics. I
 n 2005 he accepted a professorship at Technical University of Munich\, Ger
 many\, heading the Chair of Physics of Functional Multilayers. His interes
 ts are focussed on correlation effects in low dimensional electron systems
  and magnonics – a currently evolving research field combining nanomagne
 tism and spin dynamics.\nThin-film ferromagnets periodically patterned on 
 the micro- and nanoscale have been shown to form magnonic crystals (MCs)\,
  i.e.\, artificial crystals exhibiting tailored band structures for spin w
 aves (magnons).  Their  functionality  goes  beyond  e.g.  photonic
   and  plasmonic  crystals  for electromagnetic  waves in that the ma
 gnetic unit cell allows one to reconfigure the band structure via differen
 t non-volatile remanent configurations. MCs thus provide interesting build
 ing blocks for microwave  applications  aiming at both information  tra
 nsmission  and processing  using spin waves at the  nanoscale.  To  r
 each  this  goal\,  the  coupling  efficiency  between  long-wavele
 ngth   GHz radiation and short-wavelength  spin waves needs to be impro
 ved. Magnonic crystal-based tranducers might provide a versatile solution 
 to this long-existing problem.
