The Hall effect and its varieties such as quantum, anomalous, and spin Hall effects provide indispensable tools for the characterization of electronic and magnetic properties of materials, metrology, and spintronics. The conventional four-probe Hall configuration is generally not amenable to measurements at nanoscale due to current shunting by the Hall electrodes. We demonstrate that Hall measurements on the nanoscale can be facilitated by the three-probe Hall configuration that avoids the shunting problem.

We utilize nanoscale spin valves with Pt spacer layers to characterize spin relaxation in Pt. Analysis of the spin lifetime indicates that Elliott-Yafet spin scattering is dominant at room temperature, but an unexpected intrinsic Dyakonov-Perel-like spin relaxation becomes dominant at cryogenic temperatures. We also observe suppression of spin relaxation in a Pt layer interfaced with a ferromagnet, likely caused by the competition between the effective exchange and spin-orbit fields.

We utilize a nanoscale magnetic spin-valve structure to demonstrate that current-induced magnetization fluctuations at cryogenic temperatures result predominantly from the quantum fluctuations enhanced by the spin transfer effect. The demonstrated spin transfer due to quantum magnetization fluctuations is distinguished from the previously established current-induced effects by a nonsmooth piecewise-linear dependence of the fluctuation intensity on current. It can be driven not only by the directional flows of spin-polarized electrons, but also by their thermal motion and by scattering of unpolarized electrons.

We investigate the magnetically driven motion in suspensions of paramagnetic particles. Our object is diluted deoxygenated whole blood with paramagnetic red blood cells (RBCs). We use direct observations in a closed vertical Hele-Shaw channel, and a well-defined magnetic force field applied horizontally in the channel plane.

Nonlocal spin injection has been recognized as an efficient mechanism for creation of pure spin currents not tied to the electrical charge transfer. Here we demonstrate experimentally that it can induce coherent magnetization dynamics, which can be utilized for the implementation of novel microwave nano-sources for spintronic and magnonic applications. We show that such sources exhibit a small oscillation linewidth and are tunable over a wide frequency range by the static magnetic field.
