Stimulated emission and absorption of photons in magnetic point contacts
Point contacts between high anisotropy ferromagnetic SmCo _5 and normal metal Cu are used to achieve a strong spin-population inversion in the contact core. Subjected to microwave irradiation in resonance with the Zeeman splitting in Cu, the inverted spin population relaxes through stimulated spin-f...
