Abstract:
The art of experimental Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) research
is to perform well conceived experiments on specially designed samples, in
order to reveal the physics relations hidden by the competing interactions
in the many-body system of materials. It is in this context that the CMP
research resembles the art work of cinematography, which intends to use
staged screenplays to highlight intricate relations formed in a complex
society. From this perspective, I will talk about the Manitoba Production
of the recent episodes of spintronics, specially focusing on the once
controversial issue of spin rectification vs spin pumping, which plagued the
field of dynamic spintronics for quite a few years.
