In spin transfer devices a dc electric current is capable of exciting stable precession states of the magnetic moment. These auto-oscillations are powered by the current source and were found to have many remarkable properties, e.g., very narrow line widths. Precession regimes are thought to be useful for engineering nano-generators of microwave power on a chip.

Thermal chemical vapor deposition was used to grow graphene on copper substrates [1] and isotopic labeling (13C vs 12C [2]) was used to study how graphene grows on Cu [3]. Graphene holds potential as a transparent electrically conductive thin film [4a, b, c] and for electrical energy storage (e.g.,,graphene-based ultracapacitors [5]). Our top-down approaches [6,7] were the first to target obtaining individual layers of graphite obtained by micromechanical exfoliation.
