To understand spin wave technology better, we recommend that you first refresh your understanding of these topics. However, if you get lost in the links you may succeed in building a strong foundation of knowledge necessary for understanding spin wave technology but much essential information will be found only on the spin wave technology CD available here.
It may be unclear how some of these topics like the Magnetocaloric Effect relate to spin waves. This is discussed further in the research papers that are for sale at this site.
