Erik Wahlström is a Professor and Head of Department in the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) . His research focuses on nanoscale charge transport, magnetism in low-dimensional systems, and magnetic nanoparticle dynamics . He holds a Doctor of Technology (Teknologie doktor) in surface science from Chalmers University of Technology (2000), followed by postdoctoral research at Aarhus University and Chalmers. Active at NTNU since 2005, he leads studies on magnetodynamics, spin wave propagation, and instrumentation development. His research interests span antiferromagnetism, ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy (FMR), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and thin film characterization . Key contributions include investigations of magnonic crystals, spin torque oscillators, and the interplay between mechanical and magnetic properties in self-assembled superstructures. He develops custom ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) STM systems and broadband FMR setups. Recent publications highlight advancements in spin wave dynamics in Co2FeAl thin films, magnonic crystal properties, and mechanically reconfigurable magnetic nanocube arrays. His work bridges fundamental physics with applications in nanoelectronics and quantum materials. Erik’s instrumentation expertise includes STM design and microwave magnetometry techniques. Collaborations span international groups, reflecting his role in advancing experimental condensed matter physics. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though his prolific publication record and leadership roles underscore his impact.
