Les recherches de Ioan-Mihai Miron en spintronique portent sur des nouveaux systèmes magnétiques de stockage de l’information. Menées au laboratoire Spintec, à Grenoble, elles sont encore jeunes — elles datent de 2011. Pourtant, elles représentent déjà un potentiel majeur pour faire face aux limites actuelles que rencontres les technologies de mémoire de nos ordinateurs. Elles […]

On Wednesday 9 January 2019 at 13:30 in , Amphithéâtre du CNRS (Bat Administratif – Tour A), Laurent Vila CEA/SPINTEC-Univ. Grenoble Alpes defends his habilitation (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, HDR), with title: [English] Spin currents and spin-orbit coupling The influence of spin-orbit coupling on transport properties has recently revived a strong interest. This coupling […]

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial magnetic domains where the magnetization rotates in a fixed sense (chirality). They are usually created by magnetic fields or by non-homogeneous electric currents. Here S.G. Je et al. have shown that hexagonal skyrmion bubble lattices can be locally generated with ultrafast (30 fs) laser pulses. Their original optical approach to […]

Spintec invites application for a postdoctoral fellowship in spintronics on magnetic skyrmions.  Magnetic skyrmions are nm scale topological spin texture that hold great promise for storing and manipulating the information at the nanoscale. Spintec recently demonstrated magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin nanostructures  [1] as well as their manipulation using electric field [2,3] and light [4] […]

Tocha for Dissipationless topological channels for information transfer and quantum metrology, is a Research and Innovation Action FETPROACTIVE project funded by the European Commission. The goal of TOCHA, a five years project head by Sergio O. Valenzuela from ICN2, Barcelona, and for which Spintec is partner, is to develop the next generation of topological devices […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place during Spring 2019. In most cases, these internships are intended to be suitable for a longer-term PhD work. Interested Master-1 students are also encouraged to apply. You may either download the full list of proposals, along with an introduction to the SPINTEC […]

We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. We show that a HgCdTe barrier can be used to protect the HgTe from direct contact with the ferromagnet, leading to very high conversion rates. Conventional spintronics is based upon the use of magnetic materials to […]

Paul Noel was among the 7 laureates of a best poster prize at the Journée de la Matière Condensée, the french conference on condensed matter, held for its 16th edition, at the end of August 2018 in Grenoble. Congratulation to him! The title of his poster was: Highly efficient spin-to-charge current conversion at room temperature in […]

Mihai Miron, junior CNRS scientist working at SPINTEC, was awarded the yearly junior prize of IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom) – French Academy of Sciences. This prize is meant as a recognition for a major contribution to innovation in one of these fields: sciences and technology of numerical revolution in industry, science and technology of energy transition, […]
