Domain-wall motion in one-dimensional conduits is both a textbook case for magnetization dynamics and the understanding of spin torques, and of practical importance for the design of novel spintronic ICT devices. However, instabilities known as Walker breakdown limit the speed in most cases. We have shown experimentally and confirmed by simulation, that these instabilities are […]

On November 20th at 11:00, we have the pleasure to welcome Daniele Pinna from Johannes Gutenberg University. He will give us a seminar at CEA/SPINTEC (*) Bat 1005, room 445, entitled : Reservoir Computing with Random Magnetic Textures In this talk we will discuss how a random magnetic “fabric” composed of skyrmion clusters can be […]

On December 2th at 11:00, we have the pleasure to welcome Nicolas Jaouen from SEXTANTS beamline, Synchrotron SOLEIL. He will give us a seminar at CEA/SPINTEC (*) Bat 1005, room 445, entitled : Chirality in thin films and multilayers probed by Soft x-ray (coherent) scattering Many current forthcoming applications of magnetic materials involve heterostructures or […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place at Spintec during Spring 2020. 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 download the full list of proposals, along with an introduction to the […]

Aurélien Masseboeuf is a recognized expert in transmission electron microscopy techniques applied to magnetic microscopy. Following a PhD and post-doc period in Grenoble, he further developed his expertise and carrier during ten years as CNRS research scientist. He has been working in CEMES (Toulouse), one of the craddles of French electron microscopy. Aurélien joined Spintec […]

MILF stands for Magnetic Imaging at Low dimensions & high Frequencies. It is a 36-month-long early-carrier ANR project. Magnetic events such as domain reversal, domain wall propagation and vortex oscillations are fast processes, broad source of spintronic applications. However, it remains extremely challenging to scrutinize the inner structure of such magnetic objects during their motion, […]

Olivier Fruchart, Deputy Director of Spintec, has been elected Vice-President of the European Magnetism Association for a three-year mandate, alongside Burkard Hillebrands from Kaiserslautern, elected President. The purpose of the European Magnetism Association (EMA) is to promote the development of magnetism and magnetic materials in Europe, through rising the visibility and the impact of research […]

Domain wall propagation in modulated-diameter cylindrical nanowires is a key phenomenon to be studied with a view to designing three-dimensional magnetic memory devices. In this framework, we quantified theoretically the driving force needed for a domain wall to overcome the potential barrier related to modulated diameter geometry in order to jump from one stable position […]

On Friday July 12 at 11:00 we have the pleasure to welcome Prof. Yoshishige SUZUKI from Osaka University. He will give us a seminar at CEA/IRIG, Bat 1005, room 445 entitled : Brownian computing using skyrmions We are trying to make essential devices to do Brownian computing using skyrmions. Brownian computing is a method to […]

On Friday April 5, we have the pleasure to welcome Laurent Ranno from Néel Institute, he will give us a talk at 14:30, CEA/SPINTEC, Bat 1005, room 434A entitled : Skyrmions in the Zero-Magnetisation Limit Skyrmions have been experimentally observed in several ultrathin film systems. I will describe them, compare them, using the same model, […]
