Book – The basics of electron transport in spintronics: textbook with lectures, exercises and solutions V. Baltz, EDP Sciences Here is the ideal book to grasp the basic concepts of spin-dependent electron transport and to develop a deep physical understanding of the subject. A careful selection of key notions provides a concise and effective framework. […]

Position: Skyrmions are circular magnetic domains of (sub-)micron size with increasing interest to the scientific community, considering to use them for information encoding. The aim of this thesis is to exploit the potential of skyrmions in a new way: developing a magnetic field sensor. Indeed, the response of skyrmions to the magnetic field perpendicular to […]

Spintec laboratory is opening a four years engineer researcher position in the framework of the PEPR electronics (part of France 2030 strategy) – project EMCOM (emerging memories for computing).   Context: The cost of transferring information between different layers of storage and computing units now dominates the energy performance of conventional processors. This has created […]

Position: The objective of the PhD project is to explore disruptive fabrication routes, cell and material designs to lift the two bottlenecks, related to fabrication and efficiency of the write operation with a spin-polarized current. While the motivation and objective is to give a real application potential to the proof of concept achieved so far, […]

Context: SPINTEC opens a R&D Engineer position for developing magnetic multilayer stacks on a new fully automated ultra-high vacuum sputtering tool for 100 mm wafers, developed in-house. The work will be carried out within the “Materials” team and in a close collaboration with researchers, PhDs and postdoctoral fellows. Position: The mission will consist in: discussing […]

  We combined chemical synthesis, magnetic microscopy and micromagnetic simulations to provide a comprehensive view of the micromagnetics of chemical modulations in cylindrical nanowires. This sets the ground for their use to investigate the specific aspects of domain-wall dynamics and spin waves in a curvilinear system. Curvilinear and three-dimensional magnetism are a fast-developing field, considering […]

  In the context of intensive research on treatments against diabetes – major health threat to millions of people, we report here on an innovative approach based on mechanobiology. Basically, chronic hyperglycemia is regulated by a supply of insulin, if insufficiently secreted. We show here that the mechanical stimulation of pancreatic beta cells, via the […]

Context: In the frame a European project, SPINTEC has an opening for a postdoctoral position to develop rf detectors for IoT applications. The project goal is to improve the rf-to-dc conversion efficiency of specific magnetic tunnel junctions and to develop demonstrator applications. Position: The tasks are varied and will allow to acquire diverse expertise in […]

  SPINTEC is opening a tenured assistant professor/lecturer position in the field of frugal digital electronics, design of embedded systems, design of digital architectures in disruptive technologies (MCF section 61-63). The recruited person will carry out his research at SPINTEC Laboratory affiliated with UGA, CEA, CNRS, Grenoble INP-UGA in a very promising field, linked to […]

  Spin-torque-nanodiodes based on magnetic tunnel junctions are promising candidates for RF energy harvesters and ultra-low power wake-up receivers with performances that are expected to surpass those of semiconductor diodes. Experiments on magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy show how the performances can be optimized upon reducing the magnetic layer thickness and the device […]
