It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Professor Anatoly Vedyaev from Lomonosov Moscow State University. Our laboratory, SPINTEC — and previously the Nanostructure and Magnetism Laboratory — collaborated with Anatoly, his wife Natalia Ryzhanova, and later his nephew Nikita Strelkov for over 25 years (since 1992!). Anatoly was an exceptional […]

[POSITION FILLED] Recruiting a post-doctoral researcher on the control of magnetic skyrmions by surface acoustic waves Context: The present offer is part of a French ANR project ACOUSKYR, within the PEPR-Spin. The aim of the ACOUSKYR project is to use surface acoustic waves (SAW) to nucleate, annihilate, move and detect skyrmions and skyrmion lattices. Mastering […]

The emergence of a large helical orbital texture due to the formation of the surface states at the metallic Co/Al interfaces originating from the orbital Edelstein effect and giving rise to a nonequilibrium orbital accumulation is revealed to produce large current-induced torques, providing an essential theoretical background for the experimental observations. Spin-orbit coupling is found […]

[POSITION FILLED] Recruiting a post-doctoral researcher in the development of a miniature, ultra-sensitive magnetic field sensor for space exploration Context: The magnetic field is essential for understanding our solar system and the Earth’s geomagnetism, as well as for studying solar eruptions and their impact on the Earth and our technological infrastructures. All space missions designed […]

By performing transport simulations on carefully derived Wannier tight-binding models, Janus chromium-based transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are found to exhibit a spin-orbit torque (SOT) performance comparable to the most efficient two-dimensional materials, while additionally allowing for field-free perpendicular magnetization switching, due to their reduced in-plane symmetry.   The spin–orbit torque (SOT) mechanism represents an innovative […]

Building a ubiquitous high-speed Internet from anywhere in the world or a long-range quantum network are two technological challenges that both require the development of a phase-sensitive transducer that can interconvert information from microwave frequencies at which wireless networks or quantum computers operate to optical frequencies, the optimal telecommunications band for long-distance information exchange. However, […]
