Michal Stano, Olivier Fruchart, Magnetic nanowires and nanotubes, pp.155-267, in Handbook of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 27, E. Brück Ed (2018). DOI: 10.1016/bs.hmm.2018.08.002 We propose a review of the current knowledge about the synthesis, magnetic properties and applications of magnetic cylindrical nanowires and nanotubes. By nano we consider diameters reasonably smaller than a micrometer. At […]

The recent discovery of nanometer-size whirling magnetic structures named magnetic skyrmions has opened a new path to manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale [1,2]. Magnetic skyrmions are characterized by a chiral and topologically non-trivial spin structure, i.e their magnetization texture cannot be continuously transformed into the uniform magnetic state without causing a singularity (see Fig.1). Skyrmions […]

View online: DOI: 10.1557/mrs.2018.96 Material development has played a crucial role in modern civilization and information technology (IT). The importance of high-density […]

The French Magnetics Chapter of the IEEE Society was prized the “Chapter of year 2018” by the French section of the IEEE Society. Spintec is largely involved in this Chapter with Bernard Diény as President, Vincent Baltz as Secretary, Mairbek Chshiev as Treasurer. The prize comes as a recognition of its fulfillment of objectives, and […]

L’alliance de la microélectronique et du magnétisme, ou spintronique, s’avère prometteuse. Les géants du secteur s’intéressent notamment aux mémoires magnétiques. Industrie et Technologies 1007, 1st March 2018 [French]

On April 17, we have the pleasure to welcome Professor Christos Panagopoulos(lien) from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC room 434A at 11:00 Recent advances in thin film growth and in calculation capabilities in condensed matter physics enabled the synthesis of atomically flat surfaces and […]

On April 09, we have the pleasure to welcome Thierry Ruchon Researcher in IRAMIS at CEA Saclay. He will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC room 434A at 14:00. In recent years, increased reliability and stability of ultrafast energetic lasers based on Ti: Sapphire technology has raised the interest of a […]

On Thursday, the 29th Of March 2018 at 14h00, Jyotirmoy CHATTERJEE from LTM & DRF/INAC/SPINTEC, will defend his PhD thesis entitled “Engineering of magnetic tunnel junction stacks for improved STT-MRAM performance and development of novel and cost-effective nano-patterning techniques” Place : Grenoble INP-PHELMA, Amphitheater M001 – MINATEC Area, Parvis Louis Néel, 38000 Grenoble Technology-demand for […]

A team at SPINTEC in Grenoble has demonstrated thermally stable and electrically switchable Spin Transfer Torque MRAM (STT-MRAM) of diameter down to 4nm. Among the various technologies of non-volatile memories, STT-MRAM gathers a unique combination of assets: non-volatility, write speed (3-30ns), density (4Gbit demonstrated by Hynix/Toshiba), low consumption (a few tens of fJ/write), and very […]

On March 30, we have the pleasure to welcome Ferial TERKI and Quang-Hung TRAN from Institut Charles Gerhardt Univ. Montpellier. They will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC room 434A at 11:00. “Recent achievements for ultrasensitive gas sensing and bio-physical detection” Promising generation of room temperature micro/nano-sensor «sensor 3.0» based on […]
