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 February, 13, we have the pleasure to welcome Aurore FINCO, from university of Hamburg in Spintec. At 13H30, she will give a seminar in room 434 A. Various ways to tune non-collinear magnetism in ultrathin films In order to develop spintronic devices, a precise control of the magnetic state in ultrathin films is necessary. […]

On March, 27, we have the pleasure to welcome Daniil KARNAUSHENKO, from Institute for Integrative Nanosciences, Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden), Germany in Spintec. At 11H00, he will give a seminar in room 434 A. Shapeable microelectronics Shape is a noticeable quantity in nature, which does not persist. Role of […]

IEDM is the main annual conference of the IEEE Electron Devices Society. It took place in San Francisco, 4-6 December 2017. Since 2016, IEEE EDS and IEEE Magnetics Society have been collaborating on the organization of joint events gathering experts in microelectronics and magnetism. With the rising interest of the microelectronics industry for the emerging […]

This study discuss the shift observed in spintronics from the current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry towards lateral geometries, illustrating the new opportunities offered by this configuration. The possibility to combine ultrathin magnetic and non-magnetic layers allowed creating hetero-structures whose dimensions are smaller than the characteristic lengths of the spin-dependent transport. This has notably led to the discovery of […]

On February, 09, we have the pleasure to welcome Nicolas BRUYANT, from Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (Toulouse) in Spintec. At 14H00, he will give a seminar in room 434 A. After a presentation of the interest and challenges of physics in high magnetic field (i.e. > 50T), I will present the technical side […]
