Transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS2, WSe2, etc.) and topological insulators (Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3) are graphene siblings holding great promise for semiconductor spintronics. They possess an intense spin-orbit interaction that couples the electron momentum and spin. This coupling can be used to manipulate spins with electric fields, to convert charge currents into spin currents, and gives rise 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, […]

Spintec invites application for a phd thesis position in spintronics on magnetic skyrmions. Magnetic skyrmions are nm scale topological spin texture that hold great promise for storing and manipulating the information at the nanoscale. Spintec recently demonstrated magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin nanostructures [1] as well as their manipulation using electric field [2,3] […]

Topic Classical microelectronics is reaching its limits of downward scalability, reaching technological or scientific bottlenecks. Magnetic random access memories, based on magnetic tunnel junctions storing and reading bits of information, are emerging key ICT components. They are of immediate relevance for low-power and high-speed processor and mass-storage cache memory. Similar to other technologies, ways are […]

On Friday 26 April at 9h30 Cécile NAUD from SPINTEC will defend her PHD entitled: Magnetic particles for the treatment of cancer by magneto-mechanical effect, application to glioblastoma Place : Palladium 2 (floor) Maison MINATEC (free entrance) Abstract: Glioblastoma is a brain cancer with a very poor prognosis. Existing therapies improve only slightly the median […]

On March, 21, we have the pleasure to welcome Williams Savero Torres from the Catalan Institut of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Barcelone, Spain. Doctor in Physics from UGA/SPINTEC (2011-2014), he will give us a seminar at 11:00, CEA/IRIG, Bat. 1005, room 445 entitled : Spin Hall effect and anisotropic spin dynamics in graphene-based spin devices […]

Investigation of magnetization dynamics spin transfer torque driven reversal in perpendicular shape anisotropy magnetic tunnel junctions   Spin Transfer Torque Random Access Memories (STTRAM) are focusing an increasing interest in microelectronics industry due to their non-volatility, speed, density, downsize scalability below 20nm nodes, infinite endurance plus radiation hardness. Major microelectronics companies are aiming to introduce […]

NANOPOLY proposes a ground-breaking yet cost effective method to extend our control over impedance and parasitic phenomena in monolithic circuit components by independently tuning electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the integrated layers to values far beyond what nature can provide. This approach will re-define all components used in existing analogue circuit design regardless of […]
