France is investing more than 38M€ in Spintronics thanks to the PEPR-SPIN exploratory program! SPIN is among the 13 new exploratory programs winners of the second wave of calls for projects Priority Programs and Equipment for Exploratory Research (PEPR). Funded by France 2030, this action (€1 billion) aims to launch research programs in emerging scientific […]

MNEMOSYN stands for « 2D MagNEtic meMOries: Scalable growth and hYbrid electrical operatioN ». It is 36-months-long FLAG-ERA Graphene Basic Research project. MNEMOSYN will develop and optimize techniques to grow large-scale 2D magnets, co-integrated with strong spin-orbit coupling materials, graphene and 2D ferroelectrics in multilayered van der Waals heterostructures. The main objective is to demonstrate […]

SPINTEC is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2022. We will celebrate this anniversary by organizing a dedicated day on May 10, 2022, retracing this scientific and human adventure. The event will bring together, at the Minatec amphitheater in Grenoble, laboratory staff, present or alumni, institutions, colleagues from other laboratories, industrial partners. For this special occasion, […]

F. Trier, P. Noël, J.-V. Kim, J.-Ph. Attané, L. Vila & M. Bibes✉, Nature Reviews Materials 7, 258 (2022).   In this Review, the recent advances in the new field of oxide spin-orbitronics including the control of spin–orbit-driven effects by ferroelectricity are surveyed, and the future perspectives for the field are discussed. Oxide materials possess […]
