The extent to which an external magnetic field can influence the operation of Spin-Transfer-Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) remains a critical question within the microelectronics industry in particular regarding its use in automotive industry. SPINTEC is actively engaged in an international technical group comprising academic and industrial experts in MRAM technology, with a particular […]

Two-dimensional (2D) materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are considered as key candidates to replace silicon in several technologies with enhanced performances. In this work, we address the two remaining challenges to reach their industrial deployment: the wafer scale growth of TMDs and their integration into operational devices using CMOS compatible process. This is achieved […]

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, […]

Unbiased random bitstreams are essential for encryption, secure communication, and unconventional computing, yet true randomness without bias remains challenging in hardware. By harnessing nanoscale thermal magnetization fluctuations in spintronic nano-oscillators, the AI and RF teams at SPINTEC and collaborators introduce a new approach to generating fully unbiased bitstreams. Thermal fluctuations provide an efficient and almost […]

Subject and context : Recent discoveries have revealed a third class of magnetic materials known as altermagnet. They have attracted considerable attention, opening up new research paths in several fields of condensed matter physics. The aim of this project is to fully exploit the specificities of altermagnets and the similarities with superconductivity. The expected result […]

In the frame of the FlagERA project MNEMOSYN, coordinated by Spintec and in collaboration with 5 European institutions, Spintec laboratory is opening a postdoctoral researcher position. The candidate will investigate spin-orbit torques in FexGeTe2 2D ferromagnets grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The 2D magnets will be associated to topological insulators or transition metal dichalcogenides in […]
