You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place at Spintec during Spring 2021. In most cases, these internships are intended to be suitable for a longer-term PhD work. Interested Master-1 students are also encouraged to apply, as well as students not phased for a Spring internship. You may download the […]

Vendredi 02 Octobre 2020 à 14H00, Céline Vergnaud soutiendra sa thèse, intitulée : Optimisation de la croissance de MoSe2 – WSe2 par épitaxie de van der Waals pour la valleytronique Lieu : bâtiment GreEn-ER de l’Ecole Grenoble INP, 20 avenue des Martyrs, 38000 Grenoble. amphithéatre 2A003 En présentiel : suivant liste d’accueil prédéfinie selon les […]

Topological insulators (TI) represent a new class of insulating materials hosting metallic surface states. Moreover, those surface states exhibit a Dirac cone energy dispersion where the strong spin-orbit coupling leads to a helical spin texture at the Fermi level. This property can be exploited to detect spin currents in conventional semiconductors like silicon or germanium. […]

Relating magnetotransport properties to specific spin textures at surfaces or interfaces is an intense field of research nowadays. Here, we investigate the variation of the electrical resistance of Ge(111) under the application of an external magnetic field. We find a magnetoresistance term that is linear in current density j and magnetic field B, reaching 0.5 […]

The Hall effect can be extended by inducing a temperature gradient in lieu of electric field that is known as the Nernst effect. After the discovery of the spin Nernst effect, the collection would not be complete without mentioning the valley degree of freedom benchmarked by the observation of the valley Hall effect in transition […]

Post-doctoral position available at IRIG/Spintec (12 months with possible extension) Nanostructures of 2D Materials for quantum optics and spintronics (NanoDRUM project) Recently, there has been tremendous interest in layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). It started with the discovery that the canonical TMDC MoS2 becomes a direct bandgap semiconductor when isolated in monolayer (ML) form [Splendiani […]

On Tuesday June 25, we have the pleasure to welcome Lindor Diallo from Université de Normandie and INSA Rouen, he will give us a seminar at 14:00, CEA/IRIG, Bat 1005, room 446 entitled : Atomic scale correlation of structural and magnetic properties of SiC semiconductor implanted with Fe. The discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1988 […]
