Post-doctoral position – Nanostructures of 2D Materials for quantum optics and spintronics (August 20th, 2019)
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

MAGICVALLEY stands for MAGnetism InduCed VALLEY polarization in large scale 2D materials (2018-2022). Objectives In the monolayer limit, two dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (2H-MX2, with M=Mo, W and X=S, Se) are semiconductors with a sizeable (1-2 eV) and direct electronic bandgap as well as (degenerate) valleys at the K+/K- corners of the Brillouin zone.

Read moreGiant magnetoresistance in lateral metallic nanostructures for spintronic applications (January 22nd, 2018)
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 […]

Read moreElectrical detection of magnetic domain walls by inverse and direct spin Hall effect (August 28th, 2017)
Spin orbit torques allow to move efficiently DW in tracks made of ferromagnetic/spin Hall effect bilayer. Domain wall (DW) detection is then of great importance. In this letter, we demonstrate a detection method, based on the ability for a ferromagnetic nanowire, in which a DW is pinned, to inject or detect a pure spin current. […]
