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 […]

On March, 21, we have the pleasure to welcome Hyunsoo Yang associate professor at National University of Singapore. He will give us a IEEE Distinguished Lecture at 14:00, CEA/IRIG, Bat. 1005, room 446 entitled : Spin-Orbit Technologies: From Magnetic Memory to Terahertz Generation Spintronic devices utilize an electric current to alter the state of a […]

Les recherches de Ioan-Mihai Miron en spintronique portent sur des nouveaux systèmes magnétiques de stockage de l’information. Menées au laboratoire Spintec, à Grenoble, elles sont encore jeunes — elles datent de 2011. Pourtant, elles représentent déjà un potentiel majeur pour faire face aux limites actuelles que rencontres les technologies de mémoire de nos ordinateurs. Elles […]

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial magnetic domains where the magnetization rotates in a fixed sense (chirality). They are usually created by magnetic fields or by non-homogeneous electric currents. Here S.G. Je et al. have shown that hexagonal skyrmion bubble lattices can be locally generated with ultrafast (30 fs) laser pulses. Their original optical approach to […]

Spintec invites application for a postdoctoral fellowship 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] and light [4] […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place during Spring 2019. 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. You may either download the full list of proposals, along with an introduction to the SPINTEC […]

Mihai Miron, junior CNRS scientist working at SPINTEC, was awarded the yearly junior prize of IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom) – French Academy of Sciences. This prize is meant as a recognition for a major contribution to innovation in one of these fields: sciences and technology of numerical revolution in industry, science and technology of energy transition, […]

Gaudin, Nano Lett. 17, 7234 (2017) Detection of Short-Waved Spin Waves in Individual Microscopic Spin-Wave Waveguides Using the Inverse Spin Hall Effect We report on the wave-vector independent detection of short-waved spin waves with wavelengths down to 150 nm […]

The recent discovery of nanometer-size whirling magnetic structures named magnetic skyrmions has opened a new path to manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale [1,2]. Magnetic skyrmions are characterized by a chiral and topologically non-trivial spin structure, i.e their magnetization texture cannot be continuously transformed into the uniform magnetic state without causing a singularity (see Fig.1). Skyrmions […]

On April 17, we have the pleasure to welcome Professor Christos Panagopoulos(lien) from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC room 434A at 11:00 Recent advances in thin film growth and in calculation capabilities in condensed matter physics enabled the synthesis of atomically flat surfaces and […]
