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 […]

On April 09, we have the pleasure to welcome Thierry Ruchon Researcher in IRAMIS at CEA Saclay. He will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC room 434A at 14:00. In recent years, increased reliability and stability of ultrafast energetic lasers based on Ti: Sapphire technology has raised the interest of a […]

On december 11, we have the pleasure to welcome in Spintec Jean-Eric Wegrowe from Ecole Polytechnique. At 11h, he will give a seminar on “Spin-Hall stationarity conditions in the light of the second law of thermodynamics” in room 434A. The determination of the stationary states for the bulk spin-Hall effect [1,2] are discussed in the […]

On December 4,  we have the pleasure to welcome Marwan Deb from Université de Lorraine, France. At 11H, he will give a seminar on “Ultrafast Magnetization Manipulation in Multisublattice Magnets” in room 434A. Femtomagnetism is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of research that focuses on the ultrafast magnetization dynamics driven by fs laser […]

On November, 22, we will have the pleasure to welcome Frédéric BONNEL from Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) in Spintec. At 11H, we will give a seminar on “Recent progress in experimental graphene and topological spintronics” The recent emergence of 2-dimensional materials and topological matter has opened new prospects for spintronics technologies [1]. […]

The recent discovery of nanometer-size whirling magnetic structures named magnetic skyrmions has opened a new path to manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale. 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. Skyrmions can also be […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place during Spring 2018. 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 […]

On September, 28, we will have the pleasure to welcome Xiaofeng Jin from Fudan University, China in Spintec. At 11H, we will give his IEEE Distinguished lecture on “The Hall Effects Edwin Hall Never Imagined” in Spintec, bat 10.05, room 434 A. The anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is one of the oldest and most prominent […]
