We study recurrent networks of binary stochastic Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (sMTJ), aiming at efficiently solving computationally hard optimization problems. After validating a prototyping route, we investigate the impact of hybrid CMOS+MTJ building block variants on the quality of stochastic sampling, a key feature for optimum search in a complex landscape. We carry out a functional […]

Cryoelectronics has the potential to become important in high-performance computing applications and in the context of quantum computing. For low-temperature operation, it becomes imperative to reduce power dissipation, and improved device efficiency could even offset the power consumption required for cooling. In magnetic memories, voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) is a promising approach to minimize the […]

Spin electronics applies to a wide range of materials: metals, where spin is transported by electrons, but also magnetic insulators, where spin is transported by magnons. The latter are of interest because in certain insulators, such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG), it is predicted that one could reach a state of superfluidity, i.e. spin transport […]

The setting of spin textures in antiferromagnets (AFMs) provides a potential route to antiferromagnetic spintronic devices with non-collinear spin states such as skyrmions, bubbles and domain walls. In this work, a consortium of physicists from SPINTEC and York establish a solution for overcoming the challenge of nucleating localized real-space spin textures in AFMs, promoting the […]

Research. The hired person will join the spintronics IC design team, bringing complementary expertise in circuit design and architecture. The aim is to create a holistic chain of design and validation skills, covering all levels of abstraction and enabling the implementation of robust design/validation approaches, from circuit level to architecture and system level (models, physical […]
