Objectives ELECSPIN project has just been accepted at the 2016 ANR call. This collaborative research project aims to investigate the advanced concept of radically new nanoelectronics devices based on the electric-field control of spin-based phenomena and establish proof of principle demonstrations of multi-terminal energy efficient memory nano devices.  The main  objectives are: To explore, understand and optimize the physical mechanisms of […]

Giant enhancement of magnetic effect will benefit spintronics Researchers from Spintec have demonstrated that coating a cobalt film in graphene doubles the film’s perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), so that it reaches a value 20 times higher than that of traditional metallic cobalt/platinum multilayers that are being researched for this property. In a material with a […]

L.D. Buda-Prejbeanu, H. Szambolics, F. Garcia-Sanchez, I. Firastrau, J.Ch. Toussaint The effect of the spin polarized current on the magnetization dynamics is an extremely hot topic nowadays both from fundamental and applicative point of view. The micromagnetic modeling become in this context an irreplaceable prediction tool for exploring at nm length scale the magnetization distribution […]
