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 magnetic material and thus find great application in magnetic memory. Over the last decade, spintronic research has focused largely on techniques based on spin-orbit coupling, such as spin-orbit torques (SOTs), to alter the magnetic state. The phenomenon of spin-orbit coupling in magnetic heterostructures was also recently used to generate terahertz emission and thus bridge the gap between spintronics and optoelectronics research.
