This work focuses on the study of the intrinsic cytotoxicity of magnetic particles, developed in our laboratory for the application of local forces at the cellular level. More precisely, we were interested in the effect of the rigidity of the cellular growth substrate on the response induced by the presence of particles.   The study […]

Project: SPINTEC offers several 24-month positions for postdoctoral researchers or research engineers, funded by the EU and French National Research Agency ANR.

The extent to which an external magnetic field can influence the operation of Spin-Transfer-Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) remains a critical question within the microelectronics industry in particular regarding its use in automotive industry. SPINTEC is actively engaged in an international technical group comprising academic and industrial experts in MRAM technology, with a particular […]

Two-dimensional (2D) materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are considered as key candidates to replace silicon in several technologies with enhanced performances. In this work, we address the two remaining challenges to reach their industrial deployment: the wafer scale growth of TMDs and their integration into operational devices using CMOS compatible process. This is achieved […]

Subject and context : Recent discoveries have revealed a third class of magnetic materials known as altermagnet. They have attracted considerable attention, opening up new research paths in several fields of condensed matter physics. The aim of this project is to fully exploit the specificities of altermagnets and the similarities with superconductivity. The expected result […]

In the frame of the FlagERA project MNEMOSYN, coordinated by Spintec and in collaboration with 5 European institutions, Spintec laboratory is opening a postdoctoral researcher position. The candidate will investigate spin-orbit torques in FexGeTe2 2D ferromagnets grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The 2D magnets will be associated to topological insulators or transition metal dichalcogenides in […]

We propose the concept of a core-shell composite structure coupled antiparallel via dipolar interaction, as the storage layer in perpendicular-shape-anisotropy magnetic random access memory (PSA MRAM). Benefits compared with a standard PSA MRAM include a reduced write time and the stray field. CoFeB core with a Co shell (height 8 nm; diameters 14 and 20 […]

Context Non-volatile memories (NVMs) offer several advantages for Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) operations in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. The first and key advantage is a reduced power consumption: NVMs consume less power compared to traditional volatile memories (like SRAM and DRAM) because they do not require power to maintain their state. This can lead to significant energy […]

Magnetic skyrmions are magnetic nanobubbles which are envisioned as bits of informations in our computers. A team from the Spintec laboratory in Grenoble has demonstrated that they can be moved by electric current at record speeds, up to 900 m/s, in antiferromagnetic stacks. These results hold promise for the use of skyrmions to store and […]

By using THz spintronic emission, we could study the spin-charge conversion mechanisms in 2D materials. High crystalline quality 2D materials are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on large area and CoFeB is deposited on top using soft UHV sputtering to obtain sharp interfaces. Such model system allows us to identify and quantify the spin-charge conversion […]
