The emergence of a large helical orbital texture due to the formation of the surface states at the metallic Co/Al interfaces originating from the orbital Edelstein effect and giving rise to a nonequilibrium orbital accumulation is revealed to produce large current-induced torques, providing an essential theoretical background for the experimental observations. Spin-orbit coupling is found […]

Recruiting a post-doctoral researcher in the development of a miniature, ultra-sensitive magnetic field sensor for space exploration Context: The magnetic field is essential for understanding our solar system and the Earth’s geomagnetism, as well as for studying solar eruptions and their impact on the Earth and our technological infrastructures. All space missions designed for the […]

By performing transport simulations on carefully derived Wannier tight-binding models, Janus chromium-based transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are found to exhibit a spin-orbit torque (SOT) performance comparable to the most efficient two-dimensional materials, while additionally allowing for field-free perpendicular magnetization switching, due to their reduced in-plane symmetry.   The spin–orbit torque (SOT) mechanism represents an innovative […]

Building a ubiquitous high-speed Internet from anywhere in the world or a long-range quantum network are two technological challenges that both require the development of a phase-sensitive transducer that can interconvert information from microwave frequencies at which wireless networks or quantum computers operate to optical frequencies, the optimal telecommunications band for long-distance information exchange. However, […]

Unbiased random bitstreams are essential for encryption, secure communication, and unconventional computing, yet true randomness without bias remains challenging in hardware. By harnessing nanoscale thermal magnetization fluctuations in spintronic nano-oscillators, the AI and RF teams at SPINTEC and collaborators introduce a new approach to generating fully unbiased bitstreams. Thermal fluctuations provide an efficient and almost […]
