On 25th October 2016 our host Institut INAC welcomes students for a presentation of internship topics proposed to host Master-2 students during Spring 2017. Details will be provided later.

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 […]

We learned with great sadness that our former colleague Sébastien Bandiera passed away this week in a mountain accident. Sébastien performed a very successful PhD work in SPINTEC on memory cells involving thermally-assisted switching, spin-transfer torque and perpendicular anisotropy. He joined Crocus Technology right after his defense, in November 2011, in the R&D team for materials.

Several key staff of SPINTEC have been attending the 7th MRAM Global Innovation Forum organized by SAMSUNG, which was held in Zürich, Switzerland.

Overview GREAT (European H2020 project) was accepted at the Summer 2015. Its kick-off meeting took place at SPINTEC in Grenoble on February 22nd-23rd 2016. The project aims at developing magnetic stacks able to equally perform memory, radio-frequency as well as sensor functionalities on the same chip, to address Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The main objectives of […]

With great sadness, we announce the death of Bernard Rodmacq, our colleague and friend who passed away on Saturday, May 14th 2016. Bernard was part of the small nucleus of researchers who participated with enthusiasm in the start of Spintec laboratory in the early 2000’s. Tireless researcher, Bernard profoundly and durably marked the development of new materials in Spintec […]
