This introductory course aims at helping students, researchers and engineers having little or no background in magnetism to better understand the physics and working principles of this new class of magnetic memory called MRAMs (Magnetic Random Access Memory) based on magnetic tunnel junctions. MRAM and particularly the STT-MRAM (Spin-Transfer-Torque RAM) are attracting an increasing interest […]

INTERMAG 2021 invited speakers and symposia nominations INTERMAG is the premier conference on all aspects of applied magnetism and provides a range of oral and poster presentations, invited talks and symposia, a tutorial session, and exhibits reviewing the latest developments in magnetism. This year, it will also include a one day Forum on magnetic random […]

SPINTEC laboratory and IFW-Dresden have agreed to strengthen their ties through an international collaborative agreement. This takes the so-called form of an International Associated Lab (LIA), supported by both CNRS and the Leibniz Society. Although the formal agreement enters into force on January 1st 2019 only, our two laboratories are already engaged actively in collaborative […]

The 2018 session of the European School On Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ESONN) takes place from August 26 to September 15 in Grenoble. Applications are open until May 18, 2018. Since 2004, ESONN has been a three-week course aiming at providing training for graduate students, postdoctoral and junior scientists from universities and laboratories, all around the […]

IEDM is the main annual conference of the IEEE Electron Devices Society. It took place in San Francisco, 4-6 December 2017. Since 2016, IEEE EDS and IEEE Magnetics Society have been collaborating on the organization of joint events gathering experts in microelectronics and magnetism. With the rising interest of the microelectronics industry for the emerging […]

INTERMAG is the annual conference of the IEEE Magnetics Society. It typically gathers between 1500 and 1700 attendees. This is the main conference on applied magnetism in the world. It follows a 4 years cycle and comes back to Europe every 4 years. The latest edition was in Dublin in April 2017. SPINTEC put together […]

With the rising interest of the microelectronics industry for STT-MRAM and spintronics in general, it is very important to strengthen the links between the IEEE Magnetics Society and the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS). The purpose is to contribute reducing the cultural gap which still exists between magnetism and microelectronics communities and thereby ease the […]
