On Tuesday 9th of July at 14h00 Alexandre MOUILLON from SPINTEC will defend his PHD entitled : Spin-orbit torques in an ultra-thin ferromagnetic metal layer between two oxides: quantum confinement and Rashba effect Place : CEA 17 rue des Martyrs, bat 1005 room 445 (persons who do not have a CEA badge must request an […]

We learned with great sorrow that John Slonczewski passed away during the night of Thursday 30th May 2019. John was born in 1929. During most of his carrier, he has been theoretician at IBM Yorktown. He made lot of outstanding contributions to the field of magnetism and spintronics. All of us know his outstanding contributions […]

On Monday June 24 at 14:00 we have the pleasure to welcome Jacob Torrejon from SPEC, CEA Saclay, France. He will give us a seminar at CEA/IRIG, Bat 1005, room 445 entitled : Chiral magnetism controlled by spin-orbit torques and spin-torque nano-oscillators: From magnetic memories to neuromorphic computing Electrical manipulation of the magnetization (uniform or […]

Spin torque nano-oscillators (STNO) are nanoscale devices with wide band frequency tunability. Their multifunctional RF properties are well suited to define novel schemes for wireless communications that use basic protocols for data transmission such as amplitude, frequency and phase shift keying (ASK, FSK, PSK). In contrast to ASK and FSK, implementation of PSK is more […]

On Monday May 27 at 14:00 we have the pleasure to welcome Joerg Wunderlich from Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, University of Cambridge (UK), he will give us a seminar at CEA/IRIG, Bat 1005, room 445 entitled : Spin-Orbit Coupling effects in Antiferromagnets: From the spin Hall effect to electrical and optical writing and reading of reversed […]

On Tuesday June 25, we have the pleasure to welcome Lindor Diallo from Université de Normandie and INSA Rouen, he will give us a seminar at 14:00, CEA/IRIG, Bat 1005, room 446 entitled : Atomic scale correlation of structural and magnetic properties of SiC semiconductor implanted with Fe. The discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1988 […]

In view of a forthcoming opening of a CEA researcher position at SPINTEC, in order to reinforce the spintronic devices group (memories, sensors, RF oscillators, magnetic logic) of the lab, we are seeking a high-level senior scientist who is willing to contribute to existing activities as well as to open new device directions in this […]

Transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS2, WSe2, etc.) and topological insulators (Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3) are graphene siblings holding great promise for semiconductor spintronics. They possess an intense spin-orbit interaction that couples the electron momentum and spin. This coupling can be used to manipulate spins with electric fields, to convert charge currents into spin currents, and gives rise to […]

On Friday April 5, we have the pleasure to welcome Laurent Ranno from Néel Institute, he will give us a talk at 14:30, CEA/SPINTEC, Bat 1005, room 434A entitled : Skyrmions in the Zero-Magnetisation Limit Skyrmions have been experimentally observed in several ultrathin film systems. I will describe them, compare them, using the same model, […]

Spintec invites application for a phd thesis position in spintronics on magnetic skyrmions. Magnetic skyrmions are nm scale topological spin texture that hold great promise for storing and manipulating the information at the nanoscale. Spintec recently demonstrated magnetic skyrmions at room temperature in ultrathin nanostructures [1] as well as their manipulation using electric field [2,3] […]
