Major National contractual projects involving SPINTEC
Superfast – An ANR project (January 01st, 2023)
Suferfast is an ANR project, with title Exploiting specificities of d-wave superconductivity for ultrafast dynamic coupling with magnetism (ANR-22-CE30-0020-01). SUPERFAST aims at demonstrating novel spin transport and ultrafast dynamics coupling effects in heterostructures combining magnetic materials and unconventional superconductors (S). The pursued ideas have much interest within condensed-matter physics and in the nascent field of […]

MAROT stands for Low noise MAgnetometeR based On Tunnel junctions. It is a 42-months long ANR project (ANR-22-CE42-0020). The current boom in nanosatellites, which are revolutionizing space exploration, calls for the development of suitable miniature instruments. In particular, the extremely high-performance magnetometers used to date on-board satellite, such as search-coils or flux-gates, are heavy and […]

France is investing more than 38M€ in Spintronics thanks to the PEPR-SPIN exploratory program! SPIN is among the 13 new exploratory programs winners of the second wave of calls for projects Priority Programs and Equipment for Exploratory Research (PEPR). Funded by France 2030, this action (€1 billion) aims to launch research programs in emerging scientific […]
Read moreSTOCHNET – An ANR project (December 09th, 2021)
STOCHNET stands for Hybrid Stochastic Tunnel Junction Circuits for Optimization and Inference. The motivation behind StochNet is to explore — through experimental demonstrations with hybrid CMOS stochastic tunnel junction circuits and simulations of theoretical architectures — the technological feasibility of recently explored brain inspired computing frameworks that point towards neural stochasticity as being fundamental to […]
Read moreNeuSPIN – An ANR project (June 24th, 2021)
NeuSPIN stands for Design of a reliable edge neuromorphic system based on spintronics for Green AI. Current computing architectures with separate processing and memory blocks are not ideal for energy-efficient learning and inference processing for AI on the edge concept. For AI edge applications, it is envisioned that classical von Neumann computing will be replaced […]

The goal of project CRYMCO is to optimize MRAM cell concepts for operation in cryogenic temperature environments. The project will explore applications for storage in conventional and quantum information processing. In the first case, MRAM with low energy dissipation for cryogenic environments could result in power savings by operating at low temperature, when the cost/power […]
Read moreMARIN – An ANR project (February 25th, 2021)
MARIN stands for Magnon Reservoir computINg. It is a 42 months researcher project funded by the French ANR. MARIN aims at showing that spin waves can be used in the field of “wave-computing” where oscillatory signals are proposed to perform analog non-Boolean operations such as reservoir computing (see Figure). The MARIN project will investigate experimentally […]
Read moreUFO – An ANR project (February 02nd, 2021)
UFO stands for UltraFast Opto-magneto-spintronics for Futur Nanotechnologies. UltraFast Opto-magneto-spintronics is an emerging field of research that combines the ideas and concepts of magneto-optics and opto-magnetism with spin transport phenomena, supplemented with the possibilities offered by photonics for ultrafast low-dissipative manipulation and transport of information. Both light and spin currents can control magnetic order, though […]
