For the future integration of 2D materials in spintronic devices (sensors, memories…), the ability to grow van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures combining 2D magnets, high mobility, high spin-orbit coupling (SOC) or topological materials on large areas constitutes a real challenge today. Here, by using molecular beam epitaxy in the van der Waals regime, we could […]

Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have the potential to manipulate magnetization using in-plane current, and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) provide a highly efficient spin-to-charge current interconversion. This paper reports the non-volatile electric-field control of SOTs in an oxide-based Rashba-Edelstein 2DEG.   We recently reported a significant progress in the path towards a next generation of memory devices […]

SPINTEC has currently several postdoc positions open to work on spintransfer-torque nano-oscillators based on magnetic tunnel junctions. Spintorque driven excitations within magnetic tunnel junctions show a large range of interesting, non-linear dynamic effects that are promising for low power implementations within wireless communication or unconventional computing systems. The different projects address at the same time […]

Albert Fert, Mairbek Chshiev, André Thiaville and Hongxin Yang, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 92, 081001 (2023).   In this Review article, the authors briefly introduce the research history of DMI and its significance in the field of modern spintronics. Since the early 1960’s, the discovery of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) helped to explain the physical mechanisms […]

A new type of magnetic sensor based on the spin transfer torque using 50-100nm diameter perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions was recently reported in the IEEE Sensors Journal. The paper demonstrates the magnetic field sensing principle, patented by Spintec in 2020, while also describing possible read-out methods and their associated signal conditioning electronics. Improvements over conventional […]
