Position: Skyrmions are circular magnetic domains of (sub-)micron size with increasing interest to the scientific community, considering to use them for information encoding. The aim of this thesis is to exploit the potential of skyrmions in a new way: developing a magnetic field sensor. Indeed, the response of skyrmions to the magnetic field perpendicular to […]

Spintec laboratory is opening a four years engineer researcher position in the framework of the PEPR electronics (part of France 2030 strategy) – project EMCOM (emerging memories for computing).   Context: The cost of transferring information between different layers of storage and computing units now dominates the energy performance of conventional processors. This has created […]

The Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) arising in the magnetic systems with broken inversion symmetry plays an essential role in topological spintronics. Using atomistic spin model simulations of an intriguing type of DMI emerging in the films with composition gradient (g-DMI), it is demonstrated that that both the strength and chirality of g-DMI can be controlled by […]
