Skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnets are appealing for use in future memory and computing devices, combining small size and fast motion, but creating, stabilizing, and observing them remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate the stabilization and current and light induced nucleation of skyrmions in a synthetic antiferromagnet, observing the magnetization texture in each layer using X-ray […]

A new form of spintronic is emerging, exploiting electrical insulators. Recent spectroscopic studies performed at SPINTEC have revealed the coherent coupling that may establish between two distant macrospins separated by a non-magnetic dielectric spacer via circularly-polarized acoustic phonons that carry angular momentum information. This long-range effect represents an important progress in magnonics and spin wave […]

SPINTEC welcome for a postdoc Lucile Soumah. On Friday, November 18th at 11:00 she will give us a seminar on her previous research (UMR CNRS Thales : PHD and Stockholm Univ. : postdoc) entitled: Nanometer thick Bismuth doped Yttrium Iron Garnet films and their applications Place : CEA Bat. 10.05 Room 445 (limited to persons […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place at Spintec during Spring 2023. In most cases, these internships are intended to be suitable for a longer-term PhD work. Interested Master-1 students are also encouraged to apply, as well as students not phased for a Spring internship, especially those coming from […]

Title: Design for memory/logic devices Keywords: Design, post-CMOS electronics, spintronics, architectures, ferroelectrics, magneto-electric spin-orbit Summary:Spintronics devices involve ferromagnetic elements with high switching energies. Contrastingly, the polarization of ferroelectrics can be easily switched by an electric field, at energies typically 1000 times lower. As recently demonstrated by Intel, this makes ferroelectrics good candidates for ultralow-power post-CMOS […]

Contrastingly, the polarization of ferroelectrics can be easily switched by an electric field, at energies typically 1000 times lower. This makes ferroelectrics good candidates for ultralow-power neuromorphic AI architectures. We recently demonstrated in a Nature article […]
