MNEMOSYN stands for « 2D MagNEtic meMOries: Scalable growth and hYbrid electrical operatioN ». It is 36-months-long FLAG-ERA Graphene Basic Research project. MNEMOSYN will develop and optimize techniques to grow large-scale 2D magnets, co-integrated with strong spin-orbit coupling materials, graphene and 2D ferroelectrics in multilayered van der Waals heterostructures. The main objective is to demonstrate […]

SPINTEC is opening a 2-year post-doctoral position on modelling of all optical switching using light carrying orbital momentum Context: The manipulation of magnetization by ps or fs light pulses has become a very exciting topic nowadays opening routes towards ultrafast magnetization control. To date, most of the light-spin interaction studies made use of spin angular […]

F. Trier, P. Noël, J.-V. Kim, J.-Ph. Attané, L. Vila & M. Bibes✉, Nature Reviews Materials 7, 258 (2022).   In this Review, the recent advances in the new field of oxide spin-orbitronics including the control of spin–orbit-driven effects by ferroelectricity are surveyed, and the future perspectives for the field are discussed. Oxide materials possess […]

Van der Waals (vdW) layered magnets are promising materials to develop ultracompact and multifunctional spintronics devices. However, most of them are magnetic only at low temperature and are almost exclusively studied in the form of small flakes obtained by mechanical exfoliation. Here, we demonstrate the direct growth by molecular beam epitaxy of Fe5GeTe2, a room […]

Description of Group/Project: A joint program between the Université Grenoble-Alpes and the University of Tokyo seeks to appoint a creative and motivated experimental Ph.D. student to participate in an ongoing project on spin manipulation by chiral phonons. The position will be funded by the LANEF chair of excellence, Prof. YoshiChika Otani, which brings together leading […]

Magnetic Random Access Memory recently started to be commercialized by all main microelectronics factories. In MRAM, the information is coded via parallel or antiparallel magnetic configurations to represent ones and zeroes. The technology is intrinsically nonvolatile, meaning it can keep information without being electrically powered. However, nonvolatility often comes with a trade-off between the information […]
