Topic Classical microelectronics is reaching its limits of downward scalability, reaching technological or scientific bottlenecks. Magnetic random access memories, based on magnetic tunnel junctions storing and reading bits of information, are emerging key ICT components. They are of immediate relevance for low-power and high-speed processor and mass-storage cache memory. Similar to other technologies, ways are […]

On Friday 26 April at 9h30 Cécile NAUD from SPINTEC will defend her PHD entitled: Magnetic particles for the treatment of cancer by magneto-mechanical effect, application to glioblastoma Place : Palladium 2 (floor) Maison MINATEC (free entrance) Abstract: Glioblastoma is a brain cancer with a very poor prognosis. Existing therapies improve only slightly the median […]

On March, 21, we have the pleasure to welcome Williams Savero Torres from the Catalan Institut of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Barcelone, Spain. Doctor in Physics from UGA/SPINTEC (2011-2014), he will give us a seminar at 11:00, CEA/IRIG, Bat. 1005, room 445 entitled : Spin Hall effect and anisotropic spin dynamics in graphene-based spin devices […]

In the field of spintronics, which relies on the spin-dependent transport properties of matter, exploring spin fluctuations and phase transitions in ultrathin films is essential as it provides key information to engineer materials for applications. Here, O. Gladii et al investigated the generic character of a novel method to probe spin fluctuations through demonstration with […]

Measured switching diagrams of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions exhibit unexpected behavior at high voltages associated with significant heating of the storage layer. The boundaries deviate from the critical lines corresponding to the coercive field, which contrasts with the theoretically predicted behavior of a standard macrospin-based model. In this paper, we are proposing a modified model […]

NANOPOLY proposes a ground-breaking yet cost effective method to extend our control over impedance and parasitic phenomena in monolithic circuit components by independently tuning electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the integrated layers to values far beyond what nature can provide. This approach will re-define all components used in existing analogue circuit design regardless of […]

The very popular magnetic bubbles called skyrmions are promising for dense data storage, logic and neuromorphic applications thanks to the unique sense of rotation (chirality) of their surrounding domain wall. The so-called Dzyaloshinskii−Moriya Interaction (DMI) is crucial for their stability. Here, T. Srivastava et al. have shown that DMI can be dynamically and locally controlled […]
