Due to the nanometer size of magnetic tunnel junctions and high interfacial resistance of ultrathin MgO tunnel barriers, temperature modulation at GHz frequency can be achieved in these devices and efficiently use to amplify microwaves in spintronics oscillators. Spintronics oscillators use two major phenomena discovered in spin-electronics: the tunnel magnetoresistance of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) […]

Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a new hard disk drive (HDD) recording technology which uses a temporary near field heating of the media during write to increase hard disk drive storage density. It has been under development in HDD industry for more than 10 years. A phenomenon totally overlooked during the past development of […]

Bernard DIENY receives the 2018 IEEE Carrier Achievement Award for contributions to spintronics applications including spin-valves and MRAMs and for strengthening the relationship between magnetics and microelectronics communities. The Award will be handed out at the upcoming MMM/Intermag conference in Washington in January 2019. Through this award Bernard Diény becomes a life member in the […]

Tocha for Dissipationless topological channels for information transfer and quantum metrology, is a Research and Innovation Action FETPROACTIVE project funded by the European Commission. The goal of TOCHA, a five years project head by Sergio O. Valenzuela from ICN2, Barcelona, and for which Spintec is partner, is to develop the next generation of topological devices […]
