Overview SPINNET stands for Microwave SPINtronics for Wireless Sensor NETworks. It is a 42-month-long ANR project. Wireless sensor networks WSN are a key technology of the Internet of things (IoT) that couples physical infrastructures with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Nowadays, sensors are everywhere, in vehicles, in habitat, in smart phones, in factories or in […]

On October 23 at 11am at SPINTEC room 434A, Guillaume Salagnac (left) and Tanguy Risset (right) from INRIA Lyon will kindly present the work of their team during a seminar entitled: “NV-RAM and harvesting technologies for next generation sensors: a system and software perspective” The Socrate Inria Team (https://team.inria.fr/socrate/) has launched a new research activity […]

Paulo COELHO defends his PhD on Tuesday 30th October, 2pm, at the CNRS conference room (25 rue des Martyrs). An access request is required before hand, is you wish to attend. This thesis is a study of spin transfer torque in double barrier magnetic tunnel junction for STT-MRAM applications. In these double barrier junctions, spin […]

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an essential tool in a broad variety of fields, with good efficiency up to the kDa mass range (~10-21 g). We demonstrate here Nano-electro-mechanical systems mass spectroscopy (NEMS-MS) with arrays of individually addressed nanomechanical resonators, allowing for measurements in the MDa (~10−18 g) to GDa (~10−15 g) mass range. Monocrystalline silicon […]

We report the observation of spin-to-charge current conversion in strained mercury telluride at room temperature, using spin pumping experiments. We show that a HgCdTe barrier can be used to protect the HgTe from direct contact with the ferromagnet, leading to very high conversion rates. Conventional spintronics is based upon the use of magnetic materials to […]

Overview FEOrgSpin project has been accepted in the framework of AAPG ANR 2018 call. This collaborative research project aims to expand current knowledge on ferroelectric control of spin polarization at different spinterfaces comprising ferromagnets (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) organic materials in order to develop novel functionalities of organic spintronics devices. The main objectives of the […]

Paul Noel was among the 7 laureates of a best poster prize at the Journée de la Matière Condensée, the french conference on condensed matter, held for its 16th edition, at the end of August 2018 in Grenoble. Congratulation to him! The title of his poster was: Highly efficient spin-to-charge current conversion at room temperature in […]

Continual growth in the size and functionality of FPGA over few years leads to an increasing interest in their use for high speed applications. However, the memory access speed limits the execution speed. The great amount of data affects the whole function. This work introduces a novel high speed and high-area efficiency MRAM based non-volatile […]

MAGICVALLEY stands for MAGnetism InduCed VALLEY polarization in large scale 2D materials (2018-2022). Objectives In the monolayer limit, two dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (2H-MX2, with M=Mo, W and X=S, Se) are semiconductors with a sizeable (1-2 eV) and direct electronic bandgap as well as (degenerate) valleys at the K+/K- corners of the Brillouin zone. […]

Magnon-spintronics aspires to become a novel information technology exploiting the spin degree of freedom. The goal of MAESTRO (2018-2021) is to masterize spin-wave (SW) turbulences occurring in low loss magnetic materials, whose benefit is to exploit the operation of magnon-devices at large spin currents. It requires fundamental progress on our insight about magnon-magnon interaction – […]
