A new concept of thermally stable and electrically switchable Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) scalable to diameter down to 4nm was proposed and demonstrated. By dramatically increasing the thickness of the storage layer, a bulk magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the plane of the layers can be induced which dramatically improves the memory […]

On August 31, we have the pleasure to welcome Coriolan Tiusan prof. at Univ. Cluj-Napoca, ROMANIA and Senior Researcher at Institute Jean-Lamour, Nancy. He will give us a seminar which will take place at SPINTEC 434A at 9:30. Revisited aspects of spintronics: coupling and tunneling magnetoresistance, electric field control of anisotropy The presentation will cover […]

Monday, June 25th, 11 a.m, room 434A “Towards organic spintronics: embedded many-body perturbation approach for metal-molecule spinterface” by Jing Li, condensed matter theory group, Neel Institute, Grenoble Abstract Organic spintronics is a young and rising research field targeting at realizing spintronic devices by using organic material benefiting from its long spin lifetime. Recent experiments show […]

In the framework of an internal collaborative project between CEA-LETI and CEA/CNRS/UGA-SPINTEC Lab, Rana Alhalabi proposed a new Look Up Table (LUT) architecture, which is one of the elementary cell of FPGAs (Field Programmable Grid Array). This innovation offers a 55% sense delay reduction, 47% number of MTJ reduction, 46% power-delay product reduction and a […]

A complete set of the generalized drift-diffusion equations for a coupled charge and spin dynamics in ferromagnets in the presence of extrinsic spin-orbit coupling is derived from the quantum kinetic approach, covering major transport phenomena, such as the spin and anomalous Hall effects, spin swapping, spin precession, and relaxation processes. It is argued that the […]

SPINTEC offers a theoretical post-doctoral position in finite element modeling for Spintronics. The objective of our project is to combine key ingredients for modern Spintronics and SpinOrbitronics modeling within the original finite element based multi-physics software. The final goal is to make this software and its documentation accessible to a large community via the dedicated […]

Michal Stano, Olivier Fruchart, Magnetic nanowires and nanotubes, pp.155-267, in Handbook of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 27, E. Brück Ed (2018). DOI: 10.1016/bs.hmm.2018.08.002 We propose a review of the current knowledge about the synthesis, magnetic properties and applications of magnetic cylindrical nanowires and nanotubes. By nano we consider diameters reasonably smaller than a micrometer. At […]

The recent discovery of nanometer-size whirling magnetic structures named magnetic skyrmions has opened a new path to manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale [1,2]. Magnetic skyrmions are characterized by a chiral and topologically non-trivial spin structure, i.e their magnetization texture cannot be continuously transformed into the uniform magnetic state without causing a singularity (see Fig.1). Skyrmions […]
