Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are good candidates for data manipulation and storage in spintronic applications (logic and/or memory). M. Schott et al. have recently shown that a gate voltage can nucleate or annihilate skyrmions. This proof of concept of a skyrmion switch paves the way towards skyrmion-based applications. Skyrmions are chiral magnetic bubbles: their magnetic texture, […]

On 25th October 2016 our host Institut INAC welcomes students for a presentation of internship topics proposed to host Master-2 students during Spring 2017. Details will be provided later.

Overview GREAT (European H2020 project) was accepted at the Summer 2015. Its kick-off meeting took place at SPINTEC in Grenoble on February 22nd-23rd 2016. The project aims at developing magnetic stacks able to equally perform memory, radio-frequency as well as sensor functionalities on the same chip, to address Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The main objectives of […]

Thematic overview Spintec was originally heavily involved in read heads for disk drive, yet this activity all but vanished due to the strong consolidation of the industry, now with only two players with strong internal R&D capabilities. The technologies used consumer applications sensors remain relatively simple and the industry is extremely conservative, which limits the […]

Integrated monolithic 3D magnetic compass G. Gaudin, Ph. Sabon, C. Baraduc, A. Schuhl, I.L. Prejbeanu We developed a new 3D magnetometer concept, fully integrated, more compact, more accurate and more efficient than current solutions. This magnetometer is perfectly suitable for mobile applications of spatial localization requiring a large autonomy. More and more portable consumer devices […]

Un livre auquel Spintec a contribué a reçu un prix de la Société de Magnétisme du Japon, Baraduc, C. (2014)
