Giant enhancement of magnetic effect will benefit spintronics Researchers from Spintec have demonstrated that coating a cobalt film in graphene doubles the film’s perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), so that it reaches a value 20 times higher than that of traditional metallic cobalt/platinum multilayers that are being researched for this property. In a material with a […]

L.D. Buda-Prejbeanu, H. Szambolics, F. Garcia-Sanchez, I. Firastrau, J.Ch. Toussaint The effect of the spin polarized current on the magnetization dynamics is an extremely hot topic nowadays both from fundamental and applicative point of view. The micromagnetic modeling become in this context an irreplaceable prediction tool for exploring at nm length scale the magnetization distribution […]
