Overview
From new concepts to devices : we are exploring new concepts in spintronics based on spin dependent transport with various systems; structure inversion asymmetry (spin orbit torques, Rashba effect, Spin Hall Effect, Topological Insulators), and alternative geometries in order to develop innovative architectures of devices.
Research directions
Spin Orbit Torques
We aim at understanding and mastering spin orbit torques for efficient and deterministic magnetization switching with in plane currents.
3-Terminal MRAM
We develop electrically addressable non-volatile memories combining high speed and infinite endurance.

Les recherches de Ioan-Mihai Miron en spintronique portent sur des nouveaux systèmes magnétiques de stockage de l’information. Menées au laboratoire Spintec, à Grenoble, elles sont encore jeunes — elles datent de 2011. Pourtant, elles représentent ... - Creation of Magnetic Skyrmion Bubble Lattices by Ultrafast Laser in Ultrathin Films (December 18th, 2018)
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically nontrivial magnetic domains where the magnetization rotates in a fixed sense (chirality). They are usually created by magnetic fields or by non-homogeneous electric currents. Here S.G. Je et al. have shown ...
