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.

Recent news
- SKYLOGIC – An ANR project (November 09th, 2017)
The recent discovery of nanometer-size whirling magnetic structures named magnetic skyrmions has opened a new path to manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale. Magnetic skyrmions are characterized by a chiral and topologically non-trivial spin structure, i.e ... - Proposals for student internships for Spring 2018 (October 03rd, 2017)
