SpinOrbitronics

The group explores novel concepts in spintronics based on spin-dependent transport in low dimensional magnetic materials in which spin-orbit coupling plays an important role. These include thin films and multilayer stacks, combining ferromagnetic (FM), antiferromagnetic (AFM), perovskite oxides and 2D materials. We resort to epitaxial growth, surface/interface and magneto-transport (including synchrotron-based) investigations, as well as nanofabrication, to engineer, characterize and design novel heterostructures for a more sustainable and green electronics.

The group’s activities are actually focused on :

1. Engineering artificial interfaces and crystalline symmetry, with more accessible materials, to manipulate efficiently magnetic order parameters.
2. Searching for materials and combination of materials for brain-inspired architectures.
3. Exploiting the inherently ultrafast dynamics of electron spins for magnetic storage/processing technology.
4. Manipulating magnetic anisotropy for ultralow field magnetic sensors.
