Spin-orbit torques in 2D

By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, we will investigate spin-orbit torques in two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures. Our focus will be on stacks comprising spin-orbit and magnetically ordered materials that include both conventional 3d transition metals and novel 2D magnets. We aim to study the efficiency of spin-orbit torque generation, energy-efficient magnetization switching, and the realization of novel spintronic f... | show all >> show all members>>

Antiferromagnetic magnetization dynamics at the nanoscale

In this project, we will establish an experimental platform for exploiting non-linear, spin-orbit-torque-driven dynamics in a synthetic antiferromagnet (sAF) multilayer as a potential fundamental building block for future spintronic-based neuromorphic computing. We will combine high-frequency magnetotransport measurements with femtosecond nanoscale imaging approaches, including a novel aberration-corrected uTEM methodology. Moving beyond the sAF ... | show all >> show all members>>

Superfluid anisotropy and diode effect in 2D superconducting crystals

We aim to investigate superfluid symmetry in two-dimensional crystals with strong spin-orbit. We will probe the superfluid stiffness of NbSe₂ using kinetic inductance measurements as a function of external magnetic field. An innovative resonator technique shall allow us to measure the inductive response of few-layer Nbse2 to a DC bias. In parallel, we shall study the impact of the displacement field on magnetoelectric effects in dual gated junc... | show all >> show all members>>

Coherent spin-current coupling in proximitized germanium

C05 fabricates and operates semiconducting-superconducting quantum circuits that combine gate-defined proximitized quantum dots in germanium-based heterostructures and gate-controlled Josephson junctions with superconducting electrodes and phase-controlled loops such that strong spin-orbit interaction results in the coherent interaction between spinful Andreev bound states and supercurrents. Conversion of quantum information from semiconducting q... | show all >> show all members>>
