High quality PrVO3 and LaVO3 thin films are grown by ozone MBE, with excellent control of the stoechiometry and deposition process.
These exhibit anti-polar motion of the rare-earth cations, which opens new routes
to tailor ferroelectricity by design in symmetry-breaking magnetic oxides superlattices.
Direct imaging of chiral domain walls and Néel-type skyrmionium in ferrimagnetic alloys. Boris Seng is involved in a PhD dual degree program with Mainz University and Lorraine University. Thanks to Boris’s work, the publication in Read more…
Ultrafast control of thin film nanomagnets using femtosecond laser pulses has attracted considerable attention for future ultrafast and energy-efficient photo-spintronics storage=memory devices. Single femtosecond laser pulse magnetization switching without an applied external magnetic field has Read more…
In collaboration with the “Laboratoire de physique et chimie théoriques” and the Max Born Institute, we theoretically investigated the effect of optical and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) circularly polarized femtosecond pulses on the magnetization dynamics of Read more…
