Jon Gorchon wrote a review paper on Ultra-fast Spintronic in # 78 of reflets de la physique which you can access online (https://www.refletsdelaphysique.fr/articles/refdp/pdf/2024/02/refdp202478p12.pdf) Abstract: Magnetism is omnipresent in our lives: compasses, electric motors, transformers, magnetic storage for the “cloud”… Understanding how the magnetization of a magnet behaves in the face Read more…
Welcoming Seven Visitors from UCSD and NYU Through the NSF’s IRES Program. Thanks to funding from the National Science Foundation’s International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program, we are delighted to welcome Ashley Thorshov, Ashley Corey, Connor Loewy, Preston Le, Nathan Davis, and Professor Eric Fullerton from the University of Read more…
Through a long-standing collaboration between the Spin team at the IJL and the LSI at the Ecole Polytechnique, the injection of anomalous Hall currents has been studied in Hall devices in contact with a lateral load circuit. The voltage and lateral power variation extracted confirm the theoretical predictions. This research Read more…
DESBUIS Valentin (a graduate of the Nancy Ecole des Mines) completed his thesis entitled “Electronic spin manipulation in all solid state devices” in the SPIN team at the Institut Jean Lamour in 2023. This work was done under the supervision of Pr. Michel HEHN and Dr. Daniel LACOUR. In 2024, Read more…
Antiferromagnets are an exciting class of materials due to their inherently THz dynamics and complex interactions. Here, the highlight of our work is the demonstration that it is possible to switch the coupled antiferromagnet with a single femtosecond laser pulse. Our results provide a means of direct and deterministic control Read more…
Junta Igarashi received his Ph.D. from Tohoku University in 2021.During his Ph.D., thanks to the financial support of the Graduate Program in Spintronics, Tohoku University (GP-Spin), he had the opportunity to stay in Nancy as a research internship student, where he worked on all-optical switching in GdFeCo-based spin valves.Junta Igarashi Read more…

Designed for both adults and children aged 8 and up, “Magnetic” is an original exhibition created by the Jean Lamour Institute, a joint research Read more…
Jon Gorchon has been awarded the prestigious CNRS Bronze Medal for 2024. This year, the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) honored 48 exceptional researchers with the Bronze Medal, highlighting their significant contributions to advancing science. The CNRS Bronze Medal is awarded to researchers for their first major works Read more…
Thanks to a collaboration between IJL and SPINTEC laboratories we demonstrate that single pulse all optical switching is achieved in Co68Tb32/Co100-xGdx/Co68Tb32 tri-layers. The reversal behavior can be tuned from toggle to precessional switching by changing the composition of the Co100-xGdxalloy. More detail: Appl. Phys. Lett. 124, 022405 (2024)
A new study has shed light on how a thin layer of platinum with very high crystalline quality can convert the spin of electrons into electric current and vice versa. This phenomenon, known as spin-to-charge interconversion, is crucial for developing novel devices that use the spin of electrons for storing Read more…
