The team is proud to annouce that three posters presenting the work achieved in the team won awards at the Spin Electronics and Nanomagnetism Colloquium 2023. The 1st prize poster was won by Junta Igarashi.The 2 second prizes were awarded to Heloise Damas and Jun Xiao Lin. Congratulations to them! Read more…
In this paper we discuss the optimization of the deposition of stoichiometric and epitaxial Pt/FVO heterostructures by pulsed laser deposition and examines their spin-related phenomena. From angle-dependent magnetotransport measurements, both anisotropic magnetoresistance and spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) effects were observed. The findings show the SMR component as the primary contributor Read more…
In the framwork of Yi Peng Phd and thanks to a close collaboration between the Spin Team and the Spintec laboratory single-shot all-optical helicity-independent switching has been established in Co/Ho multilayers extending the number of material combinations showing this fascinating property. This ability is studied in wedgeshaped Co/Ho multilayers by Read more…
We recently published in Nature Communication the results obtained thanks to a close collaboration between the Spin Team and the Spintec laboratory. In this study, we demonstrate that single laser-pulse switching of magnetization can be achieved for a wide range of rare earth and transition metal multilayers, making this phenomenon much more general.

July 11th we had our Spin Team BBQ party in Maron near the Moselle river! We could experience sun, rain, hail and thunderstorm during a single afternoon 🙂
Thanks to a close collaboration with the IPCMS laboratory in Strasbourg (France), supported by the ANR SwanGate, we have studied the depth profile of a weak stripe magnetic texture and its evolution when the magnetisation is reversed in-plane. We show that the conventional weak stripe texture undergoes a well-defined undulation Read more…
In our paper titled “Spin-to-charge conversion by spin pumping in sputtered polycrystalline BixSe1−x” published in Physical Review Materials, we discuss the potential of the topological materials for obtaining low power and fast memory devices based on efficient spin-orbit torque switching. In particular, we focus on sputtered polycrystalline BixSe1−x, which is relatively easy Read more…
In Yi Peng’s thesis, laser magnetisation reversal in a single-shot mode was demonstrated for CoLu-based magnetic nanostructures. Details of this study are published in Phys. Rev. B. and are accessible via this link: Phys.rev. B 107, 214415 (2023).
From June to July the SpinTeam has the honor and the great pleasure to have the visit of Professor Chih Huang Lai from National Tsing Hua University, Professor Eric E Fullerton from University California San Diego and Professor Andrew Kent from New York University.
