Magnetoacoustic wave devices for ultralow power spintronics KU Leuven
Among the technologies that may lead to a paradigm shift with respect to current CMOS technology, spintronics presents several advantages to achieve area and power reduction. The possibility to perform multifrequency processing and the non-volatility of the magnetic materials could provide new functionalities to circuit designers for various applications. However, a major limitation for the realization of spintronic devices is the lack of a ...
Spintronics with Transition metal Dichalcogenides. University of Antwerp
Magnetoelectric compounds for spintronic applications KU Leuven
Spintronica-apparaten hebben potentieel in toekomstige toepassingen met ultralaag vermogen. Momenteel heeft de besturing van magneten door spin-transfer of spin-orbit-koppels een hoog energieverbruik. Multiferroïsche magneto-elektrische materialen en laminaatcomposieten met een laag piëzo-elektrisch materiaal en een laag magnetostrictief materiaal zouden transducers met lage energie mogelijk kunnen maken voor de besturing van magneten. Het ...
Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Modelling Algorithms for Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in Nanoelectronic, Spintronic and Valleytronic Devices Ghent University
Two-dimensional (2D) materials attract a lot of interest for the development of novel nanoelectronic devices, owing to their monolayer nature, which allows for integration in planar devices. The most well-known example of such a material is graphene. Another class of 2D materials are transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which exhibit similar properties as graphene (superior carrier mobility, high cut-off frequency, etc), but are still ...
Electrically controlled ferromagnitism in two-dimensional semiconductors. KU Leuven
The DIMAG project is dedicated to establishing a new type of 2D magnetic materials, which not only exhibits a fundamentally new type of ferromagnetic behavior, but also has optimal characteristics for spintronics applications. This 3-years project, brings together five academic laboratories: (1) the Laboratory for Semiconductor Physics (KU Leuven, Belgium), (2) the Institute for Nuclear and Radiation Physics (KU Leuven, Belgium), (3) the ...
Locally probing the magneto-structure of adatoms on graphene using radioactive ions. KU Leuven
For decades, electronics has been based on the charge of electrons. By exploiting the additional spin (magnetism) degree of freedom, spin-electronics (or spintronics) promises a new generation of devices with the advantages of non-volatility and higher processing speed, integration density and power efficiency. A new spintronics paradigm is emerging, in which the material hosting the magnetic properties is two-dimensional, namely graphene, ...
Chiral-induced spin selectivity effect at nano and single-molecule scales (CISSCA) KU Leuven
Chirality is often considered as a structural property of molecules, but the concept also applies to electrons because of their spin. Achiral at rest, they acquire a helicity (chirality) in the direction of motion. Consequently, electrons are filtered according to their spin when crossing chiral materials. This newly uncovered chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is surprisingly large. Spin polarization up to 100% has been ...
