Spintronics

Germanium Telluride is an interesting candidate material for spintronic devices. In a comprehensive study at BESSY II, a Helmholtz-RSF Joint Research Group has now revealed how the spin texture switches by ferroelectric polarization within individual nanodomains. Germanium telluride (GeTe) is known more

Effects at the interface between magnetic and non-magnetic layers have been exploited for data storage for three decades. This has led to a steady increase in hard drive storage capacity and is one reason why researchers see potential for ushering data processing into a new era. One way these interf more

Researchers at the University of Basel in collaboration with colleagues from Pisa have developed a new concept that uses the electron spin to switch an electrical current. In addition to fundamental research, such spin valves are also the key elements in spintronics – a type of electronics that expl more

Molecular nano magnets such as single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are a class of coordination complexes with numerous potential applications such as information storage devices, Q-bits in quantum computing and spintronics materials. One of the greatest challenges in taking these molecules to end-user ap more

Magnetic skyrmion lattices have exceptional properties, making them ideally suited for a new generation of spintronics devices. As devices are surface-dominated, a key question concerns the influence of surfaces on the spin structure. While a wide range of methods exist for studies of 2D skyrmions, more

Magnetic two-dimensional materials have attracted considerable attention for their significant potential application in spintronics. Here, we systematically study the electronic structures and magnetic properties of a 3d transition metal doped InSe monolayer based on density functional theory (DFT). more
