Applications in artificial intelligence architectures require cell elements that can take multiple states based on different cell inputs. Hardware realizations of such elements can also be realized on magnetic non-volatile memory (MRAM) cells. This technology being developed at Spintec, associates non-volatility with fast switching of the order of a few nanoseconds. In conventional binary memory […] >>

Spintronics, or spin electronics, revolutionized the field of magnetic data storage in the 1990’s thanks to the manipulation of spin properties of devices instead of, or in addition to, charge degree of freedom. Spintronics was triggered by the discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance and led to a new generation of hard disks for data storage, of […] >>

Spin momentum transfer allows exploring and studying the non-linear magnetization oscillations in nano-sized magnetic structures and opens potential for novel applications as integrated microwave components. A defining feature of spintronic oscillators is their non-linear dependence of the precession frequency on the amplitude (non-isochronicity) that provides for additional rf functionalities and that modifies the response to […] >>

Wireless sensor networks and smart sensors are at the core of the Internet of Things, requiring low cost, compact and low power electronic components. The most power consuming parts are the wireless communication transmitter and receiver modules, which remain active more or less permanently, while actual communication takes place only during a limited amount of […] >>

The Spintec laboratory supports the R&D of Crocus-Technology, a company that develops magnetic field sensors. Optimizing the performance of these sensors, based on magnetic tunnel junctions, requires research on materials, micromagnetic configurations and junction transport properties, including magnetic and electrical noise. The purpose of the internship is to find ways to improve the sensors through […] >>
