Research Overview

The aim of the group is develop next generationmicro and nanodevices for computing systems including memory devices (MRAMs), high frequency detectors (Spin diodes) and generators (nano oscillators), devices for non-charge informtion transportation (magnonics), and devices for non-conventional computing systems such as memristors to implement synapses and neurons. We have an extensive experience designing devices using spintronic materials, which are able to control both the charge and spin of electrons. Now we are focused in study new materials able to polarize the spin of the electron beyon heavy metals and ferromagnets, and systems able to support microwave and THz excitations.

Group's research interests

  • Fabrication and characterization of magnetic thin films with novel properties.

  • Understanding of electron transport materials based on material and magnetic symmetries.

  • Generation, propagation and detection of spin waves.

  • Development of low power consumption RAMs

  • Development of new device conceptes for non-linear electronics, spin diodes, oscillators, memristors…
