Research Team & Research Topic
Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
Formed by researchers from various research groups and institutions, our interdisciplinary research team explores the potential that novel technologies in magnetism offer for Information and Communication Technologies. One of our key research areas is three-dimensional nanomagnetism, an innovative field that focuses on understanding the emergent physics that develops in 3D and curvilinear systems and applying this new physics to magnetic memories and neuromorphic computing systems. We have synthesis and nanofabrication tools, along with systems for advanced magnetic and transport characterization of nanomaterials, as well as workstations for micromagnetic simulations. We strongly collaborate on this topic with IMDEA Nanociencia in Madrid, ALBA Synchrotron in Barcelona, and SPINTEC in Grenoble, France, where we conduct part of our experimental work. National and international projects fund our research.
Research lines / projects proposed
3D nanomagnetism is attracting increasing attention, with new physics expected related to three-dimensional spin and space degrees of freedom, coming from specific magnetization topologies, curvature... Cylindrical nanowires are the perfect playground for exploring the field, owing to their simplicity while displaying 3D ingredients for new physics. Taking this into account, we propose to develop a project on domain-wall spintronics in nanowires, focused on one or more of these topics:
(1) Magnetization dynamics driven by Oersted field in nanowires with complex energy landscapes emerging from axial compositional gradients.
(2) Developing a proof of concept of a race-track-based on cylindrical nanowires.
(3) Exploring the potential use of magnetic nanowires in neuromorphic computing.
(4) Time-resolved micromagnetic studies of domain wall transformations in magnetic nanowires.
The project would include secondments at ALBA and SPINTEC.
