Exploring the Spin Physics at the Boundaries of Materials with Strong Spin-Orbit Interaction (SpinBound)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

I propose to investigate a new research frontier on spin physics at the boundaries (surfaces) of materials with strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Although the properties of these materials have been studied for more than half a century, researchers are just starting to grasp the richness of SOI phenomena that occur at them. SOI leads to surface and boundary states with unusually large spin spli ...

Flexoelectricity (FLEXOELECTRICITY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Flexoelectricity is a general property of all insulators whereby they generate a voltage when subjected to an inhomogeneous deformation such as bending. Research on this property has taken off with the observation that, due to the large gradients they can accommodate, devices operating in the nanoscale display colossal flexoelectric effects. The present proposal aims to set up Euroe’s first labor ...

Spintronics with Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet Nanodevices (STIFNANO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"Integration of magnetic functionalities into electronic circuits requires the use of low cost, scalable methods focusing on the manipulation of magnetic moments by electric fields, as opposed to external magnetic fields. Spin polarized carriers can exert a torque to control the magnetization orientation. These carriers can be injected from ferromagnets (FM). They can also originate from the spin- ...
