TODAY 27 Nov. 12 pm: ICMAB Periodical Lectures “Electric-field control of magnetism in multiferroic heterostructures” By Sebastiaan van Dijken, NanoSpin, Dep. of Applied Physics, Aalto University School of Science, Finland. Sala d’Actes Carles Miravitlles

Spintronic devices currently rely on magnetic switching or controlled motion of magnetic domain walls by an external magnetic field or electric current. Achieving the same degree of magnetic controllability using an electric field has potential advantages including low power consumption. Here, an approach to electrically control local magnetic properties will be discussed [1-5]. The method is based on recurrent strain transfer from regular ferroelastic stripe domains in a ferroelectric BaTiO3 substrate to magnetostrictive films (e.g. CoFe, CoFeB, and Fe). Dominance of the strain-induced magnetoelastic anisotropy in these heterostructures causes full imprinting of ferroelectric domain patterns into ferromagnetic films and strong pinning of magnetic domain walls onto ferroelectric boundaries [6,7]. Optical polarization microscopy measurements of the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric domain structures indicate that domain correlations and strong inter-ferroic domain wall pinning are maintained in an applied electric field. As a result, deterministic electric-field control over the formation and erasure of ferromagnetic domains [1-3] and reversible motion of magnetic domain walls [4,5] are obtained. In addition, regular modulations of magnetic anisotropy in strain-coupled multiferroic heterostructures provide a versatile platform for the excitation and manipulation of spin waves [8,9]. These findings open up new routes towards electric-field driven spintronics and magnonics.

Research projects offered as TFG in Physics (Degree in Physics at UAB) 2017

1.- Photoresponse of non-centrosymmetric materials

Supervisors: Josep Fontcuberta & Ignasi Fina

 

Brief description of the objectives

Non-centrosymmetric materials have unique properties that could be of the highest interest for efficient photovoltaic energy conversion. The aim of the proposed TFG is that the student get used with the concepts involved in the photoresponse of non-centro-symmetric materials and the methods to study and understand it.

 

Brief description of the methodology

The project will include the electric characterization of ferroelectric and other polar materials (mainly thin films only few tens of nanometer thick) and their photoresponse. The samples will be illuminated with light of various wavelengths and polarization and the photoresponse will be determined. The candidate will participate to the weekly meetings of our research group, learning how to present and discus experimental results.

 

2.- Using light to study new materials for electronics

Supervisors: Gervasi Herranz

 

Brief description of the objectives

In our lab we are investigating new materials for applications in information technologies. One of our research lines aims at modulating the information stored in magnetic moments by the application of electric field pulses that, in turn, generate strain waves that stretch/squeeze locally the ferromagnet and change its magnetic state. We study these phenomena optically: the student will be trained in optical imaging and spectroscopy.

 

Brief description of the methodology

The candidate will have access to our advanced optical laboratory, which includes optical spectroscopy and high-resolution imaging tools. The candidate will follow an intensive training, so as to ensure a solid understanding of the techniques. The student will be acquainted with state-of-the art techniques that allow real-space mapping of optical responses with diffraction limitation That allows the visualization of features below the micron down to just a few of hundreds of nanometers, enabling direct imaging of small devices and high sensitivity to magnetic fields. The optical lab at ICMAB is suited to visualize plasmon propagation in real space as well as in reciprocal space, i.e., plasmonic and photonic band dispersions can be obtained from throughout near-IR to near-UV frequencies.

The magnetoelastic effect—the change of magnetic properties caused by the elastic deformation of a magnetic material—has been proposed as an alternative approach to magnetic fields for the low-power control of magnetization states of nanoelements since it avoids charge currents, which entail ohmic losses. Here, we have studied the effect of dynamic strain accompanying a surface acoustic wave on magnetic nanostructures in thermal equilibrium. We have developed an experimental technique based on stroboscopic X-ray microscopy that provides a pathway to the quantitative study of strain waves and magnetization at the nanoscale. We have simultaneously imaged the evolution of both strain and magnetization dynamics of nanostructures at the picosecond time scale and found that magnetization modes have a delayed response to the strain modes, adjustable by the magnetic domain configuration

Dr. Ingrid Cañero from CNRS will give a talk at ICMAB

Next Tuesday July 25th, at 11:30h, Ingrid Cañero will give the talk entitled “Electronic, chemical and structural effects on the optical properties of (nano)ferroelectric oxides and related compounds” at Sala d’Actes Matgas at ICMAB.

Anna Fritschen

My name is Anna Fritschen and I am doing a 3 month internship at the Mulfox group (January – April 2017) as part of my master studies of material science. I come from the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany. Here at ICMAB, I am preparing targets for thin films of different functional oxides.

We have lost a lovely regard and a giant scientist

Mildred Dresselhaus, the pioneering scientist and engineer, has sadly passed away at the age of 86. Born in 1930 in Brooklyn and raised in the Bronx, Dresselhaus was the first female Institute Professor at MIT – where she focused mainly on graphite, graphite intercalation compounds, carbon nanotubes and low-dimensional thermoelectrics – and a significant figure in the development of nanoscience as a new field of energy research.

She was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1990 for her research into the electronic properties of materials, as well as for promoting opportunities for women in science and engineering. Millie also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama in 2014 and was the first woman to win the National Medal of Science in Engineering. Her work was distinguished by many other awards, including the National Medal of Science and the Enrico Fermi Award, and she was the first solo recipient of a Kavli Prize for her contribution to the study of phonons, electron-phonon interactions, and thermal transport in nanostructures

Hello
I am Morteza from Iran.
I am in ICMAB to use research opportunity for 6 month (January – July 2017) and work on my PhD thesis.
I have photonic master degree from sbu in Iran and LASER OPTIC engineering bachelor degree from tabriz university.

Proximity Probes

The Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) Lab is one of the Scientific and Technical Services at ICMAB. The service offers several AFM microsocpes for surface characterization. MFP-3D, Azylum, especially dedicated to magnetic, ferroelectric and photoelectric characterization. 

The SPM Lab offers SPM related experiments both to the ICMAB community and to external users. We are open to all reserachers at ICMAB who would like to use the SPM equipment for their research and to other researchers from any other research center, university, technological center, spin off or industry.

We are also open to international researchers who would like to do some measurements with us, and researchers who are within the NFFA Europe project initiative.

Nahuel Statuto

My name is Nahuel Statuto and I have a Degree in Mathematics and Master in Theorical Physics from Universitat de Barcelona. Now, I performing a PhD under the supervision of Dr. Ferran Macià, in the group of Multifunctional Oxides and Complex Structures (2016 – 2019)

Ferran Macià

 

 I’m joining MULFOX (as a RyC scientist) to work within the multifunctional oxides group. My work experience and interests are magnetism and spintronics in mesoscopic systems. Currently, I seek new types of information processing inspired on how the brain works; I consider that exploiting complexity of magnetic and electric signals at the nanoscale is an alternative approach to device miniaturization. I believe there is life outside the lab and we, scientists, must connect our work with society.

Mathieu Mirjolet

Hello there! My name is Mathieu Mirjolet. After finishing my master’s degree in Physics at the Université de Lorraine in France, I decided to join the Multifunctional Oxides and Complex Structures group of ICMAB in order to carry out my PhD.

In everyday life I enjoy travelling, reading, listening to some classical music, or just setting the world to rights with my friends and a fine whisky. Hope to see you around!

Ferran Macià

I am a research scientist with a background in mathematics and telecommunication engineering. My work experience and interests are magnetism and spin-dependence electron transport (spintronics) in mesoscopic systems, magnetic quantum tunneling and coherence in low dimensional magnetism. I am also interested in dynamical systems especially those involving magnetism. I follow an interdisciplinary research approach-contributing mostly with experimental work but also with theoretical and computational studies.

Nano Fabrication

The Nanoquim Platform offers five independent cleanroom facilities classified as ISO7, which corresponds to a Class 10,000 cleanroom according to FED STD 209E. These labs are equipped to develop different types of chemical and physical processes, like the physico-chemical synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials.

Yu Chen

I studied in Shanghai University as a master student.On 2nd Nov. 2016, I incorporated to ICMAB.
In ICMAB, I study the transport properties of the LAO/STO 2DEGs and the interaction of transport with light. My work also focuses in imaging magnetic and f
erroelectric domains in multiferroic structures.
