Nanomagnetism and Spintronics Group
NanoSpin
Leader: Prof. Sebastiaan van Dijken
Overview
The Nanomagnetism and Spintronics (NanoSpin) Group focuses on experimental studies of magnetic, magneto-optical, and spin-transport phenomena in new functional materials and hybrid nanoscale structures. Current research topics include electric-field control of ferromagnetism, spin transport in ferrimagnetic and ferroelectric tunnel junctions, and magneto-plasmonics of patterned nanostructures.

News
| 23.1.2012 | The manuscript "Electric-field control of magnetic domain wall motion and local magnetization reversal" has been accepted for publication in Nature Scientific Reports. All experiments and micromagnetic simulations in this publication were conducted in the NanoSpin Laboratory. |
| 21.1.2012 | Witold Skowronski, a graduate student from AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow (Poland), is visiting the NanoSpin Group from 1.2.2012 to 31.5.2012. During this period he will focus on electric-field induced magnetic anisotropy. |
| 15.1.2012 | Mikko Kataja, a graduate student from NanoSpin, will visit CIC NanoGUNE in San Sebastian (Spain) for a 3-month visit starting on 1.2.2012. At CIC, Mikko will work on magneto-plasmonic nanostructures. |
| 4.1.2012 | The manuscript "Towards all-oxide magnetic tunnel junctions - Epitaxial growth of SrRuO3/CoFe2O4/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 trilayers" has been accepted for publication in Crystal Growth and Design. This work was conducted in collaboration with the University of Warwick. |
