Spins in two-dimensional materials for tunable magnetic and optoelectronic devices
In order for modern information technology to continue progressing at a rapid pace we require smaller devices consuming less energy. Magnetic materials provide a promising route for nonvolatile memory devices. However, downscaling them is challenging, and information transfer between devices is hindered by short spin relaxation lengths, making it necessary to convert spin information into charge currents, leading to an increase in power dissipation. The aim of this ERC project is to exploit the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials to combine highly-efficient magnetic devices with optical communication. Specifically, I propose to seamlessly integrate the unique and highly efficient…
