Laboratory Days 2022
On the Normandy coast, at the foot of the dunes of Merville Franceville, the MPQ laboratory days took place from Monday, May 30th to Wednesday, June 1st, 2022. The MPQ days, organized by Sandrine, Adrien, Zakari, and Nathalie, were a wonderful moment of camaraderie...
Hybrid heterostructures for spintronics
Spintronics is a quantum technology that aims to add the quantum spin degree of freedom to conventional CMOS electronics. Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1988 by Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg, considered the birth of this field, spintronics has...
Addressing a molecule with a unique spin transition in a 2D lattice
Spin-transition molecules exhibiting bistability are particularly interesting for the development of innovative electronic and spintronic devices, as they exhibit two spin states that can be controlled by external stimuli. Figure:a) Diagram of voltage pulse...
