Hybrid heterostructures for spintronics

Apr 1, 2022 | MPQ, TELEM

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

Mar 16, 2022 | MPQ, STM

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...
