Innovative Spintronics Device Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab applies the properties of electron spin to elements for computers based on new principles.
AboutAbout the lab
Putting the workings of electron spin to use in new kinds of computing.
The Innovative Spintronics Device Lab studies how magnetization and electric current influence each other through electron spin.
The lab aims to apply the findings to computers that operate on new principles, such as brain-inspired computers and Ising machines.
It also works to improve the performance and functionality of spin Hall nano-oscillators, which use the spin Hall effect to make magnetization oscillate under a DC input and extract high-frequency signals.
The lab collaborates closely with the Applied Spintronics Laboratory at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
Key terms
- Spin
- A property of electrons that resembles a tiny magnet. Spintronics uses its direction as a carrier of information.
- Ising machine
- A computer based on a new principle that maps a problem onto the arrangement of the directions of many small magnets and searches for the optimal combination.
- Spin Hall effect
- A phenomenon in which, when current flows, electrons are deflected sideways depending on the direction of their spin. It is used as a force to move magnetization.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how magnetization and electric current interact through electron spin in spintronic devices. It pursues this research with the aim of applying the findings to computers based on new principles, such as brain-inspired computers and Ising machines.
