The field of spintronics (spin electronics) promises lower energy, more robust data processing and storage, and a potential solution to the ‘thermal instability’ problem faced by Moore’s Law. As the research field has developed, different manifestations of spintronics have been demonstrated such as:

  • spin injection into organic materials
  • utilising proximity effects with superconductors (superconducting spintronics)
  • heat driven generation of a spin current (spin caloritronics)
  • topologically protected magnetic states (skyrmions).

This workshop will provide both:

  • an introduction to spintronics and skyrmions
  • an overview of the current state of the art

CHAIRS

  • Dr Kelly Morrison, Loughborough University
  • Dr Andrew Caruana, STFC
  • Ms Laura Stuffins, Loughborough University

VENUE

The seminar will be held in Room DAV1.01, the Sir David Davies Building, Loughborough University.

The venue can be found in the centre of Loughborough University, on University Road, as shown on this map.

DRESS CODE

The dress code for the event is business attire / smart casual.
