  PhD: Manipulation of magnetic monopoles in spin ice

  Talence (Bordeaux), France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :Intuitively, matter is expected to order at low temperatures: water becomes ice and iron becomes ferromagnetic. But this intuition breaks down in a series of materials known as “spin liquids”, where a frustrated competition between spins prevents the system to order. Spin liquids open a window for exotic properties of matter that are not “hidden” anymore by long-range order. A growing number of such materials are regularly discovered, making this field extremely active, and supported by strong ties between [...]

  Postdoc: Exploring spin fluctuations in photosensitive molecules

  Saclay, France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :The task of the project is to study the structural and magnetic properties of coordination nanoparticles (CNPS’s) based on Prussian Blue analogues complexes, CsNiCr and CsCoFe, and core-shell type CNP’s. These novel systems open new possibilities for the design of molecule-based switchable objects where magnetism may be controlled or tuned by an external perturbation (light, temperature, field, etc.). The project aims at understanding the magnetic conformations of the nanoparticles and their eventual interactions. [...]

  Postdoc: Oxyborate compounds for new multifunctionnal materials

  Saclay, France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :The project steps outside the boundaries of the transition metal oxide compounds, mostly studied up to now, to investigate oxyborates with the ludwigite structure M3+(M2+)2O2BO3 (M is a transition element, divalent or trivalent). It associates mixed valence (di- and tri-valent ions) with a low dimensional network of transition metal atoms. The aim of the project is to characterize in details compounds belonging to this system, to identify new multiferroics/magnetoelectrics. Giant magnetoelectric effects have [...]

  PhD - Ultrafast magnetization dynamics: a phase-space approach

  Strasbourg, France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :The interaction of a femtosecond electromagnetic pulse with the electronic spins in a ferromagnetic nanostructure has been the object of intense investigations, both theoretical and experimental, over the past two decades. Experimentally, the main effect to be observed, although not yet fully elucidated, is the quick loss of magnetization following the excitation by the laser pulse. In order to tackle this complex problem, we have recently developed an original approach based on the phase-space representation of [...]

  PhD: Two-dimensional materials-based spintronic devices

  Grenoble, France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :The purpose of the PhD thesis is to implement, for the first time, high-quality sandwiched structures into lab-scale spintronic devices, consisting of nanometer-scale 2D materials-based magnetic tracks, in which spin-polarized electric currents will be injected to manipulate chiral domain walls and skyrmions.
