  Two ERC-funded PhD positions in Nanomagnetism

  Ghent, Belgium

  Yearly income : The fellowship amount is 100% of the net salary of an AAP3 m

  Description of the offer :We offer 2 fully funded 4-year PhD positions on the THERMAGINE ERC project. You will investigate how thermal fluctuations drive magnetization dynamics in nanoscale magnetic materials, and how these effects can be engineered in nanostructured magnetic multilayers. The project combines advanced NV-microscopy measurements on individual nanostructures with large-scale GPU-accelerated micromagnetic simulations.

  Electrical control of circular polarization in birefringent spin vertical [...]

  Nancy, France

  Yearly income : 27,600€ gross salary/year

  Description of the offer :Spin vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (spin-VCSELs) reveal unprecedented advantages of spintronics for applications beyond magnetoresistance and have the potential to form a new generation of optical communication systems [1,2]. Till now, the circular polarization is controlled by switching the magnetization thanks to an external magnetic field. For future applications, it is essential to get rid of any external magnetic field. A possible solution could be to switch electrically the magnetization via the [...]

  Femtosecond generation and propagation of spin currents in magnetic [...]

  Nancy, France

  Yearly income :

  Description of the offer :When a magnetic multilayer absorbs a strong femtosecond laser pulse, it triggers both ultrafast demagnetization and the generation of hot electrons. These processes can produce a spin current capable of manipulating magnetic states—such as reversing layer magnetization or driving magnetic textures like domain walls [1,2]. While our recent experiments have successfully demonstrated magnetization reversal via such spin currents [3–5], the underlying mechanisms—including ultrafast demagnetization, spin-dependent [...]
