Magnetism of carbon / 2D magnetic materials heterostructures

Graphene is a suitable atomically-thin 2D material to create proximity-induced effects when placed in heterostructures with materials as ferromagnets. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will focus on magnetic measurements of of ferromagnetic carbon-based and van der Waals materials using conventional magnetometry techniques and novel magnetotransport devices. The latter concerns micro-Hall graphene-based magnetic sensors manufactured at LPCNO, with very high sensitivities, superior to those of the latest semiconductor-based sensors. You will participate to the fabrication of such devices and on the measurement of intentionally defective carbon materials (graphene, carbon nanotube) and magnetic materials (2D ferromagnetic van der Waals, magnetic nanoparticle). Anomalous Hall effect measurements will also be used to detect magnetism directly in magnetic conducting 2D ferromagnets.
