Unconventional spin-wave transport explored by NV magnetometry

We have an open position at the Laboratoire Albert Fert in the field of “NV imaging of spin-wave dynamics in magnonics devices”. In recent years, NV based imaging techniques have been demonstrated to enable spin-wave imaging with spatial resolution down to 50 nm with excellent signal to noise ratio. The PhD/postdoc will focus on investigating unexplored spin-wave transport regimes, with a focus on the exploration of inhouse developed materials, and on exploring nonlinear magnonic processes triggered by microwave and spin-orbit torque excitations. The recruited person will be in charge of mastering and further developing spin-wave imaging techniques using the inhouse confocal and scanning NV microscopes. The project will be integrated in a collaborative research project, focusing on investigating classical and quantum magnon spintronic phenomena.
