Non-linear electronic transport with 2D magnetic materials

NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence. The Nanodevices group, co-led by Prof. Luis E. Hueso and Prof. Fèlix Casanova, is currently composed of 30 members including senior and junior researchers. It has extensive research facilities for fabrication and characterization of devices and several active research lines spanning from nanofabrication to 2D electronics and spin transport. More information can be found at http://nanodevices.nanogune.eu The research topic encompasses the interplay between electron and spin transport in 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures. In particular, we will explore the optimal reading of magnetic information via non-linear effects. The project also foresees the integration of optimal working materials into functional nanodevices. The research to be performed will require the exfoliation and stacking of 2D materials into van der Waals heterostructures, the nanofabrication of devices (thin film deposition, electron-beam lithography, etching), and magnetotransport measurements (under high magnetic fields and low temperatures).
