Post-doctoral position in spin-orbit and orbital torques

The missions of the post-doc candidate will be to define and develop multilayers integrating magnetic materials and light metals for magnetic torque engineering. An important objective will be to optimize magnetic torques on structures such as spintronic tunnel sensor electrodes. The strategy will be to engineer the local electrical conductivity in order to exploit new potential sources of spin-orbit (SO) torques within the ferromagnetic material. The postdoc recruited will have to qualify and quantify the various components of SO couples by f-2f second harmonic measurements (or possibly STT-FMR) and/or by measuring critical magnetization reversal currents in well-identified structures and stacks.
