SAF Domain-Wall Dynamics Research Intern

Imec; Vlaams-Brabant; On-site; EUR 12,000 - 17,000; Full time

Job summary

imec is hosting a Master or PhD internship focusing on the interplay between antiferromagnetic exchange coupling and the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) in synthetic antiferromagnets for domain-wall applications. The project centers on electrical characterization of DW-related phenomena using Hall-bar devices and SAF material stacks.

The internship will explore scaling effects in nanoscale devices, addressing fabrication-induced edge roughness and its impact on exchange coupling and DW

Qualifications

• Master or PhD internship in Materials Engineering or Physics.
• Strong interest in spintronics and nanoscale magnetic devices.
• Willingness to work with advanced nanofabrication and electrical measurement techniques.

Responsibilities

• Characterize DMI in SAFs through electrical measurements on Hall-bar devices.
• Correlate DMI with exchange coupling and magnetic properties of SAFs.
• Extend study to nanoscale Hall-bar devices to assess scaling effects.
• Assist in data analysis and interpretation to understand SAF-based DW devices.

Education
