Orbital Torque Scientist: Light Elements & Gate Control

ORBIS Doctoral Network; Albert; Sur place; EUR 19 000 - 23 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

ORBIS Doctoral Network at Laboratoire Albert Fert (Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS) is offering a PhD project focusing on orbital polarization and orbital torques in spintronic devices. The research aims to engineer metal stacks and explore low-energy writing using OT, with strong emphasis on fundamental physics and potential applications in ICT and quantum technologies.

The project will employ harmonic Hall, spin pumping, FMR linewidth analysis, and ultrafast THz-TDS, while incorporating

Qualifications

• Master 2 in condensed-matter physics (Experimental).

Responsabilités

• Optimize metal stacking to promote orbital polarization.
• Demonstrate enhanced efficiency or figures of merit of stacks.
