Magnetic interfaces investigated at the atomic scale
In the quest for new materials, one can either explore the collections of a natural sciences museum in order to see what Nature offers, or synthetize them from our ideas …

Stanislas Rohart obtained the degree Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR, Accreditation to Direct Research) on October 4th 2021, after presenting his thesis entitled “Innovating Spin Textures for Spintronics“. The …
Suppressing precession in magnetic materials accelerates their dynamics
Magnetic precession – the rotation of the magnetisation around an applied torque — seems an unavoidable obstacle to faster magnetic devices. Now, researchers at the LPS have shown that magnetic …
On the art of collectively jumping universal barriers
A magnetic domain wall moving in a magnetic film, a droplet sliding on a rough surface, a fracture propagating in a brittle material or a half-cooked spaghetti moving on a …
Towards skyrmions in magnetic memories
Magnetic skyrmions may be the future information carriers in information technologies. We have identified a new sample structure which favors their stability and demonstrated how to control them with an …
