Invitation to the lecture: Materials for spintronics
The Department of Materials Chemistry of the Faculty of Chemistry invites you to a lecture by Mgr. Helena Reichlová, Ph.D. (Institute of Physics of the CAS, Prague), which will take place on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 12:00 in room P8 as part of the seminar "Advanced Materials".
Spintronics (spin electronics) is a rapidly developing field of physics that exploits the quantum properties of the electron - spin - to transmit, process and store information. Spintronics can contribute to solving problems in contemporary electronics - from energy efficiency to the development of new concepts in computing such as artificial intelligence.Some spintronic phenomena have already found practical applications, such as read heads in hard disks or so-called MRAM memories. However, in order to further exploit the potential of spintronics, it is necessary to continue basic research in this field and to further expand the range of materials available for various spintronic applications.
In this talk I will present spintronics in a popular way. I will also focus on spintronics in materials which, unlike the typically used ferromagnets, have no outward magnetic moment. I will explain why they can be useful, exactly what properties we expect from an ideal material, and how we study them experimentally.
Helena Reichlová is an experimental physicist in the field of solids and currently works at the Institute of Physics of the CAS and is a visiting researcher and lecturer at TU Dresden. She graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University and after defending her dissertation on antiferromagnetic spintronics she went to Germany with her family for a four-year postdoc.
