Scientific project: Controlling magnetic properties through voltage-driven ionic motion opens exciting opportunities for next-generation spintronic technologies, including reconfigurable multistate memories and neuromorphic hardware. By combining ionic and magnetic degrees of freedom, magneto-ionic nanodevices offer new ways to emulate the adaptive behavior of biological synapses. Our group at C2N has demonstrated large, reversible, and non-volatile voltage-induced changes in the magnetic properties of spintronic nanodevices, as well as their potential to realize bioinspired synaptic functionalities. We are seeking a highly motivated master’s student to join our team for an experimental research project at the interface of magnetism, ionics, and neuromorphic computing. The project will investigate how magneto-ionic gating can control the dynamics of magnetic domain walls driven by current pulses in nanodevices. By exploring the interplay between ionics and spintronics, the student will develop and characterize new device functionalities for artificial synapses. The ultimate ambition is to combine an ensemble of devices to evaluate its performance for given learning tasks. The student will benefit from our team’s complementary expertise in magneto-ionics, neuromorphic computing architectures, and nanofabrication, while gaining hands-on experience in state of the art experimental research.
