Expérimental
Magneto-ionics is an emerging field that offers great potential for reducing power consumption in spintronics memory applications. By combining the concept of voltage controlled ionic motion from memristor technologies, typically used in neuromorphic applications, with spintronics, it provides a unique opportunity to create a new generation of neuromorphic functionalities based on spintronics devices. Our group has been at the forefront of investigating the magneto ionic control of magnetic anisotropy, magnetic domain wall motion, and the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction in various materials. We have demonstrated large, reversible, and non volatile effects in magnetic properties due to the chemical interaction between the mobile ions and the magnetic atoms. We are seeking a motivated candidate to join our team and work on an experimental research project focused on designing artificial synaptic functionalities through magneto ionic control of chiral magnetic structures This includes the gate control of nucleation/annihilation of skyrmionic spin structures, which will be used as a means to update synaptic weights in spintronics artificial synapses. The ultimate goal of the project will be to integrate the magneto-ionic synapses into artificial neural networks. The project will greatly benefit from our team's collective expertise in both magneto-ionics and neuromorphic computing architectures.
