Project period: 2026-2032
Electrical control of magnetism and exotic magnetic phases promises revolutionary devices like spintronics, sustainably reducing the energy footprint through dissipationless spin transport. This project aims to deterministically manipulate the magnetic state in atomically thin materials by designing innovative devices and engineering interfaces. This breakthrough, previously unattainable, opens new horizons in magnetism, the oldest known quantum state. By combining electrical and optical measurements, we will probe and identify novel states, venturing into uncharted territories and unlocking the future of quantum technology.
More information about the project
We will explore the magnetic properties of our custom-made artificial structures using quantum transport, magneto-optical spectroscopy, and quantum optics. By embedding magnetic 2D materials into innovative device architectures, we will manipulate their properties through field-effect techniques and by creating hybrid materials that tune magnetism or photons via interfacial effects.
The project 'Controlling Quantum Phases in Magnetic van der Waals Heterostructures' is supported with a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation grant number NNF25OC0103142. Part of the program RECRUIT - Grants for International Recruitment 2025.
