PRIN 2022 M4C2 1.1-Patterning of Antiferromagnets for THz operation
- Venezia
- Tempo determinato
- Full time
b. To tune the dynamic properties and magnonic response of AFs by exploiting either tailored spin textures or magnonic crystals based on the modulation of the magnetic anisotropy or exchange interaction.
To achieve these challenging objectives, the team will work on three scientific workpackages:
1. Growth of AF films and characterization of their dynamic properties via THz pump - magneto-optical probe.
2. Patterning of spin textures in AFs via t-SPL exploiting nanoscale crystallization, thermal magneto-elastic effects and localized field cooling; development of a Scanning Thermal Gradient Microscopy at the nanoscale to characterize the patterns.
3. Stabilization of different domain walls and study their effect on the non-linear coupling of magnonic modes; realization of a periodic modulation of the magnetic anisotropy/exchange interaction to tune the magnonic dispersion of the AF; characterization of these system with THz pump-probe and imaging. By merging sub-10 nm resolution, AFs and THz characterization, this challenging project will open the path to the application of AFs for ultrafast, compact and energy efficient novel devices.
