Magnetic Random Access Memory

Ongoing
The program on magnetic random-access memory develops metrology to determine how spin currents can be generated and used to control and manipulate magnetization

Nanoelectromagnetics

Ongoing
The core activities in this program are the development and application of metrology for quantitative characterization of hetero-structured materials and

Spintronics for Neuromorphic Computing

Ongoing
One promising new approach to next generation information processing is spintronics, where information is carried by electronic spin rather than charge. Among

Theory of Spin-Orbit Torque

Ongoing
The working of countless electronic devices involves electric and magnetic effects interacting within nanostructured materials. In the phenomenon known as spin
