CONTRABASS (Ferroelectric control of Rashba states)

The CONTRABASS project gathers five partners with complementary expertise in metal spin-orbitronics, oxide spintronics and spin-resolved photoemission, with the aim to demonstrate the ferroelectric control of the charge-spin conversion in Rashba heterostructures, and to explore its potential for applications.
At the fundamental level, the ambition of CONTRABASS is to merge the fields of ferroelectricity and spin-orbitronics, and thus to reveal novel states of matter arising from the entanglement of several degrees of freedom (charge, spin, orbital and lattice).
