ULTIMATE 1 (Ultra Thin Magneto Thermal Sensoring)
The development of new magnetic and thermal sensors shares basic principles in the spintronics related to spin Hall effect / inverse spin Hall effect (SHE/ISHE) and the spin to charge conversion science.
Through ULTIMATE, we propose to work with suitable hybrid nanostructures to improve further these effects. By studying hybrid nanostructured materials in which the mentioned properties are better performed, we pave the way to improve the Spin Hall magnetoresistance-based magnetic sensor and spin Seebeck effect-based temperature sensor.
The strategy is performed in two steps:
- From basic knowledge searching new and better materials to perform spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and spin Seebeck effect (SSE); and careful study of interfaces and nanostructuration that inherently could alter the magnetism and the spin transport, since magnetism is based on strong short-range correlation between electronic spin and orbital degrees of freedom
- From development and application at first approximation of new materials to new designs of SSE temperature- and SMR magnetic- sensor.
The ULTIMATE project involves 16 partners in Europe and abroad, in the framework of the H2020 MSCA RISE programme.
It aims at strengthening the collaboration and connections between America (North and South) and Europe and training researchers, post-docs, PhD students and technicians, by interchanging knowledge, gaining new capacities of know-how and finally to strengthen .
The planned networking activities include the co-supervision of PhD Students between Universities in Spain-France and Chile-Argentina-Peru.
