EPSRC International Network for Spintronics

The broad aim of this network is to demonstrate new spintronic logic concepts with low-energy consumption by developing new magnetic materials, designing new logic circuits and characterising them for yield improvement.

The Network for Spintronics is based on collaborations between the Universities of York, Manchester and Leeds in the UK with Tohoku University in Japan specialised in material development and device production, RPTU in Kaiserslautern in Germany focused on magneto-optical phenomena and magnonic logics, and Spintec in France dedicated to spintronic device production and evaluation.

This project will be carried out under the close collaboration with Professors Tom Thomson at the Nano Engineering & Storage Technologies Research Group, School of Computer Science, University of Manchester, Chris Marrows at the Condensed Matter Group, E. C. Stoner Laboratory, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leeds, Hideo Ohno at the Laboratory for Electronic Intelligent Systems, Research Institute of Electrical Communications, Tohoku University, Burkard Hillebrands at the Magnetism Group, Department of Physics, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern and Bernard Dieny at the Spintec.
