Ultrafast spin currents set antiferromagnets in motion
Researchers from the Service de Physique de l’État Condensé (SPEC – CEA), in collaboration with the Laboratoire Albert Fert (CNRS-Thales), the SPMS Laboratory (CentraleSupélec-CNRS), have demonstrated for the first time that an ultrafast spin current can efficiently transfer spin angular momentum into an insulating antiferromagnet (AF) and trigger its coherent terahertz magnetic excitations. This breakthrough…
Fundamental Research
The research carried out at the Institute is mainly fundamental in nature, but is also open to the creation of economic value and technology transfer.
