The aim of the OBELIX project is to advance the physics of orbitronics and launch a new technology based on the degree of freedom represented by electronic orbitals in materials.
Its objectives are to:
- Demonstrate that components based on orbitronics can outperform those based on spintronics;
- Demonstrate orbital transport in light-metal-based heterostructures;
- Study orbital transport in a wide variety of materials to accelerate the development of components based on this technology;
- Contribute to the dissemination of materials issues for microelectronics (scarcity, price, dependence, etc.)
The project is led by Marseille’s CINaM and includes 7 partners from 3 European countries.
