IMDEA Nanociencia

IMDEA Nanociencia, the Institute of Advanced Studies in Nanoscience, is a private non profit foundation created by initiative of the Regional Government of the Community of Madrid in order to shorten the distance between the research and society in the Madrid region and provide new capacity for research, technological development and innovation in the field of nanoscience, nanotechnology and molecular design.

Spin-Orbitronics Group at IMDEA Nanociencia

The SpinOrbitronics Group focuses the interests on solid-state physics and material science of low dimensional magnetic materials, covering epitaxial growth, surface/interface and magnetotransport characterization, nanofabrication.

The IMDEA Nanociencia group assembled an extensive experience with:

• Production of high quality thin films by resorting to different UHV deposition techniques (MBE, sputtering, CVD).

• In-situ characterization, including XPS/UPS spectroscopies, MOKE,

• Ex-situ characterization MROKE, XAS, and element-resolved magnetometries including XMCD, magnetic
scattering and magnetic holography,

• Nanofabrication techniques and magneto-transport characterizations.

The group will be in charge of the growth of the SOgraphMEM prototypes, and of their in-situ and ex-situ (magnetic and transport) characterizations. It will be also involved in the simulation activities, in the surface science characterizations; X-ray based experiments, and finally in the fabrication and test of the prototype devices.
IMDEA Nanociencia will be in charge of the Administrative and Scientific Coordination of the Project.
