Ultrafast spintronics with non-collinear and 2D antiferromagnets (B10)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 328545488

We investigate ultrafast spin dynamics in non-collinear(NC) and 2D antiferromagnetic(AF) materials, combining fundamental research with device innovation. Work package (WP) 1 investigates ultrafast demagnetization, magnon modes, and tunneling effects in NCAF systems and 2D AF insulators. WP2 focuses on integrating spintronic components to generate and detect sub-picosecond current pulses for probing spin dynamics in NCAF and 2D AF. Advanced material synthesis and characterization support both WPs.
