Writing in Nature Nanotechnology, B. Huang et al. and S. Jiang et al. report the use of electrostatic gating to change not only the direction but the type of magnetic order in CrI3.
Operando Imaging of Spin Textures
The control of the electron spin by external means is a key issue for spintronic devices. We demonstrate for the first time operando electrostatic spin manipulation due to ferroelectric polarization reversal in ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors α-GeTe and multiferroic Ge1−xMnxTe. Operando Imaging of All-Electric Spin Texture Manipulation in Ferroelectric and Multiferroic Rashba Semiconductors, J. Krempaský, S. Muff, J. Minár, N. Pilet, M. Fanciulli, A. P. Weber, E. B.…
Summer School on Collective Behaviour in Quantum Matter
Dear Colleague, We are organizing a three-week Summer School on Collective Behaviour in Quantum Matter at ICTP in Trieste (27 August – 14 September 2018), and we would be glad if you could forward this message to potential participants in your group. The online application form is at http://indico.ictp.it/event/8331/ . Deadline for application was 9 April (requesting financial support), or 14 May (otherwise). We will…
Searching for materials with reduced dimension
High-throughput electronic structure calculations, together with structural data-mining algorithms, allow the identification of new two-dimensional materials.
