The large magnetometers currently used onboard satellites for space exploration cannot be installed in the tiny nanosatellites (cubesat) that are envisioned for multipoint measurements. As a first step towards the realization of a miniature space magnetometer, Spintec has demonstrated a strong amplification of the sensitivity of a magnetic field sensor on chip. The current magnetometers […]

On Friday October 13th 2023, we have the pleasure to welcome in SPINTEC Diana C Leitao (Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands) and Shunsuke Fukami (Tohoku University, Japan). They will give us two seminars on magnetoresistive sensors and magnetic tunnel junctions from 10:00 to 12:00. Place : IRIG/SPINTEC, auditorium 445 CEA Building 10.05 (access to […]

Position: Skyrmions are circular magnetic domains of (sub-)micron size with increasing interest to the scientific community, considering to use them for information encoding. The aim of this thesis is to exploit the potential of skyrmions in a new way: developing a magnetic field sensor. Indeed, the response of skyrmions to the magnetic field perpendicular to […]

MAROT stands for Low noise MAgnetometeR based On Tunnel junctions. It is a 42-months long ANR project (ANR-22-CE42-0020). The current boom in nanosatellites, which are revolutionizing space exploration, calls for the development of suitable miniature instruments. In particular, the extremely high-performance magnetometers used to date on-board satellite, such as search-coils or flux-gates, are heavy and […]
