Description
Spin-based electronics benefit from new 2D materials, known for their highly tunable properties and ability to host both conventional and exotic electronic phases. The TELEM group has developed an innovative platform to study magnetization dynamics and spin current injection from micrometer wide nanometer thick Cobalt. The proposed internship/PhD will extend this work by integrating diverse 2D materials, exploring transition metal dichalcogenides and topological insulators for improved spin-to-charge conversion, and investigating FeₙGeTe₂ magnets (n = 4–5) magnetic dynamics. The successful candidate will lead device design, fabrication (MPQ cleanroom), and full experimental characterization, mastering nanofabrication, precise measurements (DC to microwave), Python interfacing, and data analysis.
