New Material Combination for Spintronics

Data transport with skyrmion lattices and organic molecules

Scientists from Hamburg and Jülich have made progress in the search for new solutions for faster and more energy-efficient processors and data storage. By coating organic molecules on a magnetic vortex structure, which is referred to as a skyrmion lattice, they succeeded in fabricating a hybrid compound with switching properties that can be adjusted selectively. The findings have been published in Nature Nanotechnology (DOI: 10.1038/NNANO.2014.235).
