Excited to be invited for a research visit at the Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology (QCN) during 26th of July to 5th of August 2016. I will be giving a talk at the QCN seminar series on “Room temperature chiral skyrmions and skyrmion dynamics and inertia“.
MAGicSky Aachen meeting July 18-19 2016
We are happy to participate at the MAGicSky progress meeting in Aachen, July 18-19 2016. We demonstrated the latest X-ray imaging of magnetic skyrmion processes from the joint effort of PSI / Manchester and CNRS/Thales, while the results and plans for the next 6 months from all the partners were presented.
SOCSIS 2016 – Spetses, Greece
The “Spin Orbit Coupling and Topology in Low Dimensions ” Workshop is well on its way with lots of interesting results and discussions on Skyrmions and Spin Orbit Coupling induced effects. Attendants of the SOCSIS 2016 workshop in a social and networking event after the day’s talks on Wednesday 29/06/2016.
The workshop focuses on SOC-induced effects in the various systems: Rashba interfaces, topological insulators, interface between oxides, graphene with enhanced SOC and other 2D materials, magnetic ultra-thin films with interface-induced chiral spin interactions as well as skyrmions and chiral domain walls in particular. We are delighted to be presenting a talk on “Room temperature magnetic skyrmions and skyrmion dynamics in nanostructures”. The workshop is taking place at the wonderful Anargyreios and Korgialeneios School of Spetses (A.K.S.S.) Foundation and it is organised by QCN (The Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology).
Spin Orbit Coupling and Topology in Low Dimensions
We are excited about being invited to participate in the think-tank discussions on the role of spin orbit coupling (SOC) in low dimensions with a focus on routes towards technological applications at the SOCSIS 2016 EU workshop, 26 of June – 02 July, Spetses, Greece. We are also delighted to present a talk on “Room temperature magnetic skyrmions and skyrmion dynamics in nanostructures”. The workshop will focus on SOC-induced effects in the various systems: Rashba interfaces, topological insulators, interface between oxides, graphene with enhanced SOC and other 2D materials, magnetic ultra-thin films with interface-induced chiral spin interactions as well as skyrmions and chiral domain walls in particular. The workshop will take place at the Anargyreios and Korgialeneios School of Spetses (A.K.S.S.) Foundation and it is organised by QCN (The Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology).
Nanoscale Room Temperature Chiral Skyrmions
Excited to see our nanoscale room temperature (R.T.) sub-100nm chiral skyrmions now available in print in the May 2016 issue at Nature Nanotechnology: Nat. Nanotech. 11, 444–448 (2016). The paper describes the discovery of room temperature individual nanoscale chiral skyrmions by means of high resolution X-ray imaging. This observation can serve as a basis for the development of skyrmion-based memory and logic devices and enable further fundamental studies on the very rich physics of skyrmions.
Energy Materials Nanotechnology meeting
We are delighted to be invited to present at the Spin Orbitronics symposium at the EMN meeting in Dubrovnik, Croatia May 4-6, 2016! The title of the talk is “Room temperature chiral skyrmions and skyrmion bubble dynamics in nanostructures”.
Welcome to our Website!
The Skyrmionics/NanoΣky team is part of the NEST research group at the University of Manchester. Our main scientific interests lie in the intersection of magnetism and topology. We focus on the physics of skyrmions and their technological applications (“skyrmionics”), spin-orbitronics and spintronics. You can find information here on our exciting research, publications, collaborations and outreach as well as the latest news of what we are up to.
