The emerging field of spin-orbitronics utilizes the relativistic spin-orbit interactions and is opening fascinating new directions for basic research and exciting potential applications in spintronics.
Low-dimensional materials provide a fertile ground for generating interesting spin-orbit phenomena and are also ideal for incorporation in devices. The presentations will span the range from basic features to the forefront results in the field and are targeting final-year graduate students and early-career researchers in general. The talks will include the speakers'views of the current trends, challenges and future directions in their fields and will be followed by discussion sessions.
Topics:
- Properties and potential of 2D materials for spin-orbitronics
- Skyrmions and exotic magnetism
- Spin-orbit torque
Speakers:
S. BLUGEL, Forschungszentrum Julich, Germany
J. FABIAN, University of Regensburg, Germany
P. GAMBARDELLA, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
B. NIKOLIC, University of Delaware, USA
S. PICOZZI, CNR-SPIN Chieti, Italy
