Spin+AFM/FM hybrids: Designing multifunctional AFM/FM hybrid systems with chiral interactions (B12*)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: from 2020 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 268565370

The project will explore functional spin phenomena of antiferromagnets and hybrid systems containing ferromagnets and antiferromagnets with chiral interactions. We will optimally exploit the stability and speed of antiferromagnets while leveraging the detectability and manipulability of ferromagnets going beyond the static effect of exchange bias. We anticipate finding novel chiral structures and new ways to access and manipulate them. We will do so by means of phenomenology, symmetry analysis and advanced numerical simulations.
