OVERVIEW

In our interdisciplinary Sinergia project 171003 funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) we synthesize novel magnetic materials which host noncollinear spin structures. Combining state-of-the-art computational methods and experimental techniques their structural, chemical, electric and magnetic properties are explored from the macro- down to the nanoscale covering a frequency regime from DC to THz. Our collaborative research is performed at EPFL, Paul Scherrer Institute and University of Basel. We aim at functionalizing spin structures such as spirals, cycloids or skyrmions, thereby advancing information technology and creating nanoscale microwave electronics.
