Spintronic Quantum Material Laboratory (SQML) aims to realize energy and time-efficient hardware using quantum materials for physical and quantum intelligence. Currently, we are focusing on novel electronic and spintronic materials and structures for memory, neuromorphic and quantum computing applications.
Here are a few keywords describing our research topics:
- spin-orbit torque
- topological insulator
- spin-charge interconversion
- skyrmion in ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic multilayers
- MRAM (STT/SOT/VCMA)
- spin Hall effect
- magnetic proximity effect
- in-memory computing
- quantum computing
- neuromorphic computing
- compact model
- circuit design
- device-system co-optimization (DSCO)
The techniques that we use frequently are the following:
- second harmonic method
- spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance
- Differential Kerr method
- Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy
- X-ray magnetic circular dichroism
- Polarized neutron reflectometry
- magnetron sputtering
- pulsed laser deposition
- micromagnetic simulation
- physical device modeling
- circuit design
- system design and prototyping
- device-system co-optimization (DSCO)
