Poland: PhD Positions in Spin Transfer and Relaxation in Magnetic Nanostructures, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences Poland

PhD Positions in Spin Transfer and Relaxation in Magnetic Nanostructures, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland
PhD position - theoretical project on Spin transfer and relaxation in magnetic nanostructures (project A6) at Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw, Poland) in collaboration with Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (London, UK) and Open University (Milton Keynes, UK)

Project duration: 4 years
The student will be based in Warsaw and supervised by Dr. Marek Cinal (IPC PAS), He/she will visit and collaborate with Prof. David M. Edwards (Imperial College) and Dr. Andrey Umerski (Open University)
for 12 months (in total) during the project.
Monthly scholarship is 3000 PLN + 500 PLN insurance in Poland and 4500 PLN + 500 PLN insurance during visits to foreign partners
The aim of the proposed study is a quantum-mechanical description of processes that determine the dynamics of magnetization in ferromagnetic metallic nanowires and ultrathin films. The research will be focused on magnetic relaxation (via Gilbert damping and other relevant mechanisms) and its relation to
spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and on spin-transfer torque due to an electric current carried by the system. The systems investigated will include iron and permalloy flat nanowires as well as Fe and Co thin films, both types of systems being unsupported or located on a substrate with large SOC, like Pd and Pt. The obtained results will be compared with experimental data on nanowire domain-wall velocities. This work is applicable to a wide variety of potential spintronic devices - such as MRAM, magnetic domain racetrack memories and logic devices - and the results of the calculations should aid the design of systems with parameters which optimize their performance.
