2 PhD positions in Ultrafast optical control of topological magnetic textures

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Multiple European countries

Are you fascinated by controlling magnetic matter by femtosecond laser pulses, eager to explore the underlying physical mechanisms, and passionate to develop a generic tool to ‘print’ complex textures just by design? Join us as a PhD candidate on the ERC project “Topological Magnetism by Photonic Design” – TOP DESIGN! Information Topology is a fundamental concept with intriguing implications. Central in your project will be the skyrmion – a nanoscale, whirling magnetic texture. Skyrmions are topologically protected and act like particles; they can be created, moved and annihilated – ideal to store and carry information. Imagine being able to create and delete skyrmions on demand at any position. Imagine doing so for more complex textures, or, ultimately, creating synthetic lattices of skyr
