PhD project: Interface coupling in ferroelectric/ferromagnetic/superconductor systems

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Multiple European countries

In this PhD project we will study how a ferroelectric (FE) layer exerts an influence on a ferromagnetic (FM) layer, which in turn is interfaced with a superconducting (SC) layer, ultimately leading to electric control of the superconducting layer. The main goal of this approach is that the ferromagnetic configuration can be altered by an electric field rather than a magnetic field, which requires much less electric power and which is much more adapted for miniaturization. However, the physical properties, magnetic configuration, chemical composition and roughness at the interfaces of such FE/FM/SC heterostructures are still largely unknown and require systematic investigations. The main research questions to be addressed are therefore the following: - What is the magnetic depth profile wit
