Objective
Quantum nanomaterials are highly relevant for today’s society, playing a key role in existing technologies, and promising revolutionary changes addressing global issues, with the possibility for new computing architectures, and highly efficient devices.
Until now, most studies of quantum nanomaterials have been two dimensional. Extending to three dimensions results in opportunities for increased density and interconnectivity, with the possibility to go beyond the physics of planar systems. This has recently been exemplified by nanomagnetism, where advances in methodologies have driven breakthroughs in our physical understanding, leading to the discovery of exotic spin textures, non-reciprocal dynamics and curvature-induced effects. However, the extension of a wider range of quantum nanomaterials to 3D geometries faces experimental challenges.
In this ERC project I propose to explore the physics of quantum nanomaterials in three dimensions, developing state-of-the-art experimental techniques, establishing a common experimental methodology, to study the fundamental physics of 3D quantum nanomaterials.
This project will address three scientific cases. First, I will develop 3D antiferromagnetic imaging to explore the formation of topological textures in antiferromagnets, and their current-induced dynamics. Second, I will measure the dynamics of 3D nanomagnets, realising non-reciprocal domain wall motion and spin waves in a low-symmetry 3D geometry. Third, I will harness new nanofabrication capabilities to explore the physics of 3D superconducting nanocircuits, achieving local control of the state, as well as exploring the behaviour of superconducting vortices.
This project will lead to advances both in experimental capabilities, and in our understanding of the influence of 3D nanogeometries on the physics of quantum materials. The project will facilitate a change of paradigm for quantum nanomaterials, impacting both fundamental research and technological applications.
