Characterization of Advanced Magnetic Materials for Spintronics by means of Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy and Spectroscopy

Objective

This proposal links the postdoctoral stay of the candidate (coordinator) with the Scanning Probe Methods Group leaded by Prof. Roland Wiesendanger. This research group is hosted by the Institute of Applied Physics of the University of Hamburg (Germany).
The group is part of the Microstructure Advanced Research Center Hamburg (MARCH) and is involved in the coordination of the German Center of Competence in Nano-Scale Analysis. Their scientific record in the field of nanometer-scale science and technology based on scanning probe methods (SPM) places the host organization in a world leading role in nanoscience. The current field of activity of the candidate is the spin-dependent transport in half-metals and several other magnetic nanostructures. Getting experience in low temperature SPM measurements is among his personal preferences, as well as one of the milestones of the newly created Institute of Nanoscience at his home University. The candidate and apos;s scientific background fits perfectly the profile of a post-doctoral fellow in the above mentioned research group. Such stay will not only provide a significant improvement of the scientific and technical skills of the candidate, but it will also conduct our interest in a possible collaborative research work on the frame of Spain-Germany integrated actions. We would like to express our interest in three possible research areas: -Measurements of the spin polarization of conduction electrons in magnetic materials by means of scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). -Determination of the magnetic and electronic properties in native iron oxides surfaces. -Layer by layer study of ferromagnetic films growth on top of semiconducting substrates. -Study of persistent spin polarized currents in semiconducting collectors of spin injection devices.
