Electrical Spin Manipulation in Atoms and Molecules

Objective

In the proposed project “Electrical Spin Manipulation in Atoms and Molecules” (SpinMan), the experienced researcher Dr. Andrea Droghetti (Trinity College Dublin , Ireland) and the scientist-in-charge Prof. Angel Rubio, Head of the Nano-Bio Spectroscopy group at the University of the Basque Country (Spain), aim at establishing how an electrical current can be utilized in order to write and read information in a spin state of an atom or a molecule. This study will be carried out through simulations performed with a computational platform, which will combine recent theoretical developments in density functional theory for open systems, many-body physics and time-dependent methods thus bridging the gap between complementary approaches to quantum transport. The results will represent an important step-forward in understanding the basic physics of magnetism and spin dynamics at the nano-scale as required in order to provide, in the long term, new concepts for classical and quantum information. The skills in many-body physics and time-dependent simulations that the researcher will develop during the project, combined with his background knowledge in magnetism and with the acquired experience in networking and management, will be essential in order to advance the researcher's career as independent investigator.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
