Graphene Molecule Interfaces for Spintronics

Objective

The future of our society is intimately bounded to the development of smaller, faster and cheaper technologies, which can promote the ability to read, store and manipulate data. Spintronics addresses the issue by encoding information into the spin degree of freedom of electrons, in alternative or in addition to the charge. Currently, the progress of spintronics depends on the engineering of new advanced materials, which can promote the injection and transmission of the spin of electrons into the condensed matter. ARTEMIS will tackle the problem through the fabrication and study of graphene/molecule hybrid interfaces, taking advantage of both the exceptional physical properties of graphene and the additional degrees of freedom provided by molecular complexes. ARTEMIS focuses on the design of graphene/molecule interfaces in which a selection of molecules deposited on the graphene film will allow the spin scattering mechanisms of the material to be probed and manipulated as a consequence of charge transfer and magnetic coupling effects. The interfaces will be incorporated into spin valve devices realized with state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques, in order to characterize their properties as a function of external parameters, such as electric field, magnetic field, temperature and optical excitation. The data analysis will allow meaningful spin transport quantities, such as the spin relaxation time, spin relaxation length, spin-orbit-coupling strength and spin-to-voltage conversion ratio, to be extrapolated in order to determine the actual device performance and compare it to the behaviour of pristine graphene films. ARTEMIS will shine light on the spin transport mechanisms in graphene and test the benefits of adopting graphene/molecule interfaces as building blocks of competitive spin-based technologies. Finally, ARTEMIS will promote the career of a young female researcher with a hands-on training on a promising interdisciplinary field of physics.

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.
