INSTITUTIONAL SEMINAR
Exploring the future of technology: stabilizing skyrmions
The Institute for Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT) held an institutional seminar on November 6 that immersed attendees in the fascinating world of skyrmions, spin textures with enormous potential in information technology. Under the title "Stabilization of skyrmions in Pt/Co/T nanodisks", the event took place, in hybrid mode, in the graduate classroom of the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and Surveying of UNNE at 2:00 p.m., broadcast simultaneously through Google Meet.
Scientific and technological linkage:
This seminar stood out as one of IMIT's actions aimed at scientific/technological linkage, since it was taught simultaneously for the in-person students of the School of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials organized by FAMAF-UNC.
At the center of innovation:
During the presentation, the nucleation and stabilization of skyrmions in magnetic nanodisks was explored, highlighting how their small size and topological stability make them ideal candidates to revolutionize low-energy memory devices. The results of the fabrication and characterization of Pt/Co/Ta nanodisks were presented, demonstrating the evolution of magnetic states and the stabilization of skyrmions at zero field. These findings, supported by micromagnetic simulations, highlight the impact of confinement on the stabilization of skyrmions, opening new perspectives in the research and development of innovative technologies.
Promoting knowledge:
These types of events promote knowledge and innovation in the field of nanoscience, consolidating IMIT as a cutting-edge space in technological research and development.
The seminar was led by Dr. Juliano Casagrande Denardin, a renowned expert in the field of magnetism and nanoscience. With an outstanding academic and research career, Dr. Denardin is a Full Professor at the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) and a Senior Researcher at the CEDENNA Nanotechnology Center. His experience and knowledge provided a deep and up-to-date view on the subject.
