Spintronics with two-dimensional materials

Event Start:
2019-04-24T11:00:00
Event End:
2019-04-24T12:30:00
Event Information:

Exploitation of the intrinsic spin of an electron, spintronics, could facilitate the development of multifunctional and novel devices. With respect to the material selection, two-dimensional (2D) crystals and their van der Waals heterostructures could enable new spintronics functionalities that are not accessible in bulk materials [1].

Event Location:
Hennings 318
Speaker:
Ahmet Avsar

Dr Ahmet Avsar is an experimental condensed matter physicist specializing in the emerging fields of spintronics and two-dimensional crystals-based nanotechnology. Specifically, he studies the electron and spin transport in lithographically patterned mesoscopic devices. These devices utilize van der Waals bonded two-dimensional crystals such as graphene, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides and boron nitride. He obtained PhD degree from Physics Department of National University of Singapore and he is currently a research fellow at the Electrical Engineering Department of Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is a recipient of 2016- EPFL Fellows fellowship award co-fund by Marie Skladowska-Curie.
