Magnetic Heterostructures

Magnetic heterostructures are structures formed by stacking layers of different magnetic materials, exhibiting unique magnetic properties. We will investigate physical phenomena such as magnetic exchange coupling, spin transport, and magnetic control within magnetic heterostructures. This includes studying phenomena like spin polarization, spin Hall effects, and exploring their applications in new types of spin electronic devices and information storage technologies. We will focus on the interface effects and spin transport properties within magnetic heterostructures.
