Goal(s)
The course focuses on using the properties of magnetic materials to design new sustainable and energy-efficient nanoscale applications. The phenomena underlying spintronics are presented and illustrated by applications such as MRAM non-volatile memories, magnetoresistive field sensors or nanoscillators.
