Our current ability to observe and control matter at the atomic and molecular scale (the nanoscale) will allow, in the next few decades, the design of new objects and the devel- opment of more efficient and less expensive manufacturing processes in a great variety of industry sectors. At CIC nanoGUNE Consolider, it is our mission to carry out world-class nanoscience research, thus contributing to the creation of the necessary conditions for the Basque Country (and the humanity, in general) to benefit from a wide range of nanotechnologies: confronting new scientific challenges through cooperation with other research and technological agents in the Basque Country and worldwide, building bridges that fill the gap between basic science and technology, as well as promoting high-level training and out- reach activities.

  • Phonon Dynamics in a Single Nanomagnet
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10545-x OPEN Strongly coupled magnon–phonon dynamics in a single nanomagnet Cassidy Berk 1, Mike Jaris1, Weigang Yang1, Scott Dhuey2, Stefano Cabrini2 & Holger Schmidt1 Polaritons are widely investigated quasiparticles with fundamental and technological sig- nificance due to their unique properties. They have been studied most extensively in semi- conductors when photons interact with various elementary excitations. However, other fi 1234567890():,; strongly coupled excitations demonstrate similar dynamics. Speci cally, when magnon and phonon modes are coupled, a hybridized magnon–phonon quasiparticle can form. Here, we report on the direct observation of coupled magnon–phonon dynamics within a single thin nickel nanomagnet. We develop an analytic description to model the dynamics in two dimensions, enabling us to isolate the parameters influencing the frequency splitting. Fur- thermore, we demonstrate tuning of the magnon–phonon interaction into the strong coupling regime via the orientation of the applied magnetic field. 1 School of Engineering, University of California Santa Cruz, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95064, USA. 2 Molecular Foundry, University of California Berkeley, 67 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.

  • Ringberg Meeting “Bounding the Aerosol Effective Radiative Forcing”
    Ringberg meeting “Bounding the aerosol effective radiative forcing” 26 February – 2 March 2018, Schloss Ringberg, Kreuth, Germany Goal: The aim1 is to exclude unlikely strong and weak aerosol forcings (e.g. provide arguments why the aerosol forcing cannot be more negative than -1.5 Wm-2, or why it cannot be positive). We aim for likelihood rather than certainty. Each participant is invited to submit a 1-page list of theses about likely/unlikely aerosol to the group ([email protected]) before the workshop. Concept: One presenter per session - prepares a limited number of theses that quantify or constrain forcings/mechanisms - all participants are invited to submit theses to the presentations - theses can (should) be corroborated briefly by explanations/graphics/references - presenters distribute the theses until late January so participants can prepare for the discussions At the meeting, one rapporteur per session - moderates the plenum discussions and - takes notes for the wrap-up discussions on Friday A large part of the discussions will be in breakout groups: - three breakout groups with 10-12 participants each; - distribution will be randomly selected and change each time, and - a rapporteur per breakout group per session will also be randomly appointed Location: Ringberg Castle (www.schloss-ringberg.de). Participants are expected to cover their own expenses (travel to Munich + 2 hr train from airport / 1 hr from railway station plus 126 € / night including all meals) and be in residence for the duration of the workshop. If financial restrictions might prevent you from coming please let us know and we will look for ways to help offset some or all of the costs.

  • Experimental Study of Nanomagnets for Magnetic Quantum
    EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF NANOMAGNETS FOR MAGNETIC QUANTUM- DOT CELLULAR AUTOMATA (MQCA) LOGIC APPLICATIONS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillments of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alexandra Imre, M.S. ______________________________ Wolfgang Porod, Director ______________________________ Gary H. Bernstein, Co-director Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering Notre Dame, Indiana April 2005 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF NANOMAGNETS FOR MAGNETIC QUANTUM- DOT CELLULAR AUTOMATA (MQCA) LOGIC APPLICATIONS Abstract By Alexandra Imre Nanomagnets that exhibit only two stable states of magnetization can represent digital bits. Magnetic random access memories store binary information in such nanomagnets, and currently, fabrication of dense arrays of nanomagnets is also under development for application in hard disk drives. The latter faces the challenge of avoiding magnetic dipole interactions between the individual elements in the arrays, which limits data storage density. On the contrary, these interactions are utilized in the magnetic quantum- dot cellular automata (MQCA) system, which is a network of closely-spaced, dipole- coupled, single-domain nanomagnets designed for digital computation. MQCA offers very low power dissipation together with high integration density of functional devices, as QCA implementations do in general. In addition, MQCA can operate over a wide temperature range from sub-Kelvin to the Curie temperature. Information propagation and inversion have previously been demonstrated in MQCA. In this dissertation, room temperature operation of the basic MQCA logic gate, i.e. the three-input majority gate, is demonstrated for the first time. Alexandra Imre The samples were fabricated on silicon wafers by using electron-beam lithography for patterning thermally evaporated ferromagnetic metals.
