Oxide based memristive devices: from RRAM memory to neuromorphic computing

Memristive systems represent today a disruptive technology for the semiconductor industry towards several applications such as data storage (non-volatile memories), non-...

Insight into the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition in GeTe thin films

The unique method of 57Fe emission Mössbauer spectroscopy (eMS), as performed at the large-scale facility of ISOLDE at CERN, was employed to reveal, at the most atomic-scale,...

...searching for a needle in the haystack!

Basically what we've done is to look for quite a tiny variation in the magnetic field direction of an iron ultra-thin layer in contact with a ferroelectric Hf-Zr-O "driver", by making use of our...

Fe/Sb2Te3 Interface Reconstruction through Mild Thermal Annealing

Topological insulators are in the focus for enhancing spin‐to‐charge conversions when in contact with ferromagnets, and to optimize the interface is demanding. In our paper published in Advanced...

ALD growth of ultra-thin Co layers on the topological insulator Sb2Te3
In our recent paper @NanoResearch (Springer Nature), we report about the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD) to grow Co thin films, with thickness from several tens down to few nanometers on top of...
Engineering Domain-Wall Motion in CoFeB/MgO Ultrathin Films with Perpendicular Anisotropy Using Patterned Substrates with Subnanometer Step Modulation

Controlling the motion of magnetic domain walls (DWs) in ultrathin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) has opened perspectives for mass-storage applications such as “racetrack...

New set-up to perform Transmission Moessbauer Spectroscopy installed at IMM Agrate Brianza

From October 2018, the CNR-IMM Unit of Agrate Brianza is equipped with a new set-up to perform Transmission Mössbauer Spectroscopy (TMS), which has been developed in the framework of CYBER-SORT, a...

Atomic layer deposition for MOEMS and MEMS applications

Due to the high conformality, excellent thickness control, availability of dense and pinhole free films of different materials at low deposition temperature and low cost, atomic layer deposition (...
