Job Description
Missions
Within a team of researchers and PhD students, the candidate will contribute to the development and use of atomistic spin dynamics simulation tools. The overall project aims to investigate the transfer of angular momentum between conduction electrons and compensated magnets, by modelling current-induced torques as well as the ultrafast dynamics of magnetic systems. The project builds on the complementary expertise of SPINTEC and Institut Néel in the modelling of antiferromagnetic and altermagnetic spintronics, as well as on the leading role of University of York in the development of atomistic simulation tools.
Activity
- Development of new functionalities, including spin-transfer torque modules, spin-orbit torque modules, GNEB modules, etc., within VAMPIRE.
- Design of heterostructures and crystals, and adjustment of atomic interactions using the VAMPIRE software.
- Improvement and implementation of highly parallelized simulations on high-performance computing servers in a Unix environment: ARCHER2 in the United Kingdom and MeluXina CPU in Luxembourg - with access recently granted through UKRI and European funding programmes.
- Post-processing and visualization of data using available software tools and custom Python scripts.
- Analysis of static and spin-dynamics data, including the analysis of their topological properties using Python codes.
Your Profil
Skills
- Experience in numerical simulations, atomistic modelling, and programming.
- Excellent analytical skills, with a rigorous, organized, and proactive approach.
- Strong ability to work as part of a team and share knowledge.
- Knowledge of condensed matter physics and nanomagnetism would be an advantage.
- Good level of English.
Your Work Environment
Compensated skyrmions (CSk) are novel topological magnetic textures characterized by a net-zero magnetization, found in antiferromagnets (AF) and altermagnets (AM). They have attracted growing interest due to the richness of their spin physics and their potential as information carriers for future classical and quantum spintronic technologies. By recently overcoming the challenge of skyrmion nucleation in compensated magnets, we have opened the way to exploring previously inaccessible questions. One of these concerns the transfer of angular momentum between conduction electrons and CSk, as well as the resulting spin dynamics and the possible morphological deformations of these textures.
