Description du sujet de thèse

The general goal of this project is to develop analytical and numerical methods to model the coupled spin-charge dynamics in magnetic heterostructures submitted to time-dependent perturbations.
Whereas most spin transport theories are focusing on quasistatic properties near equilibrium, the advent of THz spintronics is opening an entirely novel perspective
Indeed, the time scale of several key mechanisms that occur in magnetic heterostructures fall well within the THz regime. This is the case for instance of spin-orbit coupling, electron-phonon and electron-magnon interactions. Here, we will focus in particular on the description of spin-to-charge conversion processes induced either close to equilibrium (spin pumping) or far from equilibrium (ultrashort laser pulse).

Contexte de travail

The successful candidate (M/W) will join the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg, more specifically the Q-DYNO (Quantum DYnamics of Nano-Objects) team in the Department of Ultrafast Optics and Nanophotonics (DON). He/she will work under the supervision of the team manager. The candidate will be required to work in collaboration with various PEPR SPIN researchers, and to carry out missions in France and abroad.
