Giant magnetoresistance of (001) Fe/(001) Cr magnetic superlattices

MN Baibich, JM Broto, A Fert, FN Van Dau, F Petroff… - Physical review …, 1988 - APS
We have studied the magnetoresistance of (001) Fe/(001) Cr superlattices prepared by
molecularbeam epitaxy. A huge magnetoresistance is found in superlattices with thin Cr layers: …

Nobel Lecture: Origin, development, and future of spintronics

A Fert - Reviews of modern physics, 2008 - APS
Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently, charges and spins have been considered
separately. In conventional electronics, the charges are manipulated by electric fields …

Skyrmions on the track

A Fert, V Cros, J Sampaio - Nature nanotechnology, 2013 - nature.com
Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale spin configurations that hold promise as information
carriers in ultradense memory and logic devices owing to the extremely low spin-polarized …

Magnetic skyrmions: advances in physics and potential applications

A Fert, N Reyren, V Cros - Nature Reviews Materials, 2017 - nature.com
Magnetic skyrmions are small swirling topological defects in the magnetization texture. Their

crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts …

Dynamics of Dzyaloshinskii domain walls in ultrathin magnetic films

A Thiaville, S Rohart, É Jué, V Cros, A Fert - Europhysics Letters, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore a new type of domain wall structure in ultrathin films with perpendicular anisotropy,
that is influenced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction due to the adjacent layers. This …

Tunnel junctions with multiferroic barriers

…, J Fontcuberta, A Barthélémy, A Fert - Nature materials, 2007 - nature.com
Multiferroics are singular materials that can exhibit simultaneously electric and magnetic
orders. Some are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic and provide the opportunity to encode …
