Ciccarelli Group - Spin Physics and Devices
Welcome to our website! Our group is partially based at the Maxwell centre and partially at the Microelectronics building of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Our research focuses on the study of quantum spin-effects in magnetically ordered materials. We use a number of different techniques with a bandwidth that ranges from DC up to terahertz frequencies. Our experiments often involve the patterning of nanometre-scale devices and the use of low temperatures.
Currently, our projects include:
- Spin-orbitronics
- Superconducting spintronics
- Ultra-fast spintronics
- Coupling between magnons and microwave phonons
Our group is also closely connected with the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory with wich we have a number of joint patents and publicaitons.
