2Dimensional van der Waals Spin Orbit Torque Technology
Research project

2DSOTECH

Engineering new hybrid structures and electronic devices with atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials for applications in quantum and spintronic technologies.

The research within 2DSOTECH deals with atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials and aims at discovering new electronic phenomena and devices with a massive potential for more intelligent, faster and energy efficient computers in the future - contributing to a more sustainable society. 

2DSOTECH – 2Dimensional van der Waals Spin Orbit Torque Technology

Joint transnational European project 2DSOTECH is one of the ten new innovative projects that received funding through FLAG-ERA call by European Union (EU) member states. The FLAG-ERA fosters multi-disciplinary collaborations and establishes a strong link with the EU Graphene Flagship, which aims to secure a significant role for Europe in the ongoing technological revolution.

This 2DSOTECH project will engineer new hybrid structures and electronic devices with atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials. The electronic devices are proposed to consist of sandwiches of different layered quantum materials glued together by van der Waals interactions. Such new hybrid systems could offer new possibilities in observing correlated electronic phenomena at the interfaces and lead to applications in quantum and spintronic technologies. This research will contribute to discovering new electronic phenomena and devices and are expected to have a massive potential for future computers to be intelligent and faster with reduced energy consumption for a sustainable society.

Some of the project investigators are already part of the European Union Graphene Flagship project and will bring synergy effects by efficiently contributing to the Flagship objectives. This project will open opportunities to strongly collaborate with experimental and theoretical researchers in Europe with complementary expertise in understanding the fundamental science in novel 2D quantum material heterostructures and developing proof-of-concept devices for emerging memory and logic technologies.

The project is for three years (2022 - 2025), and the consortium includes six partners from the European Union.
