LMSC - EPFL

Hello September!
We started the month having the first part of the retreat in Bois-Genoud. We had a full day of discussions and delicious gourmet food. Then, we had the second part of the retreat, well-being, in Parc du Pelican. Thanks to Carolyn Brown, we learned how to avoid lower back pain, which is followed by lunch nearby the lake.
Hope September is treating you well :)

We are happy to share our new publication on Co-Zn-Mg thin films grown by vdW epitaxy on graphene. These materials are known to host topologically protected skyrmions at room temperature. By tuning the growth conditions, we engineered their structural properties. For further information please check out this link👇

van der Waals Epitaxy of Co10–xZn10–yMnx+y Thin Films: Chemical Composition Engineering and Magnetic Properties Topologically protected magnetic skyrmions have raised interest for future spintronics applications. One of the main challenges is the synthesis of room temperature skyrmion-hosting materials that are compatible with thin-film technology. We present an approach to produce strain-free epitaxial thin....
