3D MAGIC

The 3D MAGiC project aims at understanding the behavior and controlling of some of the least explored and most puzzling objects in nanomagnetism: three dimensional magnetic solitons... This is a result of their deep-sub-micron size and a current lack of suitable characterization techniques. We bring together four complementary research groups with expertise in theoretical descriptions of magnetism, device physics and magnetic characterization with high spatial and temporal resolution. Methodological breakthroughs by the partners will enable new fundamental theoretical and experimental insights into the nucleation, stability, dynamics and transport of 3D MSs, which are predicted to be influenced strongly by their nontrivial topology. Particular attention will be paid to the manner in which 3D MSs can be controlled and manipulated dynamically... Enabled by an erc synergy grant funded by the European Commission.
