The Magnetism and Spin-Orbitronics Group

Understanding and controlling the static and dynamic properties of magnetic systems requires expertise across condensed matter physics, materials science, and nanotechnology. Building on such a multidisciplinary approach, our group focuses on two major research areas:(i) magnetic properties of thin films and emerging quantum materials, and (ii) spin and orbital torque phenomena, including current-induced magnetization dynamics.

Our investigations span ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, and antiferromagnetic systems, as well as two-dimensional materials and magnetic insulators, to uncover their potential for next-generation spintronic applications. By combining studies of fundamental spin-orbital interactions with the design of device-relevant heterostructures, we aim to advance technologies for ultrafast and energy-efficient memory and logic devices.

Led by Dr. Shilei Ding, our group employs both established and innovative experimental techniques to probe magnetization dynamics and magnon excitations in complex magnetic system.
