The event will be held on Thursday, 12th September 2024, from 12 PM to 1 PM (IST) in Room B-219. The seminar will feature Prof. Sachin Gupta, an Associate Professor from the Department of Physics at Bennett University, who will delve into the latest advancements in spintronic materials and their potential impact on future technologies. This seminar is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, and researchers to gain valuable knowledge and engage in discussions on cutting-edge developments in the field.

Abstract:
Spintronics is an emerging field in electronics, which utilizes spin degree of freedom of an electron in addition to its charge degree of freedom, offering numerous advantages such as nonvolatility, increased data processing speed, low power consumption, and high storage density [1]. The advancement of spintronics is closely intertwined with the development of functional material systems, crucial for designing proof-of-concept devices. Materials with topological properties, high spin polarization and Curie temperature can play pivotal roles in the advancement of spintronic devices. In this talk, I will delve into various spintronic materials - ranging from two-dimensional materials, thin films to bulk materials, discussing their electronic, magnetic, and transport properties, and elucidating their potential significance in spintronic applications [2-4].
