A research team at NTUâs School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and School of Materials Science and Engineering, led by Associate Professor Gao Weibo, together with colleagues from the Singapore University of Technology and Design, has won substantial funding from Singaporeâs National Research Foundation to develop high-performance spintronics devices.
The five-year programme, called âThe next generation of spintronics with 2D heterostructuresâ, aims to develop spintronics devices based on next-generation van der Waals materials, which are strongly bonded two-dimensional (2D) layers of materials that are bound in the third dimension through weaker van der Waals forces.
âWe are studying the fundamental physics behind van der Waals-spintronics devices to develop a new generation of highly efficient, low-power and low-cost electronics with great economic potential,â says Associate Professor Gao.
