Control and local measurements of the spin chemical potential in a magnetic insulator Dr. Chunhui Du Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Physics, Harvard University This lecture has been generously funded through The IBM Corporate Lecture Series, created to foster women's inclusion in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In recent decades, a large scientific effort has focused on harnessing spin transport for providing insights into novel materials and low-dissipation information processing. We introduce single spin magnetometry based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as a new and generic platform to locally probe spin chemical potentials which essentially determine the flow of spin...

Spin dynamics of topological spin textures in chiral magnets Dr. Emrah Turgut Postdoctoral Associate, Applied and Engineering Physics Cornell University The chiral spin textures are a consequence of the anti-symmetric exchange interaction, which presents in the material systems with broken inversion symmetry, such as B20 FeGe. This interaction enables chiral magnetic order, including topologically non-trivial magnetic skyrmions, which display rich new magnetic phenomena and require low critical current densities to manipulate.  This makes magnetic skyrmions a promising platform for power-efficient spintronics applications. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the static and dynamic magnetic properties of these materials will be a key step...

Protein drugs can provide a key advantage over small molecule drugs; they evolved to perform their function, while small molecules are often selected for “best” function compared to a pool of candidates. However, proteins can present challenges in delivery that must be overcome in order to be used…
