<strong>Voltage Controlled Néel Vector Rotation in Zero Magnetic Field: The Holy Grail of Spintronics?</strong></p><p class="gmail-"><strong>About the Talk:</strong><br>
Dr. Binek will present his work on voltage-controlled rotation of the Néel vector in antiferromagnetic insulating materials. His research highlights a path toward ultra-fast, low-power spintronic devices that function in zero magnetic field and are compatible with CMOS technologies.</p><p class="gmail-"><strong>Speaker Bio:</strong><br>
Dr. Christian Binek is the Charles Bessey Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His research spans magnetic interface effects, spintronics, and thermal physics. He serves as Director of the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience and the NSF-funded Nebraska Nanoscale Facility. Among many honors, he has received the NSF CAREER Award and the Sigma Xi Outstanding Young Scientist Award. Dr. Binek has authored over 130 peer-reviewed publications and testified before Congress on innovation in nanotechnology.</p><p class="gmail-">
