Innovative fabrication method for flat magnetic nanostructures

Four step process: 1. Sputtering, 2. Patterned mask, 3. Implantation, 4. Removal of mask

“These flat magnetic nanostructures present promising potential for advanced applications, including in-material computation, that is that the material itself can function as a computer, processing and calculating solutions internally, making certain types of problem-solving faster and more efficient”, says Christina Vantaraki, PhD student at the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the developer of the method.

This new way of designing nano magnets was supported through resources at the Materials Physics Division of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, MyFab Uppsala, and the Tandem Laboratory and was achieved in four steps.

The conceptual image shows how the researchers’ sculpted pattern of tiny hills and valleys – smaller than one millionth of a hair’s thickness – on the substrate (MgO, at the bottom) guides how the atoms in the superconducting material (YBCO, on top) settle. At the interface between the two layers, an electronic landscape allows superconductivity to occur at higher temperatures than previously possible – even when high magnetic fields were are applied.
