SUMMARY:Spintronics with 2D and Topological Materials: Outstanding Opp
 ortunities in van der Waals Heterostructures\, R. G. Herb Condensed Ma
 tter Seminar\, Yunqiu Kelly Luo\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Advances in quantum science and technology rely on ever-im
 proving control over quantum degrees of
\nfreedom including electron s
 pin\, photons\, and magnons\, which can store\, transmit\, and exchang
 e information. Understanding their mutual interactions\, propagation\,
  and non-equilibrium dynamics within solid-state systems is a crucial 
 challenge at the forefront of this effort. My research broadly investi
 gates the dynamics and effective couplings among these quantum degrees
  of freedom. Specifically\, my talk will center around two themes: 1. 
 developing multifunctional vdW heterostructures for spin-based quantum
  information processing\; 2. accelerating next-generation spin-orbit t
 orque MRAM based on 2D magnets and topological materials. Led by the d
 evelopment of optical-valleytronic spin injection\, ultrafast optical 
 scanning microscopy\, and Sagnac interferometry\, I will present our e
 xperimental efforts in harnessing the outstanding opportunities enable
 d by the pristine van der Waals interfaces of 2D materials with unpara
 lleled Kerr sensitivity\, temporal\, and spatial resolutions. Our work
  aims to bridge the urgent needs of the microelectronics industry by e
 nabling new forms of nonvolatile magnetic memory\, low-power computing
 \, optical interconnects\, and multifunctional hybrid materials with w
 idespread societal impact.
