Nominator's project description
| Albert Fert is - together with Peter Grünberg - the 2007 Nobel laureate in Physics for the discovery of the giant magnetoresistance. This discovery has opened the rapidly growing research field of spintronics and has had an immense impact on information technology. Professor Fert continues to stimulate the field of spintronics with seminal contributions on oxide spintronics, the generation of spin currents and magnetic skyrmions. His contributions cover cutting-edge experiments combined with the development of basic phenomenological models. His Humboldt research project is dedicated to these issues. |
