Prof. Patrick Maletinsky will study atomically thin magnetic systems, with the help of novel quantum sensors.The so-called Van der Waals magnets have only recently been discovered, but already constitute a very active field of research. The quantum sensors developed in Basel, which will be used in this project, form a central pillar of the emerging field of quantum technologies and will allow new insights into Van der Waals materials. The aim is to bring the atomically thin magnets closer to possible applications in spintronics.
