The University of Exeter invites applications for a PhD studentship exploring how light pulses can control magnetism in thin films. The project aims to switch magnetization by optical means, using multilayer structures to generate spin currents and manipulate FM layers.
Funded by EPSRC, the studentship provides a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7 and fees support. The work combines ultrafast laser excitation, spintronics, and materials science to advance magnetic data storage technologies.
