Main steps of the experiment setup
September 2020
Installation of the double interferometer spectrometer by the company The Table Stable
February 2021
Installation of the electromagnet and optics to perform the Brillouin spectroscopy experiments of spin waves resolved in wave vector.
March – July 2021
Handling of the experiment with a M2 trainee, Sali Salama, currently in PhD thesis (SPiCY project LABEX NanoSaclay) since December 2021 in co-supervision between the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales (M. Anane) and the C2N lab (J.-P. Adam)
September 2021
Installation of the optics and the sample environment for the Brillouin microscopy experiments of spatially, time and phase resolved spin waves.
Main measurements made
March – July 2021
first Brillouin spectroscopy campaign on BiYIG samples (Sali Salama’s M2 internship)
October 2021 – February 2022
first Brillouin microscopy campaign on a sample composed of a CoFeB/Ru/CoFeB stack, for the ANR MAXSAW contract between C2N and SPEC of Paris-Saclay University, INSP of Sorbonne University and FEMTO-ST of Besançon University.
