Webinar recap: revolutionising Memory with Nitrogen Magneto-Ionics

Webinar recap: revolutionising Memory with Nitrogen Magneto-Ionics

NICKEFFECT recently hosted a webinar, “Magneto-Ionics for Energy-Efficient Brain-Inspired Memory Devices,” on 16th July at 10:00 CET. This insightful session, presented by Jordi Sort, a NICKEFFECT project partner from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, explored the innovative field of nitrogen magneto-ionics and its transformative potential for energy-efficient memory and computing.

 

The presentation delved into how magneto-ionics, the control of magnetic properties through ion motion, offers a compelling solution for developing energy-efficient memory and computing systems. A key highlight was the unique advantages of nitrogen magneto-ionics in transition metal nitrides, which enables faster and more efficient magnetic switching at room temperature compared to traditional oxygen-based systems. The discussion also covered how nitrogen ion transport in thin films allows for precise tuning of magnetisation and coercivity, opening new avenues for in-memory computing, synaptic devices, and neuromorphic systems.

 

Attendees gained valuable insights into the remarkable planar, wave-like migration of nitrogen, an ideal characteristic for designing advanced multilayered memory architectures. The webinar further demonstrated how voltage-driven ionic movement in nanoscale structures, such as FeCoN disks, enables reversible transitions between distinct magnetic states, forming a versatile platform for programmable and brain-inspired memory.

 

This webinar was a must-attend for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in the forefront of materials science, nanotechnology, and advanced computing. Those who missed the live event can find the full recording on NICKEFFECT’s YouTube channel, where they can explore how the emerging nitrogen-based magneto-ionic paradigm is paving the way for low-power, adaptive hardware for next-generation artificial intelligence and neuromorphic electronics.
