Overview
Antiferromagnetic materials could represent the future of spintronics
thanks to the interesting features they combine: they are robust
against perturbation due to magnetic fields, produce no stray fields,
display ultrafast dynamics and generate large magneto-transport effects.
In this team, research efforts are being invested in unraveling
spin-dependent transport specifities of antiferromagnets.
Antiferromagnetic spintronics is an emerging research field whose focus is on
the electrical and optical control of the antiferromagnetic order parameter and
its utility in information technology devices. An example of recently
discovered new concepts is the N\'{e}el spin-orbit torque which allows for the
antiferromagnetic order parameter to be controlled by an electrical current in
common microelectronic circuits...

Antiferromagnetic spintronics is a new rapidly developing field whose
focus is the manipulation of antiferromagnets with electrical current.
Antiferromagnets are promising materials for spintronic applications as
they are fast, nonvolatile, and robust with respect to external fields.
They can be manipulated by spin and charge currents. Their complex
structures, strong magnetoelastic coupling, and compatibility with
technologically important semiconductors make antiferromagnets
interesting materials and open a way for new functionalities in
comparison with ferromagnetic materials.
