Abstract
SINFONIA - "Selectively activated INFOrmation technology by hybrid Organic Interfaces" - is an interdisciplinary
research project that envisions a technology allowing to store and transport information on the nanometer length scale
and at operational frequencies in the THz regime. Such a technology will be realized through an optical manipulation
of hybrid molecular/antiferromagnetic interfaces, which will enable a selective activation of information emitters and
detectors. Such a selectivity will be ensured by the local nature of the hybridized electronic states that develops at the
interface between an antiferromagnet (AF) and a molecular system.
Obiettivi
The main objective of SINFONIA is to exploit the hybridized states created at such interfaces to couple an external optical stimulus to the propagation of magnetic perturbations (namely spin waves) in the AF layer. This way, SINFONIA proposes a completely new approach to information technology, based on hybrid organic/inorganic low-dimensional systems. Among the breakthroughs
offered by such a change of paradigm, there are: low power consumption (no electrical currents), high-frequency
responses (ensured by AF materials), tunability (ensured by molecular materials), scalability and miniaturization, on
account of the intrinsic low-dimensionality of our interface-based approach.
