Research Interests
Manchon’s research focuses on spintronics, which aims at utilizing the quantum spin degree of freedom of the carrier to generate disruptive solutions for electronics. His research interest spans from spin-orbit coupled transport and topological matter to chiral magnetism, antiferromagnets, and ultrafast spin dynamics.
Manchon has engaged in a number of collaborations with both experimentalists and theorists in his field around the world, including researchers at the National University of Singapore, CEA/CNRS Grenoble in France, University of Mainz, UT Austin, U. Of Minnesota etc. He has authored about 100 publications (h-index=26, #citations>3500) in esteemed journals including Nature, Nature Materials, Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters, Nano Letters, Physical Review B, and Applied Physics Letters.
