Projet ORBIS (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Physics
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Orbitronics, an emerging field that focuses on the study and manipulation of the electron's orbital angular momentum (OAM), provides a challenging and innovative framework to train doctoral candidates (DCs) with excellent career prospects in academia, industry and beyond. In this promising area, ORBIS proposes a multidisciplinary network composed of 12 universities, 4 research centres and 8 companies, which will provide DCs with state-of-the-art training combining fundamental and applied Orbitronics. The overarching scientific and technological goal of ORBIS is to understand the mechanisms behind orbital effects, to find emerging materials enabling efficient generation, transport and control of OAM, and to build devices based on these phenomena, including enhanced THz emitters, magnetic random-access memory and beyond-CMOS logic. These orbital-based technologies will be cheap, low power, scalable and environmentally sustainable, thus having the potential to bring about revolutionary advances in microelectronics with enormous societal impact. ORBIS will train 16 DCs through research in the physics of orbital currents, orbital torques, 2D and low-symmetry materials, orbital phenomena in the time domain, magnetic excitations, and topology. The DCs will apply cutting-edge methodologies in new materials, device nanofabrication and characterization, ultrafast spectroscopies, and theoretical calculations and models. Interdisciplinary secondments will enable the exposure of each DC to academia and industry for a total of 6 months. ORBIS will organise 5 focus topic workshops from basic research to applications and open them to researchers outside the consortium. It will also organize 5 transferable skills workshops that will increase the employability of the DCs. Ultimately, the project’s impact will stem from training the next-generation workforce essential for Europe's growing technology sector and vital for strengthening its industrial competitiveness.
