About
Prof. Yuriy Mokrousov leads the Topological Nanoelectronics Group at the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI) within the Quantum Theory of Materials (PGI-1) at Research Center Jülich. His research focuses on leveraging topological concepts and geometrical phases (e.g., Berry phases) to explore novel transport phenomena in nanoelectronic materials. Key areas include spintronics, noncollinear magnets, and topological phases in complex systems such as skyrmions and altermagnets. He employs density functional theory (DFT) and first-principles methodologies to bridge theoretical predictions with experimental advances.
Research interests span: dissipationless spin currents, topological transport effects, spin-orbit torques, and the interplay between magnetism and quantum geometry. His group investigates materials like Mn2Au, transition metal interfaces, and van der Waals heterostructures to uncover mechanisms for future nanoelectronic applications.
Recent articles highlight advancements in orbital magnetism, domain wall dynamics, and optical manipulation of magnetic textures. Collaborations involve developing computational tools to model electronic and spin properties, with applications in spintronics and energy-related materials.
