The nanoALT project is part of the Leibniz Best Minds competition. It focuses on achieving optical control in hybrid heterostructures composed of two main components: a novel class of magnetic materials known as altermagnets and optically active, energy-efficient hybrid semiconductors.
The aim of the project is to investigate fundamental interactions in these systems on ultrafast timescales ranging from femtoseconds to nanoseconds. Based on these studies, we seek to develop new concepts for reliable and energy-efficient opto-memory applications.
