Lauren J. Riddiford is an ETH postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratory for Mesoscopic Systems, jointly at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, and the Paul Scherrer Institute, both in Switzerland. Her current research interests are in spatially tuning properties of thin-film magnetic heterostructures. She received her PhD in applied physics from Stanford University in 2022 under the supervision of Yuri Suzuki. In her dissertation work, she revealed the origin of interfacial magnetic coupling and spin transport in thin-film bilayer structures.

Another Twist in the Understanding of Moiré Materials

The unexpected observation of an aligned spin polarization in certain twisted semiconductor bilayers calls for improved models of these systems. Read More »
