Physics Colloquium: Laura Heyderman (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
Lecture
Artificial spin ices are frustrated nanomagnet arrays with rich emergent physics and potential for new forms of unconventional green computing. I will present our work in the following three areas:
(i) Phase Transitions
(ii) Nanomagnetic Computation
(iii) Three-Dimensional Lattices
This work requires the development of nanofabrication methods, characterization with lab-based and large scale facilities, and simulations.

Laura Heyderman is a Professor of Mesoscopic Systems at the Department of Materials, ETH Zurich. She has also served as Head of the Laboratory for Multiscale Materials Experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute. In her research, she develops lithography methods for fabricating structures and devices incorporating sub- micrometre magnets. Her work also includes the development of novel large-scale facility methods for characterising their microscopic behaviour. A key focus is artificial spin ice—arrays of coupled frustrated magnets arranged on various lattices. These magnetic metamaterials exhibit intriguing phenomena, including emergent magnetic monopoles, chiral dynamics, and phase transitions. Additionally, she investigates three- dimensional magnetic systems, magneto-mechanical systems, hybrid materials, and spintronic devices, laying the groundwork for next-generation technologies such as sensors, actuators, micromanipulators and computation.
