In 1962 Albert Fert graduated from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, [3] where he attended courses by the physicists Alfred Kastler and Jacques Friedel. (As an undergraduate he had strong interests in photography and cinema, and was a great admirer of the work of Ingmar Bergman .
French physicist Albert Fert received from the King of Sweden the medal and diplomas of the Physics Nobel Prize on the 10th December 2007. The award was for discovering the giant magnetoresistance at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides. The work had an impact on electronics created a new form of it- spintronics. [20]
In 1993, Thierry Valet and Albert Fert presented a model for the giant magnetoresistance in the CPP geometry, based on the Boltzmann equations. In this model the chemical potential inside the magnetic layer is split into two functions, corresponding to electrons with spins parallel and antiparallel to the magnetization of the layer.
Peter Andreas Grünberg (German: [ˈpeːtɐ ˈɡʁyːnbɛʁk] ⓘ; 18 May 1939 – 7 April 2018 [1] [2] [3]) was a German physicist, and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate for his discovery with Albert Fert of giant magnetoresistance which brought about a breakthrough in gigabyte hard disk drives. [4]
His PhD was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Joint Physics Unit CNRS/Thales (currently known as Laboratory Albert Fert) under the guidance of Prof. Albert Fert. Bibes joined the CNRS in 2003 at the Institute of Fundamental Electronics, now known as the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N).
