Research Interests


Misbah Yaqoob joined the Spintronics and Quantum Nanoelectronics Group in August 2025.
Her research focuses on skyrmions, spin currents, spin torques, the spin Hall effect, and spin dynamics in thin-film material systems. She has experience working with spintronic systems, particularly skyrmion-hosting thin films and magnetic heterostructures for the manipulation of spin torques. She studied these phenomena, in particular, using Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) spectroscopy and Brillouin Light Scattering techniques.
In her current research, she is focusing on the study of spintronic devices, particularly with the aim of sustainable energy applications. Her work concentrates on ferromagnet/semiconductor heterostructures, where she studies how spin currents generated in these systems can be controlled to develop advanced components such as spin transistors. This research includes the fabrication of spin transistors with different configurations and the use of lasers to regulate spin currents.
She also carries out detailed analyses of structural changes and magnetic anisotropy to identify the main factors that affect spin current transfer. By combining material design with fabrication methods, her research aims to optimise conditions for creating energy-efficient spintronic technologies that could contribute to future sustainable solutions.
