Physics and Astronomy Calendar

Friday, November 20th 2009
2:30 pm:
Speaker: Chris Leighton, Dept. of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota
Subject: Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Novel Magnetic Materials
mainly for new graduate students

After a brief introduction to the field of magnetism, magnetic materials, and magnetism-based technologies I will give an overview of the research performed in my group on magnetic materials. This research is performed on a wide variety of materials across a large span of length scales, from bulk single crystals, through heterostructured thin films, to magnetic nanostructures. The work includes studies of magnetic phase separation in complex oxides, charge and spin transport in oxide heterostructures, development of half-metallic ferromagnets, spin injection in metallic nanostructures, and block copolymer lithography of magnetic nanostructure arrays.
