Fabrication and characterization of ferromagnetic vortices for spintronics

Robert Badea with Jesse Berezovsky Fabrication and characterization of ferromagnetic vortices for spintronics Poster Paper The proposed project involves creating thin ferromagnetic films which behave with reduced dimensionality to create concentrated localized magnetic fields. The initial part of the project is to create thin ferromagnetic disks with a thickness of approximately 50nm...

Understanding Quasicrystals

Brian Cox with Rolfe Petschek Understanding Quasicrystals Poster Paper Quasicrystals have been observed in a variety of metallic systems and recently also in simulations of hard tetrahedral. In quasicrystals atoms are arranged in such a way that the fourier transform of the positions of their centers, or indeed of any characteristic of...

Integrated Optical Cavities

Integrated Optical CavitesTadeus Liska with Jesse BerezovskyLiska Berezovsky 2013Spintronics is an emerging field with numerous applications including quantum computing of which a key component is the ability to monitor the spin state of a system. Such monitoring can be achieved optically using spin-photon interactions such as the Faraday rotation....
