Seminarios 2023 del Departamento de Física de la Materia Condensada: “Magnetoelastic thin films”.- Viernes 19 de mayo
El viernes 19 de mayo de 2023 a las 12:30 h se celebrará una nueva sesión de los Seminarios del Departamento de Física de la Materia Condensada en la Sala de Grados. El seminario de título “Magnetoelastic thin films” será impartido por Rocío Ranchal, de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
El ciclo de Seminarios del Departamento de Física de la Materia Condensada cuenta con la colaboración del Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón, INMA, instituto mixto del CSIC y la Universidad de Zaragoza y la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Zaragoza.
Resumen (en inglés):
Magnetoelasticity exploits the correlation between mechanical and magnetic properties. Magnetostrictive materials have been used in different fields ranging from SONAR to magnetic sensors. Nowadays, there is even a new field of research called straintronics that is gaining attention from the scientific community. In this talk I will discuss our recent work on magnetoelastic thin films, mainly Fe72Ga28 and Ni90Fe10. Magnetic properties can be tuned thanks to growth parameters for example when using sputtering or electrodeposition. In addition, we have also investigated the possibility of coupling these two materials systems.
Rocío Ranchal is Full Professor at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) where she is currently working on magnetostrictive thin films and new magnetic materials for energy applications. She got her PhD from UCM at 2006 with a work on magnetic transport in metallic multilayers and diluted magnetic heterostructures. From 2006 to 2008 she performed at postdoc stay at Paul-Drude-Institut (Germany). In 2007 she got the Prize for Young Researchers in the category of experimental Physics from the Spanish Royal Physics Society (RSEF). Prof. Ranchal has collaborated with national and international investigators such as Dr. M. Ciria (Spain), Profs. M. Bibes (France), A. Barthélémy (France), Prof. M. Marangolo (France), Dr. D. Haskel (USA), etc.
