The Centre uses experiment and simulation to investigate fabrication, application and basic understanding of magnetic materials. Current activity includes:
- magnetic microelectromechanical system (MagMEMS) biosensors
- spin-wave propagation and organic spintronics
- magnetic nanowires for information technology, biological and atomic physics applications
- exchange bias in magnetic thin films
- thin film magnetostriction
- bulk hard and soft magnetic materials
- atomistic and micromagnetic simulation methods
Congratulations to Dr Qayes Al-Dulaim from the Functional Materials - Magnetics group, who successfully defended his thesis
"Magnetic and Mechanical Properties of Magnetostrictive FeGaSiB Films"
on the 16th October 2018 with minor corrections!
SCAMMD members Professor Dan Allwood and Richard Dawidek as well as two undergraduate students; Aidan Mullen and Stephan Kyle, went to I06 at the Diamond light Source from the 26th September - 2nd October. Experiments investigating magnetic nanoring arrays with PPhotoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) took place over the course of the visit.
We thank Dr Francesco Maccherozzi for his help and collaboration during our time there
Congratulations to Jonathan Wood and Professor Allwood for the publication of their paper on "Control of ferromagnetic properties of Ni80Fe20 thin films by voltage-induced oxidation" in Journal of Applied Physics. Further reading of this article can be found here

Congratulations to both Dr Ruth Bradley and Dr Ghaiath Fadhil who both graduated not only from our group, but also the university today. With the lovely weather and very resplendant attire, we are proud of both of them for what they have achieved. We wish them all of the best in the future. |
SCAMMD members Professor Dan Allwood, Dr Tom Hayward and Richard Dawidek went to OFFSPEC at the ISIS Neutron Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot from the 11th-18th May. Experiments investigating magnetic nanoring arrays with Polarised Neutron Reflectometry (PNR) took place over the course of the visit.
We thank Dr Nina-Juliane Steinke and Dr Jos Cooper for their help and collaboration during our time there.
On the 9th-10th April, Functional Materials - Magnetics Group (SCAMMD) attended Magnetism 2018 organised by the Institute of Physics.
Congratulations to Dr Ghaiath A. Fadhil from the Functional Materials - Magnetics group, who successfully defended his thesis of:
"The role of microstructure on the performance of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets"
on the 6th November, 2017 with minor corrections!
The thesis can be read online at http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/18936/ after the 8th December 2018.
Please get in contact with the group if you'd like to request a copy before then.
Alaa Alasadi, Frederik Claeyssens and Dan Allwood published a paper (Laser direct writing (LDW) of magnetic structures) on AIP Advances. Further reading of this article can be found here.
Dr K. A. Omari and T. J. Hayward have published a paper on "A Micromagnetic Protocol for Qualitatively Predicting Stochastic Domain Wall Pinning" in Scientific Reports - Nature! Further reading of this article can be found here.
Congratulations to Professor Allwood who was the keynote speaker at the International Conference on Innovative and Smart Materials (ICISM) 2017, held in Paris from the 11th December to the 13th.
Professor Allwood presented a number of areas of the Functional Materials - Magnetics group relating to his areas of expertise in patterned ferromagnetic nanorings. These included hybrid multi-ferroic systems for controlling domain wall position using applied stress and the nature of domain wall propagation in an array of overlapping NiFe nanorings.
