Summary
National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic propertie ....National Facility for Electron Spin Correlations and Spintronics. Conventional electronics is based on coupling the charge of the electrons with external electric fields and light. Recent work on spintronics is directed toward the use of both the spin (angular momentum) and the charge degrees of freedom of the electron. We currently lead the world in the development of spin-resolved coincidence measurements, which make it possible to determine previously inaccessible nanoscale magnetic properties, central to 'spintronic structure engineering'. State-of-the-art instrumentation is requested to characterise the magnetic and crystallographic structure, the adsorbates, and the lateral distribution and depth profile of fabricated zero, one and two-dimensional structures.Read moreRead less
Comparative Study of MnAs and Co-Based Magnetoelastic Functional Materials. Magnetoelastic materials are an emerging new class of functional materials with great potential in a wide range of innovative applications including smart structures, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, micro-electromechanical systems, and medical engineering.

Magnetoelastic materials are an emerging new class of functional materials with great potential in a wide range of innovative applications including smart structures, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, micro-electromechanical systems, and medical engineering. The study of magnetoelastic materials is still in its infancy and a great effort is required to develop them into practical materials for engineering application. This study aims to investigate two promising candidate materials: CoNi and MnAs. Expected outcomes include the characterisation of their functional properties and understanding of the mechanisms of magnetoelasticity in these materials. Such understanding is expected to contribute to the development of practical magnetoelastic materials and their applications.
