Organisers of the annual MMM meeting invited to Prof. Ramirez to give a talk on Controlling magnetization dynamics in hybrid heterostructures with first-order phase transitions at the upcoming 61st Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials 2016 to be held at New Orleans. 

 

We have successfully moved our magnet to the lab. (Pics)

 

We have completed a research visit to LCLS (part of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) to measure the ultrafast response of correlated oxide V2O3 via pulsed XRD after fentosecond laser pump. The visit was part of a collaboration with two groups @ UCSD (Prof. Oleg Spyrko and Prof. Ivan K. Schuller)

 

 

 

 

Postdoctoral Position Open (CLOSED)
