Year: 2024
Lawrence awarded Barry Goldwater Scholarship
Congratulations to Lawrence who was one of the awardees of the Barry Goldwater Scholarship 2024. This is one of the most prestigious federal scholarship in the natural sciences. It’s scope is to support undergraduate students “who intend to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering […] helping ensure that the U.S. is producing the number of highly-qualified professionals the Nation needs in these critical fields.”
Lawrence has performed exceptional research in our group including the modeling of resonant and propagating modes in macroscopic artificial spin ices and micromagnetic modeling of magneto-toroidal spin ices, both graduate-level research topics.
Congratulations again to Lawrence for this well deserved recognition.
Ghanem and Ezio present at March Meeting
We attended March Meeting 2024 in Minneapolis. Ghanem presented an excellent talk about our ongoing work on tilted artificial spin ices. Our colleague Prof. Bozhko from the uMag group also presented about our collaborative work on a macroscopic artificial spin ice which was very well received by the audience.
We also got to learn what early career physicists are more interested about! (see picture)
Nano-magnonic crystals
Ally published her first-author investigation of magnonic band structure in nano-magnonic crystals. These are magnonic crystals with parameters modulated at the nanoscale which could leverage new techniques in material science with tens of nanometer resolution. Congratulations Ally!
The paper can be found at Magnetochemistry 10, 14 (2024)
Elettra showcases domain wall motion
Our recent work on ultrafast domain wall motion due to ultrafast excitation was recently showcased as a top story at the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. We are very happy about the attention this work is receiving and the opportunities it opens for future research.
Our group’s contribution to this work has been also highlighted in UCCS’s communique article.
