 Device Materials Group
University of Cambridge The magnetic device research programme at Cambridge includes magnetic, superconducting and ferroelectric materials, metals, oxides, nitrides and carbides. Many projects are collaborative, involving close interaction with industry, institutions and universities around the world. Within the Device Materials Group there are established facilities for bulk synthesis, thin film growth, materials characterisation. The Nanoscience Centre has facilities for nanoscale device fabrication and characterisation. Recent work relevant the programme includes the measurement of constricted domain walls in rare-earth / transition metal heterostructures, studies of exchange bias in novel heterostructures, studies of superconductor / ferromagnet hybrids, optimisation of Heusler alloy films and the development of nanofabrication techniques. Role in the network - Device fabrication and nanoscale patterning
- Preparation of sputtered and laser ablated samples.
- Transport measurements: various rigs: up to 8T, continuously variable field orientation, 0.3K – 300K, CPP
