Master degree in Materials Science

The project is in collaboration with INRIM, National Institute of Metrological Research (https://www.inrim.it/), where the synthesis and magnetic properties characteriasation will be done. THe project is developed in the frame of a European Project BeMAgic (https://bemagic-etn.eu/).

OBJECTIVES: To develop new classes of energy-efficient spintronic devices for data storage systems 1) Growth of multiferroic structures by sputtering using top-down and bottom-up nanolithography to obtain small disks and other sub-micrometric geometries; 2) assessment of the magnetization properties

APPROACHES: Alloy synthesis by physical techniques, structural and microstructural characterisation (SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, EBSD), measurement of magnetic properties. Work done in collaboration with a PhD student.
