Recent work on new room temperature multiferroics

October 4, 2016 By John Heron

Recent work on new room temperature multiferroics is highlighted by Nature and the University of Michigan!

Our collaborative work with UC Berkeley and Cornell University was recently highlighted in Nature: News and Views by Manfred Fiebig and by the University of Michigan! The highlights are in regards to the work recently published in Nature (“Atomically engineered ferroic layers yield a room-temperature magnetoelectric multiferroic”).

Fiebig’s article is titled, “Condensed-matter physics: Multitasking materials from atomic templates”.

The article written by the University of Michigan is titled, “ ‘Atomic sandwiches’ could make computers 100x greener”.

New Equipment!

July 6, 2016 By John Heron

The lab has received new deposition and characterization equipment courtesy of IMRA America! Donated to our lab was:

  • 3 Thermionics PLD-PVD deposition chambers.
  • 1 thermal evaporator and power supply.
  • A Van der Pauw and Hall effect measurement system.
  • Solar performance testing station.
  • A plethora of deposition materials in 1 -2 in targets.
  • 3 sputtering guns and power supplies.

We are already putting these new facilities to use with the growth of oxide nanowires and chalcogenide thin films. We are still setting up the other equipment but are excited by all of the new possibilities. Thanks IMRA!

Welcome Undergraduate Researchers

March 5, 2016 By John Heron

The lab welcomes:

Thomas Kratofil

Jesse Newton

Andrew Williamson

Jiawei Zhang

These students are already learning how to safely work in a PLD lab, building laser enclosures, making targets and soon to be depositing materials!

Welcome guys! Be safe, have fun and and may the oxygen octahedral be with you in all your endeavors.
