On 12th-14th June, first year PGR David Newman attended the York-Tohoku-Kaiserslautern Research Symposium on “New Concept Spintronic Devices”. The symposium is a result of the JSPS Core-to-Core programme that pairs Japanese universities with world-leading universities.
David presented a poster titled”Time-resolved X-ray detected ferromagnetic resonance measurements of a CoFe/NiO/Fe/NiFe multilayer structure”. This involved using X-ray techniques to observe an AC spin current propagating through an antiferrromagnetic NiO layer.
David learnt a lot about how people are incorporating spintronic concepts into devices and novel techniques for studying spin phenomena as well as the conference providing a good opportunity to network.
