Congratulations to our very own Natalie Whitehead for winning the best poster award for her work “Theory of Linear Spin Wave Emission from a Bloch Domain Wall” at the Magnetism 2018 in Manchester!
Magnetism 2018 (IOP) is the premier conference organised by the UK and Rol magnetism community. It welcomes and encourages participation from Europe and further afield, and from industry. A mixture of invited talks and submitted contributions showcased the breadth of magnetism research in the UK and Rol covering the areas of thin films and nanostructures, spintronics, permanent magnetic materials, correlated electrons, nanoparticles and biological/biomedical applications of magnetism, computational magnetism and general magnetism.
The meeting included oral sessions on a range of subjects including spintronics, spin textures (domain walls, dynamics, vortices, skyrmions), permanent magnetism and energy efficiency, correlated electrons and topological systems, spin ice and 2D materials, nanoparticles, ab initio and micromagnetic theory, with plenary speaker Professor Albert Fert (University of Paris-Sud and UMP CNRS/Thales, France) and the Wohlfarth Lecture by Professor Gino Hrkac (University of Exeter, UK).
Our PGRs gave the following presentations:
- Development of novel magnetic-elastic membranes for microfluidic applications (Elizabeth Martin)
- High frequency modes in ferromagnetic shells for microwave applications (Conor McKeever)
- Spatial mapping of torques within a spin hall nano-oscillator (Tim Spicer)
and presented their work with posters:
- Collective excitations of bubble domains confined inside an antidot lattice (Angus Laurenson)
- Ferromagnetic swimmer: fabrication, controlled swimming, and applications (Joshua Hamilton)
- Propagating spiral spin waves in magnetic nano-patches (David Osuna Ruiz)
- Theory of Linear Spin Wave Emission from a Bloch Domain Wall (Natalie Whitehead)
- Time resolved imaging of coupled nano-contact spin transfer vortex oscillators (Erick Burgos)
