A group representing the CMRI, consisting of Public Engagement Manager (and CMRI PhD alumni) Dr David Newman and current PGRs Jonathon Smith and Stuart Kendall, went to the Sidmouth Science Festival (Saturday 7th October) to present a series of outreach demonstrators introducing a variety of wave phenomena and wave-matter interactions. The demonstrators then led to […]

Graduation Celebration Summer 2023
Congratulations to our 2023 Summer graduates who had their ceremony last week! We held post-graduation celebrations in Physics 124, attended by graduates, their guests, fellow PGRs and their supervisors to reflect on their time as PGRs. They go on to a variety of positions across academia and industry with some staying in Exeter and […]
New Publication: Transition Metal Synthetic Ferrimagnets: Tunable Media for All-Optical Switching Driven by Nanoscale Spin Current
Congratulations to fourth year PGRs David Newman and Connor Sait, who have co-authored the paper ‘Transition Metal Synthetic Ferrimagnets: Tunable Media for All-Optical Switching Driven by Nanoscale Spin Current‘, recently published in Nano Letters. Synthetic ferrimagnets (SFi’s) represent a promising avenue for magnetic data storage devices since they have greater tunability (by varying the thickness […]
Pint of Science 2021
Pint of Science 2021 was slightly different to previous years. Normally, the events would be held in pubs across the country, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was moved to an online format. Over 30 UK cities organised almost 70 live online shows. This year, the city of Exeter hosted three shows: Our Bodies […]
PGR contributions and poster winner at IOP Magnetism 2021
Five of our PGRs contributed to this year’s IOP Magnetism conference; IoP Magnetism is the largest conference for the UK/RoI magnetism community and features researchers/industry from across Europe. The contributions from our PGRs were: CONTRIBUTED TALKS: Oliver Latcham – “Magnetically tunable resonant acoustic transmission in phononic crystals” Kostas Chatzimpaloglou – “Optically detected spin-orbit […]
New Publication: Electrical Detection of DC Spin Current Propagation Through an Epitaxial Antiferromagnetic NiO Layer
Congratulations to third year PGR David Newman, whose paper ‘Electrical Detection of DC Spin Current Propagation Through an Epitaxial Antiferromagnetic NiO Layer’ has recently been published in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. David explains this work and the impact of its findings: Spin currents (net transfer of spin angular momentum) have been suggested as potential successors […]
Elizabeth Martin wins Best Poster Award at 65th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM 2020)
Congratulations to final year PGR Elizabeth Martin, who won the Best Poster Award at the 65th Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM 2020) (2nd-6th November 2020). This is an international conference that includes all aspects of fundamental and applied magnetism, which for the first time was held virtually. The conference had over 16000 […]
David Newman and Kostas Chatzimpaloglou present at the Institute of Physics Current Research in Magnetism 2020: High Frequency Spintronics
Last month, 2nd year PGRs David Newman and Kostas Chatzimpaloglou both gave contributed talks for the Institute of Physics Current Research in Magnetism 2020: High Frequency Spintronics, which was held virtually. David’s presentation was on “Spin current propagation through an epitaxial antiferromagnetic NiO layer”. In this talk, he demonstrated the use of the inverse spin […]
David Newman chairs session at UK Magnetics Society Student Conference
Second year PGR David Newman reently chaired a session at UK Magnetics Society Student Conference where he chaired a session and presented a talk entitled ‘Electrical detection of a DC spin current through an epitaxial antiferromagnetic NiO layer’. The event was virtually hosted by the UK Magnetics Society to provide a platform for PhD student […]
New Publication: Coherent Transfer of Spin Angular Momentum by Evanescent Spin Waves within Antiferromagnetic NiO
Congratulations to second year PGR David Newman, who has co-authored ‘Coherent Transfer of Spin Angular Momentum by Evanescent Spin Waves within Antiferromagnetic NiO’, recently published in Physical Review Letters. Out of the fourteen co-authors, David is listed fifth. His supervisors Dr. Maciej Dąbrowski and Prof. Robert Hicken are also co-authors. The publication was also the subject of […]
