Description
This fellowship opportunity at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) supports research in the development of magnetism-based future electronics. The focus is on creating large, highly uniform arrays of magnetic nanostructures that utilize novel spin transport phenomena to manipulate and detect magnetization states. This research is critical for advancing technologies such as hard drives with bit-patterned media and magnetic memory chips, as well as other future magnetism-based electronic devices.
The research combines microwave spectroscopy, low-frequency magnetometry, and micromagnetic modeling, leveraging the capabilities of NIST’s Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) NanoFab. Current and recent projects include ferromagnetic resonance force microscopy, stroboscopic ferromagnetic resonance detection, and nanomagnet measurements using diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers.
Key research areas include:
- Ferromagnetic resonance and ferromagnetism
- Magnetic nanostructures and magnetization dynamics
- Magnetoelectronics and micromagnetics
- Nanotechnology and magnetic resonance force microscopy
