new members Shirly Machluf, Vuong Van Nguyen, John Griffis, Hamed
Arami and Chengyang Liu. -
Dr. Dale Huber from
Sandia National Laboratories and the Center for Integrated
Nanotechnologioes visited our group from Sept. 24 to 25 and gave a
physics colloquium titled “The Role of Surfactant Interactions in
the Magnetic Properties of Chemically Synthesized Nanoparticles and
Nanocomposites”.
-
Dr. Liu was invited to
give the annual featured “Focus on Faculty” presentation in the
University Central Library on Sept. 24. The lecture was titled “From
the compass to hybrid cars --- Permanent magnets for sustainable
development”.
-
Dr. Liu was invited to
give presentations in the Gordon Research Conference on “Magnetic
Nanostructures” at Aussois, France from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, and the
Conference on “Research Trends in Novel Magnets for Electromagnetic
Applications” at Santorini, Greece from September 3 to 5.

Research Focus
The significant increase of applications of
advanced materials has created a great demand for deliberate exploration to
nanostructured magnetic materials. Our
group is currently working on hard and soft magnets spanning all
four dimensions - nanoparticles (0D), nanorods and nanowires (1D),
thin films and multilayers (2D), and nanostructured bulk magnets (3D).
