Congratulations to Kazuaki Yano on his successful pass of Master thesis defense on (11/20/2007).

Congratulations to Dr. Chuanbing Rong for his promotion to a Research Assistant Professor position!

Sm-Co hard magnetic nanoparticles with room-temperature coercivity have been successfully produced using a surfactant-assisted ball milling technique by Yiping and co-workers. This project was started several years ago and our former colleagues Vamsi, Baki and Yang have also contributed to the work. The results are published in Nanotechnology in the coming issue.

NanotechWeb reported research accomplishment of our group in warm compaction of magnetic nanoparticles. Chuanbing and Vikas are the major investigators in this project and our former colleagues Tejaswi and Zhiqiang (Jack) started the experiments few years ago with collaborators at UT-Dallas.(in pdf) (in html).
