The Nanomagnetism group members Henri Baldino and Criss Zhang crossed the street this past week to attend MRS 2022 Fall meeting at Hynes Convention Center in Boston. They were joined by collaborators Nica Ferrer of Northeastern University physics department and Chris Woodgate of the University of Warwick physics department. Criss Zhang gave 2 talks and presented a poster; the first talk focused on FeSiB devitrification, the second on the impact of copper vacancies on Cuprite's biocidal activity, and a poster on the impacts of annealing under a magnetic field on MnAl L10 formation. Chris Woodgate presented a talk on atomistic modeling of short range order in high-entropy alloys. Nica Ferrer presented a talk on modeling of interaction within L10 magnetic materials. And last but not least Henri Baldino presented a poster on the creation of high coercivity rare-earth-lean permanent magnet, which received a best poster award for Symposium SF07: Frontiers of Intermetallics Science for Structural and Functional Materials Design.
Chris Woodgate is a 3rd year PhD student under the advisement of Professor Julie Staunton in the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick in the UK. His Phd funding comes from the 'Centre of Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems' of which Professor Staunton is a director.
Nica Ferrer is a 3rd year PhD student under the advisement of Professor Gregory Fiete in the Department of Physics at Northeastern University.
