Department Name: ISIS Pulsed Neutron & Muon Source

Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
 
Description The completed grant has generated high quality scientific publications which continue to support this expanding area of research activity. The post-doc on the grant has successfully secured a new research position.
Exploitation Route These artificial systems may be of relevance for information storage devices.
Sectors Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Electronics

 
Description The work in this grant to establish snap-shots of the structures has supported the more recent developments in studying the dynamic behaviour of artificial spin-ices. Such systems have the potential to provide configurable devices that can be used in the emerging field of magnonics. As such these technologies may form the basis of highly efficient low loss electronics in applications such as data storage and computation.
