Magnetic Materials

Magnetic materials play a significant role in a wide range of technological applications, from motors to medical imaging to information storage. The magnetic response of materials is largely determined by the magnetic dipole moment related to the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of its electrons. Researchers are investigating the structure of bulk materials, thin films, and nanoparticle materials by means of HRTEM, EELS, and X-ray diffraction and studying their magnetic properties by standard hysteretic techniques.
