Magnetic Materials Growth

The Condensed Matter Group has a strong history in thin-film magnetism with decades of experience in the growth and characterisation of magnetic thin films. We have facilities, and technical know-how, for the growth of the following magnetic layers and multilayer structures:

Transition metal ferromagnets and their alloys
Yttrium-Iron Garnet thin films
Rare earth ferromagnets
Amorphous ferromagnets
Granular ferromagnets
Antiferromagnets
Synthetic Antiferromagnets
Rare earth - transition metal ferrimagnetic alloys
Spin valves
Single crystal magnetic layers
Magnetic semiconductors
