New role – Assistant Professor of Physics
Today (Friday 1st December) is my first day as an Assistant Professor of Physics, but I’ll be staying on familiar soil. This day is at least 21 years in the making: I first set foot in the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics and Astronomy in 2002 to begin studying for an M. Sci. degree in…
Spin-Seebeck paper for Carl
We’re delighted for Dr. Carl (Yaoyang) Hu on the publication of his work on spin-Seebeck effect enhancements observed in platinum-yttrium iron garnet (Pt/YIG), where just a sprinkling (~2.5% coverage) of bismuth selenide nanoribbons increased the signal by ~700%! https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0157778 This work from an EPSRC New Horizons grant with Prof Simon Woodward and Dr Oleg Makarovsky…
