Jose Antonio’s final degree project (Nanoscience and Nanotechnology)
Jose Antonio Peña, student on the last year of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology degree (UAB), has joined SUMAN group to do the final year degree project on “Growth of YBCO layers on CZO buffered substrates” under the supervision of Dr. Cornelia Pop.
Welcome Jose Antonio!
Jaume Gazquez at ORNL for microscopy experiment
During July 2014, Dr. Jaume Gazquez visited Oak Ridge National Laboratory to work with the STEM Group on complex oxides interfaces by means of aberration corrected scanning electron microscopy techniques.
Anna Palau at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin for X-PEEM measurements
From 21st to 27th of July, Dr. Anna Palau visited the synchrotron radiation source BESSY II at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin to perform X-PEEM space resolved magnetic measurements in hybrid superconductor-magnetic systems.
Jordi and Gerard, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology visitor students from UAB
During the first semester of 2014 we hosted two visitor students from the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology degree from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona to complete their final degree work. Jordi Antoja’s work concerned “Towards nanofabricated pinning sites in high-Tc superconducting thin films based on the Resistive Switching phenomenon” under the supervision of Dr. Anna Palau. Gerard Pedreira was devoted to “Growth and characterization of thin oxides films with Resistive Switching properties”, supervised by Dr. Narcís Mestres.
Visitor student from Pennsylvania State University Materials Science and Engineering
Zack Khayat, student of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University from the group of Susan Trolier-McKinstry, spent three months in our laboratories to work on “Growth and characterization of Atomic Layer Deposited BiFeO3 for Energy Applications” under the supervision of Dr. Mariona Coll.
