Welcome to the website of the Sheffield Centre for Advanced Magnetic Materials and Devices (SCAMMD) within the Department of Engineering Materials, University of Sheffield.
The
Centre uses experiment and simulation to investigate fabrication,
appliation and basic understanding of magnetic materials. Current
activity includes:
magnetic microelectromechanical system (MagMEMS) biosensors
spin-wave propagation and organic spintronics
magnetic nanowires for information technology, biological and atomic physics applications
exchange bias in magnetic thin films
thin film magnetostriction
bulk
hard and soft magnetic materials
atomistic and micromagnetic simulation methods
