LIMA – “Liquid Magnets: fundamental studies of ferromagnetic order in liquids”

Nerea Sebastián
Department of Complex Matter, IJS

Abstract:

In this seminar I aim to provide an overall image of our planned activities for the next 3 years within the ARRS project LIMA, recently granted. It was recently shown that suspensions of scandium substituted barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in n-butanol show not only nematic ordering, but also spontaneous ferromagnetic fluid ordering. Such liquid magnets have opened up the possibility to experimentally study a completely new set of fundamental physical phenomena lying between our understanding of solid magnets and paramagnetic ferrofluids.

In LIMA we aim to conduct a fundamental and through study of these novel materials: from material synthesis and design to formation and stability of magnetic domains together dynamics and magnetic signal propagation.

The seminar will take place via Zoom. The details for connecting to the meeting can be found below:
