Materials Research Science and Engineering Center: Quantum and Spin Phenomena in Nanomagnetic Structures

内布拉斯加州大学的材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）支持纳米磁性结构中的量子和自旋现象的跨学科研究项目。MRSEC包括代表物理系、机械工程系、化学系和生物科学学院的教师参与者。该中心的研究分为两个跨学科研究小组（irg）。IRG1，纳米磁学：基本相互作用和应用，关注纳米结构中粒子或颗粒之间的交换和静磁相互作用的研究。IRG 2，纳米接触和界面的自旋极化和传输，研究了自旋极化和通过纳米级磁接触和铁磁/铁电结构的输运。该中心的研究得到了与其他大学、政府和工业实验室的广泛合作的帮助，这些合作带来了超过15个额外的参与者。该中心还维护共享的实验设施，以支持其研究工作。教育推广工作包括为教师和主要来自本科院校的师生团队提供研究经验。中心现有高级研究员16人，博士后2人，研究生14人，本科生10人，辅助人员2人。David J. Sellmyer教授是MRSEC的负责人。

The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University of Nebraska supports an interdisciplinary research program on Quantum and Spin Phenomena in Nanomagnetic Structures. The MRSEC includes faculty participants representing the departments of physics, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and the school of biological sciences The Center's research is organized into two interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs). IRG1, Nanomagnetism: Fundamental Interactions and Applications, is concerned with the study of exchange and magnetostatic interactions between particles or grains in nanostructures. IRG 2, Spin Polarization and Transmission at Nanocontacts and Interfaces, investigates spin polarization and transport through nanoscale magnetic contacts and at ferromagnetic/ferroelectric structures. The Center's research is aided by extensive collaborations with other universities, government and industrial laboratories that bring in over fifteen additional participants. The Center also maintains shared experimental facilities in support of its research efforts. Education outreach efforts include research experiences for teachers and for faculty-student teams from predominantly undergraduate institutions.Participants in the Center currently include 16 senior investigators, 2 postdoctoral associates, 14 graduate students, 10 undergraduate students, and 2 support personnel. Professor David J. Sellmyer directs the MRSEC.
