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

内布拉斯加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计划。MRSEC包括代表物理，机械工程，化学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）。 IRG 1，纳米磁性：基本的相互作用和应用，是关于纳米结构中颗粒或晶粒之间的交换和静磁相互作用的研究。 IRG 2，自旋极化和纳米接触和界面的传输，研究通过纳米磁性接触和铁磁/铁电结构的自旋极化和传输。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，这些实验室带来了超过15个额外的参与者。 该中心还保持共享实验设施，以支持其研究工作。教育推广工作包括为教师和来自主要本科院校的师生团队提供研究经验。该中心的参与者目前包括16名高级研究员，2名博士后助理，14名研究生，10名本科生和2名支持人员。 大卫教授J.

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.
