Studies of Chiral magnets and Skyrmion materials

该学生奖学金将研究各种手性磁体，其中一些已知具有skyrmionic行为，以及探索可能具有这种行为的新材料。该项目将利用一些实验技术来合成晶体形式的材料，并将包括通过详细调查其结构和磁性来研究所产生的晶体。该项目将是合作性质的，涉及英国和国际上的几个研究小组。此外，我们亦有机会参与在国际设施进行的中子、μ子及同步辐射实验，以配合我们的内部研究。沃里克大学是英国国家研究计划“Skyrmionics：从磁激励到低能量功能器件”，这是一项由英国EPSRC资助的计划赠款，涉及牛津大学达勒姆大学，剑桥和南安普顿。学生将有机会与其他学生和PDRA在更广泛的联盟工作，在他们的博士项目的过程中。

The studentship is to work on a variety of Chiral Magnets some of which have been known to exhibit skyrmionic behaviour, as well as exploring new materials which may exhibit this behaviour. The project will make use of a number of experimental techniques to synthesize the materials in the form of crystals and will encompass the study of the crystals produced through detailed investigations of their structural and magnetic properties. The project will be collaborative in nature and involve several research groups both within the UK and Internationally. There will also be scope for taking part in experiments at international facilities using neutrons, muons and synchrotron radiation, to complement our in-house studies.The University of Warwick is one of the five consortium universities in the UK National Research Programme on "Skyrmionics: From Magnetic Excitations to Functioning Low-Energy Devices", a Programme Grant funded by the EPSRC, UK, involving the universities of Durham, Oxford, Cambridge and Southampton. The student will have the opportunity to work with other students and PDRAs in the wider consortium, during the course of their PhD project.
