Current Research Interests
• Nanocrystals and Nanomagnetism
Chemical synthesis of metallic & oxide magnetic nanocrystals,
including core-shell structures, with narrow size distributions,
controlled shapes and tailored surface morphologies. Studies
of self-organization in weakly interacting systems. Ferrofluids
and liquid crystals. Fundamental investigations of their
static/dynamic magnetic behavior as a function of assembly,
dimensionality and inter-particle interactions. Phase
stability and coupled properties in core-shell structures.
• Thin Film Heterostructures: magnetism, proximity
and interface effects
Epitaxial growth by UHV ion-beam sputtering. Poximity,
exchange and interface effects on the magnetic behavior
of tailored heterostructures. Emphasis on exchange bias
(AFM/FM) and exchange-spring (FM/FM) behavior. Current
work is on ordered intermetallic multilayers and metal/oxide
bilayers.
• Biophysics and Biomedical Applications
of Magnetism
Functional magnetic nanoparticles for cancer therapeutics
and diagnostics. Develop, functionalize and optimize magnetic
nanoparticles for drug delivery, image enhancements and
hyperthermia. Current focus is on the treatment of glioblastoma
and the delivery of nanoparticles by focused ultrasound
methods. Diagnostics methods include biosensors using
magnetic relaxation and chip-based magnetic separation
for immunoassays. Magnetophoretic mobility and manipulation
of bilological structures using magnetic beads.
•
Spinelectronics and spin-dependent transport
Origin of magnetism in dilute magnetic semiconducting
oxides. Development of new materials and thin film architectures
for spinelectronics that offer the potential for integration
with silicon based semiconductor technologies. Dilute
magnetic dielectrics and spin-filter devices. Spin-resolved
quantum conduction using break junctions.
•
Advanced Characterization with electrons, photons
and scanning probes
Role of the physical, chemical and magnetic microstructure
at relevant length scales in determining the functional
behavior of engineered materials. A variety of scattering,
imaging and spectroscopy methods are used. These include
a) Structural characterization (x-ray reflectivity, small-angle
x-ray scattering) and microstructural investigations using
advanced transmission electron microscopy; b) Surface
characterization by scanning probe microscopy; c) Magnetic
characterization and imaging by neutron scattering (IPNS),
x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (ALS), photo-emission
electron microscopy (ALS), electron holography, Lorentz
microscopy and magnetic force microscopy
• Magnetic
actuation in MEMS
Novel thin film architectures for physical actuation using
magnetic fields and without external leads
