A study lead by researchers from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz proves that switching in antiferromagnet is controlled by the combination of two mechanisms when those materials are subjected to a current pulse. Researchers imaged antiferromagnets, which are considered very promising materials for future spintronic applications such as data storage and computation, at the PEEM end station of the CIRCE beamline at ALBA.
FUNLAYERS met at the ALBA Synchrotron for the Follow-up Research Management Workshop on 18-19th April.
The former scientific director of the ALBA Synchrotron and now user at different beamlines will receive 2.5 million euros over the next 5 years to investigate low-carbon (CO2) cements that contribute to mitigating climate change while keeping competitive performance.
The Instituto de Tecnología Química (CSIC-UPV) leads a work that describes a new method for the industrial purification of ethylene, one of the largest chemical processes in the world and the basis for a multitude of chemical products in our daily lives. Experiments carried out at NOTOS beamline of ALBA contribute to the results.
In recognition of the facility's strategy to implement the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, the ALBA Synchrotron has been given the HRS4R Award. The next three years, ALBA will implement a detailed action plan aimed at improving the quality and impact of research and promoting policies and practices to select, develop and retain staff.
