SM-MESH - Superconductivity and Magnetism – Material Engineering by Swift Heavy ions
Specific mission
- Study of the electromagnetic properties of superconductors and magnetic materials and their modulation by means of irradiation with high energy particles. This study is aimed at fundamental research as well as at applications, in the fields of electromagnetic-field detection, spintronics and clean energy.
- Study, characterization and modelling of superconducting and hybrid ferromagnetic/superconducting devices for applications in spintronics, magnetic shielding and electric power (e.g. magnets).
- Investigation of radiation damage mechanisms in superconductors, conductors and insulators and determination of their damage threshold for applications in harsh environment.
Main research Topics
- Study of the vortex dynamics in unconventional superconductors by means of magnetic, magneto-optical and microwave techniques
- Modulation of the electromagnetic properties of superconductors, magnetic materials and oxides by means of particle irradiation aiming at the development of devices for electromagnetic signal detections.
- Analysis of radiation damage mechanisms in superconductors, conductors, oxides and glass-ceramics and evaluation of their radiation damage threshold for applications in radiation harsh environment (e.g. nuclear fusion plants, space)
- Development of magnets and magnetic shields made of superconducting/ferromagnetic materials
- Study of the properties of magnetic materials and superconducting/ferromagnetic heterostructures for spintronics applications
- Study of the electromagnetic properties of magnetic micro- and nano-particles and of composite materials for localized medical therapies and electromagnetic screening
- Study of fundamental properties of multi-band unconventional superconductors (penetration depth, superfluid density, energy gap, order parameter symmetry) by microwave techniques
- Development of a scanning near-field microwave microscope for surface impedance mapping
