FDTR system being built

We have all the components for our frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) system, and the setup is almost ready. Here is a snapshot of the current status, soon we will be able to use this to characterize the thermal properties of materials, and investigate how heat is transported at different length scales. Stay tuned for more updates […]

Our new engineering building has a name

As the construction of our new Engineering building speeds towards completion by Summer 2015, today it was announced that our new home will be called the Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence. Follow news of the announcement here. Check out a few images of what this new building will look like:   This gorgeous building is […]

New paper accepted in IEEE Trans. Magn.

Our paper on "Curie temperature distribution in FePt granular media" has been accepted in IEEE Trans. Magn. This work follows up on our recent report in APL with additional modeling of effective switching temperature distributions at nanosecond time scales and additional experimental data on switching temperature distribution in FeCuPt alloy media and switching probability as […]

Simone gives an invited talk at TMRC

Simone gives an invited talk at the 2014 TMRC (The Magnetic Recording Conference) in Berkeley, CA entitled "Measuring the Curie temperature distribution in FePt granular magnetic media". This follows the work recently published in APL.
