Magnetism and proximity effects in thin films and multilayers

  • Multiferroic thin films and heterostructures, their magnetic properties and behaviour under external stimuli
  • Layer morphology and magnetic structure of thin film functional heterostrucures and lateral patterns
  • Magnetic proximity effects across interfaces in heterostructures of dissimilar materials 
  • Physical mechanisms of interlayer exchange coupling and magnetic order in thin film multilayers 
  • Polarised neutron reflectomtery and off-specular scattering of hard condensed matter systems for magnetism, materials science or applied studies
