Growth UK is an NTPMI supported initiative which seeks to bring together Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) in the UK Thin Film Growth and Deposition community through a programme of online talks; in-person symposia and best practice sharing.
John Christopher Osborne is a PhD researcher specialising in magnetic thin films, with experience in thin-film sputtering and the development of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. His research focuses on manipulating magnetic textures, including skyrmions and domain walls, using acoustic waves and electrical currents, with the aim of developing new approaches for magnetic device technologies.
Thomas Moore is an Associate Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy with research activity in nanomagnetism, spintronics and artificial multiferroics. In his group thin layers of magnetic materials and ferroelectric materials are made by sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. The combination of the two materials – an artificial multiferroic – has the potential for voltage control of magnetism and applications in electronic devices that exploit the spin of the electron. He co-supervises John’s PhD.
Dr Moore and Mr Osborne will be delivering a talk on Magnetic multilayer films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering
