Accompanied by the General Director for Research, the Minister (Consellera) for Research and Universities from the Generalitat de Catalunya has visited today the ALBA Synchrotron, where she also held a meeting with the director, the manager and the honorary president of ALBA.
A multinational research project led by the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) in Seoul, introduced a method to measure the multi-electron states of isolated magnetic atoms. Among others, data obtained at BOREAS beamline in ALBA has been key for answering the question: which orbitals do the electrons occupy?
“Acelerando electrones” (accelerating electrons) is a new science podcast produced by the ALBA Synchrotron and Cugat Mèdia, with the collaboration of the FECYT. The podcast includes 6 episodes to explain what a synchrotron is, what its applications are and how ALBA everyday life is like. Don't miss “Acelerando electrones”, the fastest science explained slowly!
Researchers from the Physics Department of the Universidad de Oviedo, CINN-CSIC and HZB, in collaboration with ALBA, have explored the magnetic configuration of ferrimagnetic structures often employed to build modern spintronic devices and magnetic recording media. At the MISTRAL beamline of ALBA, using vector magnetic tomography, a magnetic trilayer fabricated at Oviedo was characterized. These findings will permit to generate precise physical models describing the magnetic behaviour of this type of systems and control and exploit them for the design of spintronics and magnetic storage devices.
A study led by ICREA researchers and ALBA users Daniel Maspoch and Inhar Imaz has found out a novel approach to synthesise molecular structures that can allow material scientists to design and build a set of new materials. A crucial part of the experiment, the structural determination of the compounds, was performed at the XALOC beamline of the ALBA Synchrotron.
