Advancing Ferromagnetic Research at ICM2024

Aitor Arredondo and Jordi Sort from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, NICKEFFECT’s project partners, participated at the 22nd International Conference on Magnetism (ICM2024) in Bologna Congress Center. This event is the largest gathering of the magnetism community worldwide and promises to showcase the resilience and excellence of the field, from fundamental research to innovative applications. At ICM2024, Aitor Arredondo and Jordi Sort presented their work titled "Composition-dependent voltage-driven OFF-ON switching of ferromagnetism in Co-Ni oxide microdisks.” This research represents a significant advancement in the field of magnetism, exploring innovative methods to manipulate ferromagnetic properties through compositional changes and applied voltage. The presentation highlighted the intricacies of OFF-ON ferromagnetism switching in Co-Ni oxide microdisks. The ability to control ferromagnetic states with precision opens new windows for applications in data storage, spintronics, and magnetic sensing technologies. Attendees expressed a strong interest in the technical aspects of the work, wanting to know more about the mechanisms...

The NICKEFFECT project participated in the Artificial Intelligence for Advanced Materials Conference (AI4AM 2024), held from July 2nd to 4th in the city of Barcelona, Spain. This cross-disciplinary international event brought together top experts from industry and research institutions who utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance discoveries in materials science. The conference's main goal is to refine automated designs for both structural and electronic material models in engineering, focusing on improving interoperability among material databases and enabling reverse material engineering. Konrad Eiler, from NICKEFFECT's project partner Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, did a presentation on the active learning approach used to accelerate experiments as part of the project. Konrad gave some insights on the practical benefits of the Active Learning methodology in guiding experimentalists to find the best conditions for growing Ni-W films for catalysis. Active Learning in Materials Science Konrad's presentation highlighted how AI, particularly Active Learning, significantly aids experimentalists in determining optimal...

The NICKEFFECT consortium got together for the 5th General Assembly meeting on June 13-14, 2024, at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. This gathering marked the midpoint of the 48-month project, bringing together all partners for two full days of updates, discussions, and strategic planning. The meeting focused on a series of presentations that provided a comprehensive overview of the project's progress. Key presentations included: Project Management and Coordination Sustainable-by-Design approach Advancements in developing Coating Materials with tuned porosity and characterization Modelling of Electrodeposition Process Upscale of the production processes, deposition on demonstrators Dissemination, Exploitation, and Guiding & Standardization Materials validation in relevant environments The General Assembly also counted with an exciting visit to the laboratories at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's science faculty. Attendees had the opportunity to observe innovative research facilities and ongoing experiments related to the NICKEFFECT project. As the meeting concluded, the partners had a clear roadmap for the next...
