| Event Name | Date, Time and Host | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Tunable collective magnetism in artificial spin ice via geometry and molecular decorations |
Abstract: Artificial spin ice systems are engineered arrays of nanoscale ferromagnetic islands that provide a versatile platform for exploring geometric frustration, emergent magnetic phenomena, and collective behavior. The interactions between individual island… Show more Speaker: Prof. Nick Bingham, University of Maine |

| Harnessing MURR Thermal Neutrons for Materials R&D: From Characterization to Modification |
Abstract: Thermal neutrons are conventionally used to characterize materials. But can they also be harnessed to actively modify materials and improve their functionality? This talk explores how thermal neutrons at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR)… Show more Speaker: Dr. Ha M. Nguyen, MURR, University of Missouri |

| Writing in altermagnetic spintronics with light |
Abstract: Altermagnets are a new class of magnets with zero net magnetization and no stray fields, but with strong spin polarization that depends on momentum. That suits spintronic memory devices: the spin polarization gives a good readout. Writing, however, has… Show more Speaker: Dr. Mohsen Yarmohammadi, Department of Physics, Georgetown University |
