Congratulations to Charley Bull on successfully defending her thesis and being awarded a PhD. Charley’s work (thesis: “Development of MTJs and antiferromagnetic materials for spintronic applications”) focused on studying the sputter deposition conditions required to fabricate magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) and investigating the thin films properties using a number of characterisation techniques. In addition, Charley investigated the effect of topography and strain on the magnetic properties of FeRh thin fils as the thickness is reduced.

Well done Charley!
