Local probing of low−dimensional dilute magnetic materials KU Leuven
The proposed research program is devoted to low−dimensional magnetic materials. Model systems consist of non-magnetic materials (with emphasis on 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional semiconductors and insulators) that are magnetically doped. The main goal is to provide a detailed understanding of the local structure, local magnetism and how they are coupled, using complementary local probe techniques based on intense particle beams (radioactive ...

Modelling the relation between microstructure (including texture) and magnetic properties of polycrystalline softmagnetic materials on Fe-base Ghent University
Searching for the fundamental relations between microstructure, including texture characterization, of electrical steel and their magnetic properties, aiming the elaboration of a model allowing the development of adapted production routes for advanced electrical steel.
Magnetic non destructive evaluation of ferromagnetic materials supported by numerical micromagnetic methods Ghent University
We aim at identifying and evalutating of the relation between the microstructural properties and macroscopic magnetic behaviour of ferromagnetic materials by experimentally and mathematically validated micromagnetic models. We develop innovative non destructive evaluation techniques for identifying microstructural parameters which are difficult to be measured directly, using inverse numerical methods, starting from the macroscopic magnetic ...
800 MHz solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer for materials and food science KU Leuven
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy probes the chemical environment of atoms in matter by subjecting it to a strong magnetic field and communicating with a selection of its atoms using “radio signals”. With the present investment KU Leuven acquires a top level solid state NMR spectrometer (800 MHz), unique in Flanders, as part of its ambition to lead NMR technology development in collaboration with a world leading spectrometer ...
Geometric, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Doped Silicon Clusters, and Development of a Magnetic Deflection Setup KU Leuven
The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to provide deeper understanding on the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of gas phase clusters as a function of size and composition using a combination of the spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thesis is divided into four parts. A review of recent research on the structural identification of doped silicon clusters is given in Part I. In ...
