2023-04-14: Welcome to Elisavet Papadopoulou
 | We welcome Elisavet Papadopoulou to our team, who will work on her Master thesis in NanoEngineering. With the help of Dr. Natalia Shkodich, she will focus on the synthesis of novel room temperature CoMnFeNiIn high entropy alloys by High energy ball milling and study their structural, chemical and magnetic properties.
We wish a success in her research and excellent results! |

2023-03-29: New publication in "Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects": https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1goto,rVMJnm~Z2444
 | In our trilateral Armenian, German, Greek project "MaNaCa" we discovered an interesting magnetic composite:Carbon-encapsulated iron-cementite (Fe/Fe3C) magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by an upscalable solid-state pyrolysis method using iron phthalocyanine as a precursor. The dependence of the structure, morphology and magnetic properties on the pyrolysis conditions is presented. Thenanocomposite contains nanoparticles made of cementite with a small fraction of iron, with an averagediameter of 15 nm embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix.A 3 nm thick graphite shell is formed on the surface of the particles. The volume fraction of α-Feincreases almost linearly on increasing pyrolysis temperature: from 0.5% for the sample synthesizedat 800°C up to 11% for a 900°C pyrolysis temperature, resulting in an increase of the saturationmagnetization from 14.0 to 17.74 Am2/kg and a decrease of the coercivity from 49.34 to 10.74 kA/m |

2022-10-16: New Publication on a high entropy alloy soft magnet
 | Soft magnets - that is magnets with a low coercivity - find many applications in sensorics and automobile industry for example. Here a mechanical and environmental robustness is of extreme importance - properties which high entropy alloys provide. Magnetism in such alloys has become a major focus of research in HEAs. In our recent publication we show how to tune magnetic properties in nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiGax (x = 0.5, 1.0) High Entropy Alloys by mechanical treatment. |
