Welcome!

Welcome to the Nanomagnetism Research Group's web page.

We are a Condensed Matter Physics Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba.

Quantum magnetism in nanoscale systems is the overarching theme of our research programs. They exist at the exciting convergence of materials physics and chemistry. We use cutting edge experimental and theoretical/simulation techniques to make, identify and understand the quantum interactions and their relationships in nanoscaled systems. We study nanoparticles and thin films in ordered and disordered structures and assemblies, exploring new physics from spin-glass and frustrated nanomagnetism, to dipolar-driven nanomagnetsm. We also play with magnetic materials with similar constrained geometries (e.g. molecular magnets). The group's research programs involve active collaborations with world-class experts in physics, chemistry and engineering. We also pursue actively (often through collaborations with industry) research enabling applications of nanomagnetic and nanoscale systems; neuromorphic and physical reservoir computing, new catalytic materials, and power applications are examples.
