Group strategy

The group has as strategy: development of existent research directions and the start of new directions in the nanocrystalline/nanostructurated material field; Participation in national and European competition in order to obtain grants; Infrastructure improvement and access at access at other national and European facilities increase of scientific visibility.

 

Areas of expertise
Nanocrystalline and nanocomposite magnetic powders production by mechanical alloying/milling, production of bonded magnets, sintered magnetic materials (soft and hard), obtaining of nanocrystalline compacts (composite and sintered – SPS), consulting in magnetic materials field, materials characterisation, structural, morphological and thermal analysis (X-ray diffraction, SEM + EDX, DTA, DSC+TG).

 

National and International Collaborations
The group has scientific collaboration and facilities for experiments and magnetic/structural measurements at: 

Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca (Brucker D8 diffractometer, magnetic susceptibility balance, electrical resistivity measurements, etc.), 

S.C. Sinterom S.A. (sintering furnaces), 

Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble and Neel Institute, CNRS, Grenoble (TEM, magnetic measurements up to 3 K and in fields up to11 T, DSC, dynamic magnetic measurements at medium and high frequency, etc.), 

Rouen University (Mossbauer spectrometry). 

The group has as well collaborations with INCDFTM Bucharest, ICPE-CA Bucharest, INCDTIM Cluj-Napoca, IFT Iasi, and other international scientific contacts with researchers from France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Slovakia.
