Recently, the magnetoelectronic materials and devices (MEMT) team, led by Prof. Run-Wei Li,has established a series of remarkable progresses in the area of organic/polymeric RRAMs. Prof. Li and his group observed stable resistive switching phenomena in a new polyimide material bearing 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole pendant unities, and identified the electron donor-acceptor (D-A) cha...
11/07/2012Magnetocaloric Effect in Gd Based Bulk Metallic Glass
In Prof. Juan Du's recent research, when tuning the composition of Ni and Al in Gd55NixAl45-x BMGs by changing Ni/Al ratio, the system behavior changed from ferromagnetic to spin glass. A ferromagnetic SG behavior was observed for glassy ribbons with compositions of x=15, 20, and 25, but it disappeared for that of x=30. Furthermore, the maximum magnetic entropy change (ΔSmM...
