On Saturday 11th October ALBA is celebrating its 2014 Open Day. During the whole day, visitors will be able to explore the facility and discover its functions and applications. The tour will also include demonstrations and activities for all ages.
From September 8th until September 28th, undergraduate students interested in doing an internship in the ALBA Synchrotron can submit a proposal.
A group of international researchers from Switzerland, Spain, Italy and France have studied the so-called spin-orbit fields mechanisms for in-plane current induced magnetization reversal of magnetic tunnel junctions, and their optimization. This work continues a research line open by the previous recent discovery of in-plane current induced magnetization reversal. The main investigation via transport measurements was complemented with XAS and XMCD performed at BOREAS beamline in the ALBA Synchrotron, to trace at the atomic level the evolution of the sample properties upon thermal annealing leading to enhanced response. Results have been published in the journal Physical Review B.
ALBA Synchrotron is interested in brilliant students to perform their PhD thesis in synchrotron light related subjects.
A week-long oPAC advanced School on Accelerator Optimization took place from 7th to 11th July 2014. The event was hosted by Royal Holloway University of London (UK) and was joined by around 80 delegates from across Europe, including ALBA staff from the Accelerator division.
