SOUL: Stellar evOlution in fUll gLory: rotation, magnetism, oscillations, outflows, tides, and binarity KU Leuven
Asteroseismology of Kepler B stars: internal magnetism and nonlinear mode coupling KU Leuven
In this project we will develop new theoretical insights from nonlinear asteroseismology and the inclusion of magnetic fields in linear asteroseismology. Our main aims are to exploit the observed combination frequencies and amplitudes detected in the light curves of B stars measured by the NASA Kepler space telescope and to exploit deviations from regular (period spacing) patterns caused by a magnetic field to improve stellar interior ...
Magnetism of two-dimensional electron systems modified by ion implantation KU Leuven
LOCAL CHARGE-SPIN-PHONON CORRELATIONS IN VOLTAGE CONTROLLED MAGNETISM KU Leuven
How electron correlations determine the magnetism and electronic excited states of transition metal oxide clusters KU Leuven
The effect of weak magnetism on the shape of the 114In beta energy spectrum KU Leuven
The Standard Model of particle physics has proven to be extremely successful in describing our world at the smallest scales. However, despite its tremendous successes there remain some open questions to be solved. The Standard Model has throughout its history been shaped by the results of precision studies of (nuclear) beta decay. Today, these precision studies remain one of many complementary paths to look for promising hidden clues for ...
Effect of oxidation on the magnetism of cobalt and chromium clusters probed by Stern-Gerlach deflection KU Leuven
Clusters are nano-sized aggregates of a countable number of atoms, and have physical properties that can be substantially different from their bulk counterparts and vary - possibly drastically - with composition. Interestingly, clusters of many more compositions can be created than those available in the bulk. The overall objective of my research was to investigate the influence of oxidation on the magnetic properties of small neutral cobalt ...
Interplay of superconductivity and magnetism in rare-earth nitride films KU Leuven
Superconductivity was given its name over 100 years ago because of its most obvious property: the loss of all electrical resistance below a certain critical temperature. This discovery was exciting, since it meant the possibility of energy transport without any losses. It took researchers over 20 years to realize that superconductors are more than just perfect conductors, they are also materials that expel magnetic fields, called perfect ...
Magnetometry Network: complementary European technical platforms and competence centers in the field of magnetism KU Leuven
Objective
The magnetometer Network (MagNet) aims to bring together complementary European technical plateforms and competence centers in the field of magnetism. At a first stage, the partners of this NoI will be located in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, and Netherland. However, technically, the service can be provided to any customer in Europe since samples can travel by mail (or made in one academic MagNet partner’s ...
