Manuel Vázquez, ICMM-CSIC researcher, honored as Distinguished Lecturer bythe IEEE Magnetics Society 2023

The research professor will give his talk 'Cylindrical Micro- and Nanowires: From Curvature Effects on Magnetization to Sensing Applications' at the most relevant scientific and technical magnetic research centers.

Manuel Vázquez, Ad-Honorem research professor at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM), CSIC, has been chosen as Distinguished Lecturer for 2023 by the IEEE Magnetics Society, the most relevant non-profit technical association worldwide in the field of magnetism in research and innovation activities, communication, publications and education.

During this year, Vázquez will give his talk 'Cylindrical Micro- and Nanowires: From Curvature Effects on Magnetization to Sensing Applications' at the most relevant scientific and technical magnetic research centers. He will summarize the activities carried out in the Group of Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes of the ICMM-CSIC in recent years.

In particular, he will discuss the advances in technical magnetism derived from the magnetic bistability in magnetostrictive microwires or the giant magneto-impedance that non-magnetostrictive ones present, as well as magnetostatic interactions in ordered arrays of nanowires.

On the other hand, he will discuss the current state-of-the-art effects generated by intrinsic cylindrical curvature at the nanoscale. In this regard sense, he will describe the formation of vortex-type or exotic transverse complex domain structures as well as their domain walls, and the magnetization processes controlled through the designed growth of nanowires modulated in diameter or anisotropy that give rise to phenomena such as the magnetization ratchet or the formation of skyrmion tubes.
