Theory group seminar on "The effect of defects on magnetic droplet nucleation", SPEAKER: Federico ETTORI, AFFILIATION: Politecnico di Milano, Italy.PS 128ABSTRACT: Defects and impurities strongly affect the timing and the character of the (re)ordering or disordering transitions of thermodynamic systems captured in metastable states. In this talk, we analyse the case of two-dimensional magnetic systems. We adapt the classical JMAK theory to account for the effects of defects on the free energy barriers, the critical droplet area and the associated metastable time. The resulting predictions are successfully tested against the Monte-Carlo simulations performed by adopting Glauber dynamics, to obtain reliable time-dependent results during the out-of-equilibrium transformations. We also focus on finite-size effects and study how the spinodal line (separating the single-droplet from the multi-droplet regime) depends on the system size, the defect fraction, and the external field. |

UKRI Deadlines
Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.
The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:
EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship
EPSRC Working with overseas scientists
