Mikel Quintana receives the Extraordinary Doctorate Award 2024

17/07/2024

Mikel Quintana, researcher in the Nanomagnetism group at CIC nanoGUNE, has been awarded with the Extraordinary Doctorate Award 2024 in the area of Sciences of the UPV/EHU for his thesis Phase Transitions in Nanoscale Designed Magnetic Thin Films.

Mikel Quintana has completed his thesis between 2019 and 2023, which has been led by Dr. Andreas Berger and carried out in the Nanomagnetism group of CIC nanoGUNE and the Ph.D. Program in Nanostructure Physics and Advanced Materials of the UPV/EHU.

In this project, the researcher designed, fabricated and studied thin film structures with novel magnetic properties, which have allowed him to access previously unexplored phenomena. With the support of the research facilities at the CIC nanoGUNE, Dr. Quintana has focused his research on the experimental characterization of phase transitions in ferromagnetic materials, a phenomenon in which a material exhibits an abrupt change in its behavior upon changing some parameter, such as the temperature. Characterizing such novel thin film structures, it has been shown one can observe aspects only studied theoretically until now and modify different characteristics of such phase transitions. Such observations can potentially impact the design of novel magnetic devices and future related technologies.

This project has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under the Maria de Maeztu Units of Excellence Programme (Grant No. CEX2020-001038-M), Project No. PID2021-123943NB-I00 (OPTOMETAMAG), and the Predoctoral Fellowship No. PRE2019-088428.
