Lead project designed to determine the effect of changing temperatures on the motion and pinning of magnetic domain walls in spin-torque-transfer devices.Fabricated device samples (R.F. & D.C. Sputtering) and a modular sample mount for thermal and magnetic measurements. Characterized devices: nanosecond current pulse studies, magnetic behavior, memory storage/access capabilities.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Us

Working to develop methods for depositing ferroelectric oxide materials (e.g. lead titanate, lead zirconate titanate) conformally onto high aspect ratio substrates using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Ran personal project starting from process development, including precursor selection and evaluation. Performed material properties characterization, and began optimizing deposition parameters for future applications.
