Front cover feature for research on magnetisation reversal

PhD student Craig Barton and Prof. Tom Thomson's work has recently been published in the Journal of Applied Physics as a featured article which made the front cover. The image shows the magnetisation reversal data for multiple thin layers of directional colbalt/ palladium. The reversibility of these systems is important for the development of future nanoscale technologies such as bit patterned media (BPM) recording and spin-torque transfer (STT) devices.
