Programming Electronic Transport Measurement Equipment to Study the Dynamics of Magnetic Domains
Serena Eley | serenaeley@mines.edu
Our lab studies the electronic properties of quantum materials. The undergraduate researcher would program electronic transport measurement equipment (e.g., nanovoltmeters, current sources, lock-in amplifiers) to collect a variety of electrical measurements used to study the dynamics of magnetic domains in magnetic materials.
