Dr. Jain among two Physicists in Project ‘Daedalus’ that Focuses on Materials for Aerospace in New $4.7 Million Contract

UConn’s collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is launching a new program consisting of eight interconnected projects. This third phase entitled “Multiscale Modeling and Characterization of Metamaterials, Functional Ceramics and Photonics.” is a $4.7 million contract. It seeks to explore and advance the understanding of electronic, photonic, magnetic, and multiferroic variable space, focusing on their applications in the aerospace industry. Two experimental condensed matter physicists Drs. Menka Jain and Ilya Sochnikov will contribute in understanding of magnetic and multiferroic materials and collectively receive more than $1M funding for 3 years.

Jianhang Shi successfully defended his PhD thesis! Congrats Dr. Shi!

Physics graduate student Jacob joined the group for his PhD work. A big welcome Jake!

Congratulations Jianhang for your new article, which is now published in Journal of Applied Physics!! Comparison of the dielectric and magnetocaloric properties of bulk and film of GdFe0.5Cr0.5O3, J. Shi, M.S. Seehra, Y. Dang, S. L. Suib, and M. Jain, J. of Applied Physics, 129 (2021) 243904 (2021).

Jain’s group published a paper with Seehra’s group (West Virginia Univ) entitled “Spin dynamics and relaxation in 7.6 nm thin film of La₇Sr_0.3MnO₃/SrTiO₃: ac magnetic susceptibility and magnetic viscosity investigations” in the Journal of Applied Physics. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0017765

Jain’s group published a paper with He’s group entitled “Crystalline Mesoporous Perovskite-Type Oxides: Porosity-Controlled Electromagnetic Response” in Advanced Functional Materials. 10.1002/adfm.201909491 https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201909491

Jianhang’s paper entitled “Antiferromagnetic and dielectric behavior in polycrystalline GdFe_0.5Cr_0.5O₃ thin film” got published in Applied Physics Letters Materials. Congrats Jianhang!. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5142177
