Mr James Sagar

Research Interests

James Sagar joined the Quantum Nanoelectronics group as a PhD student in July 2010. He received his MPhys in Physics at the University of York in 2010. As an undergraduate, he studied Optimization of Perpendicular Exchange Bias in [Co/Pt] Multilayers as his final year project.

His present research interest is the demonstration of high-frequency oscillation in a Co-based Heusler alloy tunnel junction. He is currently funded by the EPSRC and the JST as part of a joint UK-Japan co-operative program, in collaboration with National Institute for Materials Science. Under the supervision of Dr Hirohata and Prof O'Grady, he will fabricate a Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ) using Heusler Alloy electrodes in order to demonstrate very large Tunnelling Magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios at room temperature.
