Summary on Grant Application Form
The Wolfson Centre for Magnetics Technology is internationally recognised as a leading group which has successfully carried out applied research in the general field of properties and applications of soft magnetic materials over the last 25 years. The Centre has world class research infrastructure to carry out such research, but it has increasing difficulty in finding and retaining specialised researchers. The research area is expected to become even more demanding so it is essential to consolidate and identify the group's future niche research areas now.It is proposed to create a supporting platform to enable the group to consolidate its present portfolio of unique interrelated research activities and to effectively develop future research themes. Vital skilled research staff would be retained and valuables collaborative projects would be set up with leading international overseas research groups working in complementary areas. Two specialised senior research staff would be engaged to work closely with the applicants to ensure that world class and industrially relevant research will be carried out at the Centre using the infrastructure provided by the recent JIF award. The retained staff would interact closely with students working on associated speculative research on magnetic thin film/microwire characterisation for future generations of magnetic sensors and characterisation and performance of new types of soft magnetic materials in power devices, particularly at high frequency or induction and in novel assemblies or applications.
