Non-destructive evaluation of nanocomposites using magnetic and electromagnetic techniques

This team conducts research on the analysis and optimization of the magnetic and structural properties of nanocomposites by combining two complementary techniques: Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) and Eddy Currents (EC).

VSM enables precise measurement of key parameters such as coercivity, remanence, and saturation magnetization, while monitoring their evolution induced by processes such as mechanical milling or thermal annealing, without altering the samples. On the other hand, EC provides a detailed analysis of electrical conductivity, inductance, and reactance, while also enabling the detection of internal defects or microstructural variations.

By combining these two approaches, the project aims to establish a direct correlation between the magnetic properties and the resulting microstructures, in order to define optimal synthesis conditions. This methodology paves the way for the design of high-performance, reliable nanocomposites tailored for advanced technological applications.
