Recent Program Highlights

The Center for Materials Innovation (CMI) is committed to enhancing diversity and improving educational opportunities across STEM fields that comprise materials research at UM and beyond. CMI programs include professional development components to enhance student experiences and prepare them for transitions through academia, industry, and government.

Understanding the ultrafast dynamics of charge/spin transitions in magnetic insulators (MI) is crucial for developing new materials interfaces for spin-electronics and quantum information science applications. Supported by CEM, the groups of Yang and Baker reported a femtosecond extreme UV (XUV) spectroscopy of yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12, YIG), one of the important MI garnets for the NM/MI interfaces in this IRG.

The CEM Student Internal Advisory Council advises CEM in the interests of students and postdocs and organizes technical and team-building events.
