Role in project

At RU PhD student 8 will carry out data base screening with first-principles computations to search for novel promising thermomagnetic materials. At the initial stage PhD student 8 will develop and implement the screening criteria, building on input of the other project partners (secondment at Magneto). The optimisation effort with be carried out in collaboration DUK (secondment at DUK). Results will benefit the materials development at BAM, TU Delft and CNR (secondment).
