The Nanostructured Magnetic Materials Research Group led by Professor J. Ping Liu at the University of Texas at Arlington.

The significant increase of applications of advanced materials has created a great demand for deliberate exploration to nanostructured magnetic materials. Our group is currently working on hard and soft magnets spanning all four dimensions –  nanoparticles (0D), nanorods and nanowires (1D), thin films and multilayers (2D), and nanostructured bulk magnets (3D).
