Malena Martinez Cameros

Profile

I studied my undergraduate in physics, my masters in atomic, nuclear and molecular physics, and my second masters in particle physics at the University of Granada. I moved to London to do research in neutron spectroscopy at Royal Holloway, University of London. I am currently a second year PhD student at the condensed matter department in Leeds and my supervisors are professors Gavin Burneal and Bryan Hickey. I have diplomas in Spanish, English and French. I can code in c++, Fortran and Python.

Research interests

My research is focused in the study of the enhancement of spin signals in pure spin currents. I study the scattering effects in special structures called Lateral Spin Valves (LSV’s) to obtain insight into spin transport, scattering events and the importance of the amount of doping and position of impurities of high SOC, that have been purposefully added to those structures, to enhance the spin signal detected in them. Several materials such as Cu and Ag will be used as NM channel and permalloy as ferromagnets in the detector and the injector channel of the LSV.
