Research Interests

  • Research interests involve the use of different experimental techniques to produce non-equilibrium/metabase materials and characterisation of their magnetic, thermal, structural properties. Recent areas of research include:
    • Soft and hard magnetic behaviours in nanocrystalline systems.
    • Nanostructural formation mechanism in rapidly-solidified materials.
    • Magneto-transport properties of magnetic materials.

    Selected Publications

    • Random magnetocrystalline anisotropy in two-phase nanocrystalline systems. K. Suzuki and J. Cadogan, Phys. Rev. B, 58, 2730(1998).
    • Two-stage nanostructural formation process in Fe-Nb-B soft magnetic alloys. K. Suzuki, J. Cadogan, J.B. Dunlop and V Sahajwalla, Appl. Phys. Lett., 67, 1369 (1995).
