July 23, 2019: Publication of a research study demonstrating how a classical paramagnetic material can be converted into a magnetized insulator. More information available on the Americal Chemical Society's (ACS) internet site.
September 21, 2018: Experimental and computational high-pressure study, conducted in collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, revises the P-T-phase diagram of the classical ferroelectric perovskite. Data were collected up to 25GPa down to 5 K temperatures.
September 1, 2018: Reciprocal Engineering - RE Ltd. starts a project on thin film RF-devices.
May 15, 2017: A subsidiary company of FRE, Reciprocal Engineering - RE Ltd. founded. RE focuses on new materials and thin film devices.
April 2, 2017: A new thin film material system compatible with semiconductor industry requirements was developed and tested by FRE and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers. By adjusting the composition functionally different single phase crystalline materials can be deposited, examples include room-temperature ferromagnetic insulators and conductors. Good news for multilayer device developers are that detrimental interfacial defects characteristic to interfaces between functionally different layers are avoided. Potential applications are tunable rf-components, spintronic devices and memory cells. Only RoHS-directive compliant elements with traceable origin were used. For semiconductor industry the advantage is that iron, a common and harmful impurity in silicon based industry, is not used in the compound.
September 9, 2016: A study of the crystal distortion in nickel-cobalt-titanate system is available on the Inorganic Chemistry website.
February 17, 2016: Two research papers, related to our sustainable material and analytical method development projects, were published.
We give an example of our sustainable materials development in Hong Kong at EMN Ceramics Meeting 2016. Meet us on January 25-28, 2016!
