Title
Cross Magneto-Mechanical Effects in Amorphous Solids with Magnetic Degrees of Freedom
Abstract : Metallic glasses with magnetic components exhibit fascinating cross-effects between mechanical and magnetic responses. Magnetostriction and Barkhausen Noise are just a few of these effects. I will describe microscopic models of magnetic glasses and a theory to explain some of the interesting effects that are typical to such systems.Short Biography of the speaker: Dr. Bhaskar Sen Gupta has done his BSc and MSc at the University of North Bengal. He completed his PhD with Prof. Shankar P Das at Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2012 and joined as a post-doctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute. In 2015 he took up another post-doctoral fellowship at Yale University and continues to work there. Dr. Sen Gupta's research interests include granular assemblies magnetic properties of magnetic amorphous solids plasticity of metallic glasses structural relaxation & dynamic heterogeneity of supercooled liquids and polymer glasses.
