Dr. Juliano Denardin, a researcher at Cedenna and faculty member in the Department of Physics at the University of Santiago de Chile, participated in the First International Symposium on Three-Dimensional Nanomagnetism (“3DMAG 2026”), held July 13–17 in Vienna, Austria.
3DMAG 2026 was the first edition of this international symposium dedicated exclusively to three-dimensional nanomagnetism and brought together specialists in nanofabrication, magnetic characterization, theoretical modeling, spin topology, magnetization dynamics, spintronics, and magnetic nanodevices.
Dr. Denardin was the only South American whose work was presented at this international scientific event, which he described as “an excellent opportunity to hear from leading scientists in nanomagnetism and spintronics, visit state-of-the-art laboratories (such as those of the 3DNano group), talk with other researchers, and discuss potential international collaborations.”
A Line of Research with Future Applications
The Cedenna researcher presented the paper “Geometry-Stabilized Skyrmions and Forc Hall Analysis in Curved Pt/Co/Ta Nanodomes,” which examines the behavior of magnetic structures known as skyrmions on curved surfaces formed by nanodomes and coated with layers of platinum, cobalt, and tantalum.
This field of research investigates how the incorporation of these new shapes and topologies can generate physical behaviors not found in two-dimensional systems and can contribute to the development of information storage technologies, sensors, spintronic devices, unconventional computing, and applications related to biomagnetism.
The study presented by Dr. Denardin relates to the search for new ways to control extremely small magnetic structures by designing their geometry. Skyrmions are stable configurations of a material’s magnetic moments and are being investigated for their potential use as information units in future data storage and processing devices.
