email: sara.laureti@ism.cnr.it | Ph: (+39) 0690672651
Sara LAURETI is graduated in Chemistry (110/110 cum laude) at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” (2004) and she has got a PhD in Material Science at University of Rome “La Sapienza” (2007) with athesis titled “Magnetic anisotropy in Co-based thin films”, the research activity being carried out at ISM- CNR where she’s currently working as Permanent Researcher. Since the beginning of her scientific career her work was devoted to the study of magnetic materials modulated at the nanoscale for important technological applications. In particular, she was involved in a many National and European Projects and she spent six months at the Institute Néel, in Grenoble (Supervisor D. Givord) studying the effects of the size confinement in magnetically exchange coupled systems. She was the coordinator of a national FIRB project entitled “Tailoring the magnetic anisotropy of nanostructures for enhancing the magnetic stability of magnetoresistive devices” and was the principal investigator of a 2-years BAG project at the EXAFS beamline (LISA, ESRF, Grenoble) titled “Correlation between atomic ordering and magnetic properties in binary magnetic alloys”. She is author of about 40 papers on ISI journals and conference proceedings, focused on the fabrication and study of the magnetic properties of nanostructured thin films and multilayers, nanoparticles and patterned systems.
