The Yurii Simonov Memorial Prize winner 2015


The Yurii Simonov Memorial Prize for 2015 was awarded to Dr. Viorel Felea for pioneering ultrasound spectroscopy investigations of novel field-induced structural transitions in complex magnetic materials performed in high magnetic fields up to 65 T. His work helps in  elucidating the role of the spin-lattice coupling and of the mechanisms of the spin and orbital induced transformations in ternary magnetic spinels perspective for spintronic applications.
