 November round winner

NT-MDT Co. is happy to present the winner of the November round of the probe images contest ProIMAGE. According to the online voting and decision of the NT-MDT expert team the winner is Miss. Olga Yermolaeva, Institute for Physics of Microstructures RAS, Russia. Please, welcome!

Miss. Olga Yermolaeva works as a junior researcher in Institute for Physics of Microstructures RAS in  Nizhniy Novgorod (Russia). Her scientific activity is devoted to magnetic-force microscopy of different ferromagnetic nanoobjects. The latest research of Miss. Yermolaeva were aimed at investigation of cruciform ferromagnetic particles. Such systems have wide range of metastable states due to its unusual form.

Scan #139 “The MFM image of antivortex state in Co crosslike structure” has brought the November victory to its author. The champion image was obtained by GOLDEN series probe NSG01/Co. Scan size is 1,7 x 1,7 µm.

Scan #139 Scan size 1,7 x 1,7 µm

NT-MDT Co. congratulates Miss. Olga Yermolaeva on the victory and wishes her success in such an interesting sphere of the research she chose.

And as always by the decision of NT-MDT expert team the authors of TOP-10 images get NT-MDT souvenirs (4 GB flash memory stick with a laser pointer). So welcome their authors:   Miss.
