Dr. Irena Nevjestic is the Research Facility Manager of the SPIN-Lab in the Department of Materials. SPIN-Lab is a state-of-the-art hub of magnetic characterisation and includes equipment for the study of strongly coupled and isolated spins. The main characterisation techniques are Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS) based on Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) technology, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Hall effect system. She is point of contact for all bookings and enquires for the SPIN-Lab.
Irena holds a MSc in Physics from University of Zagreb (Croatia) with research experience in magnetic and transport properties as a material characterisation method. During the internship at GREMI Laboratories at University of Orleans (France) she was working on the laser/surface interaction: nano-structuring of thin layers by pulsed lasers, study of ripples, recrystallization of metallic surfaces and semiconductors. During her PhD in Physics at Ghent University (Belgium) she gained expertise in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopies, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
