Dr. Robert Barklie

Robert Barklie graduated from TCD in 1966 with a First Class Honours degree in Physics.He then moved to the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge University where he obtained a PhD in 1969.From 1969 to 1973 he was a Lecturer in the Physics Department at Makerere University in Uganda and from there he returned to the Cavendish Laboratory for a year as a Postdoctoral Fellow .In 1974 he was appointed a Lecturer in Physics at TCD and later a Senior Lecturer.He retired in September 2008 but continues to research and to be involved in some teaching .

Applications of the techniques of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, Ferromagnetic Resonance and Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance to the characterisation of atomic defects, ions , radicals etc with unpaired electron spin in a wide variety of materials. Current research is focused on 1) the characterisation of atomic defects in high k dielectrics on silicon and 2) the investigation of the magnetic properties of thin films of magnetite and other magnetic materials using primarily the technique of Ferromagnetic Resonance.
