Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yousra Nahas's research investigates topological phases and phase transitions in polar oxide nanostructures. Her work has focused on the creation and manipulation of exotic electronic and magnetic structures, including skyrmions and solitons, within ultrathin ferroelectric films. She has published on the integration of switchable polar nanodomains onto silicon substrates and the dynamical control of topology in polar skyrmions using twisted light.

Her research also explores ferroelectric phase-transition frustration near tricritical points and the formation of freestanding ferroelectric bubble domains. Nahas has experience with fabricating and characterizing these materials, utilizing techniques such as atomic force microscopy. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24, with 87 total publications and 2,482 total citations. She has a significant publication record with key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sergei Prokhorenko and Laurent Bellaiche.
