Biography
Raquel Lizárraga is a researcher at the department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Royal Institute of Tecknology in Seden. She has large expertise in ab initio calculations. She has great knowledge on magnetism of transition metals and rare earth systems. She has also studied materials with lack of periodic order, such as glassy systems. She has used an ab-initio method, the stochastic quenching method to study the amorphous structure of glassy materials. Recently she has studied the problem of Co substitution in cemented carbides. By studying stacking fault energies she has been able to identified possible alternative substitutions for Co, which is an important industry problem.
