Access to OFFSPEC is requested to investigate emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. When these ensembles are subjected to... -
Studies of Muon-Beam-Induced currents in semi-imsulating GaAs
This proposal is a continuation of our recent proposal RB 610004 where this partcurrent measurements) was not completed due to the reduced beam intensity. Currents experiment... -
Substrate-dependent structure of grafted polymer films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We explore PEG-based... -
Spin excitations in the superconducting FeTe0.6Se0.4
The FeTe1-xSex series exhibits superconductivity over a broad range of doping. Previously we have made extensive neutron scattering measurements on superconducting x = 0.49 and... -
Investigating the response of lipid bilayers to physically structured substrates
The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid... -
PNR determination of magnetic interface states in ultrathin FePt/FeRh films
We propose to use polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of thin (< 10nm) exchange coupled FePt/FeRh films. FePt/FeRh is... -
