In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a... -
Operando neutron reflectometry of lithiated silicon protected by an artificia...
Besides green energy harvest the storage of energy is one major problem in modern world. The state-of-the-art battery systems nearly reached their theoretical limit. Therefore... -
Neutron reflectivity studies on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) open up new perspectives in the solar cell market. The morphology of the active layer of PSCs plays a crucial role on the corresponding devices... -
Electrostatic Interactions between Floating Bilayers and Thiol Coated Interfa...
Bilayers which float below a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coated solid support represent one of the most advanced membrane mimetics. Recently (RB 1720155) we assessed the... -
Direct measurement of the spin Seebeck effect
The spin Seebeck effect is an exciting new development in the field of spintronics and future energy saving materials. The application of a small temperature gradient in a... -
Polymer brush profiles using off-specular reflection from the walls of trenches
Nature frequently uses charged, weak-polyelectrolyte brushes at interfaces to control surface function and properties; surface wetting, lubrication, to limit deposition of... -
Investigating artificial multiferroic structures using polarised neutron refl...
Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that... -
Probing possible p-wave superconductivity in Bi/Ni bilayers
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing... -
Operando study of SEI formation using different electrolytes
During the first cycle of an alkali battery, a passivation layers forms on the electrode surface called the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which can grow upon further... -
Interlayer coupling in YIG/NiO/Pt trilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin... -
Depth profiling high efficiency non-fullerene acceptor polymer solar cell blends
We would like to evaluate the vertical depth concentration profile for a blend of two materials that make a relatively high efficiency polymer solar cell device. Measurements of... -
Tuning Emergent Magnetisation Dynamics in Interconnected Nanomagnets
Access to OFFSPEC is requested to investigate emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. When these ensembles are subjected to... -
