Interface of heavy metal layer on a ferromagnetic insulator by PNR
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... -
GISANS from Standard Samples
It is necessary to commission 'standard' GISANS samples to ensure that users can validate their measurements on Sans2d. This was put in as a full proposal at the last round and... -
A new approach to look at membrane in plane organisation via giSANS
Biological membrane in plane organisation is a challenging topic, specially since it has been suggested to depend on curvature. So far the main approach to study curvature... -
Sub-micron structure of conjugated polymer interfaces
There are two contributions to the rms roughness of a polymer-polymer interface; i) the so-called ¿intrinsic interfacial width¿ due to mixing of the polymers at a molecular... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Investigations of Hydration Layers on Cobalt Oxi...
We propose to collect INS data with TOSCA on nanoparticles of CoO and Co3O4 with different levels of hydration and size to study the effect of these parameters on the heat... -
Spin flop in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs
CuMnAs has emerged as a testbed system for studying the interaction between spin-orbit coupled charge carriers and antiferromagnetic order, with potential applications in... -
Morphological Stability of Organic Solar Cell Structures during Aging
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have recently surpassed 10% power conversion efficiency (PCE), a key milestone towards commercialisation. Achieving validated lifetimes beyond 10... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of NeutrAvidin Immobilised onto Ti Implant Surfaces
We ask for 3 days of beam time on Inter/SURF to study the adsorption and adlayer characteristics of avidin on Ti surfaces, relevant for biomedical applications, such as... -
Using SERGIS, SESANS and NR to probe nanoscale cavities created within templa...
Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis.... -
Electric field induced magnetisation in BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 thin films
High quality epitaxial films of the multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 have been prepared using pulsed laser deposition. Using an electric field, we will induce a ferroelectrically...
