Room temperature biskyrmions in non-chiral thin film MnNiGa
Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense... -
µSR studies of free radical reactions by non-thermal microwave effects
We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively... -
Understanding the role of strain and applied field in the metamagnetic transi...
FeRh exhibits a fascinating structural and magnetic transition from room temperature antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at higher temperatures. This complex transition is... -
Polarised neutron reflectometry measurements in magnetic antidots arrays.
This study aims to observe the magnetic properties of a family of arrays of permalloy antidots. Antidots are grown, by means of magnetron sputtering, on top of an anodised... -
The interaction of Plant Defensins with Model Lipid Membranes : Understanding...
Plants do not have the sophisticated immunoglobulin immune systems of vertibrates, instead they posses a series of stimuli based responses which defend against pathogentic... -
The effect of magnetic structure on ordred/disordered IrMn3 exchange-biasing ...
The exchange biasing effect in the thin film IrMn3/Fe depends strongly on the degree of structural ordering of the underling antiferromagnetic IrMn3 pinning layer. In this work... -
Low field µSR studies of radiation chemistry and free radical reactions by no...
Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation... -
Magnetic ordering at the Verwey transition in bulk like Fe3O4 thin films
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a predicted half-metallic (100% spin polarised) ferromagnet with a high Curie temperature of ~858K. These properties make it well suited to use in... -
Proximity induced magnetisation in topological insulator-antiferromagnetic he...
We aim at investigating a new method to create dissipation less currents. We combine a topological insulator with an antiferromagnet to induce ferromagnetic order in the... -
Magnetic proximity in Semiconductor- Superconductor -Ferromagnetic epitaxial ...
Topological materials hold promise in quantum information processing as a fault tolerant basis for operations and manipulations of quasiparticles that exist at the material... -
Uncompensated moments in antiferromagnetic barriers in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 / La0.3...
Recently, we have demonstrated that a large ferromagnetic moment can be induced at theinsulating barrier (La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 (LC7MO)) separating two... -
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...
