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... -
Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
Diffuse scattering from doped zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is an important wide band gap semiconductor material used in a diverse range of industrial applications, many of which require both n-type and p-type components. It... -
Phase Separation in Organic Photovoltaic Cells
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art solution-processed... -
Acceptor-doped BiFeO3: Oxide Ion Conduction and Possible Structural Disorder.
2 days of beamtime is requested on Polaris to study the defect structure of an oxide-ion conductor Bi1-xBaxFeO3-x/2. RT total neutron scattering studies on samples heat treated... -
The Effect of Polydispersity on the Self Assembly of Diblock Copolymers
Block copolymers are of interest due to their ability to undergo microphase separation. Originally block copolymers were produced with a low polydispersity index (PDI) as they... -
Surface segregation and topographical excitation in stoichiometric polymer:fu...
