The redox driven swelling and deswelling of conducting polymers has been termed Electronic Muscle actuation. One application of this property is as a sphincter-like valve in a...

Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture...

The objective of this experiment is the study and characterization of spin-polarized electron states at the interface of EuO and 3d transition metal oxides. EuO is a...

We propose to study cobalt nitride films using PNR with a view to their use in spin injection & spin engineering applications. Such systems have had little attention in the...

We propose to study electrodeposited films, both patterned and unpatterned, of CoNiCu alloy layers interleaved with pure Cu spacer layers. The magnetic layers are engineered...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...

Control of crystallisation is essential for many applications ranging from pharaceuticals to packaging and food preservation, yet remains extremely challenging. Recently we have...

We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be...

We propose a study on the electric field control of uncompensated spins in the Co/BiFeO3/STO bilayer system by PNR. Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) has attracted enormous interest...

The behaviour of multiple polymers in competition for colloidal silica has previously been investigated in our group using solvent relaxation nuclear magnetic resonance. We...

Currently one of the biggest challenges in spintronics is the generation and control of a spin polarized current at room temperature. Spin injection from europium monoxide is of...

Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....

NiO has useful electronic, magnetic and catalytic properties. It is also used in creation of OxRRAM¿s, that are considered as a better alternative to Flash memory due its...

The spin Seebeck effect generates spin currents in various materials when they are subjected to a temperature gradient. These spin currents persist over length scales many...

We propose to study Fe based tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) structures. TAMR is a newly discovered effect potentially combining advantages of the anisotropic MR...

Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property...
