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... -
A PNR study of cobalt nitride films for spin injection and spin engineering 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... -
Characterisation of electrodeposited CoNiCu multilayer mesostructures for bio...
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... -
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization in GaAs by electrical spin injection
We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron... -
Electric field effect on the interfacial uncompensated spins in the Co/BiFeO3...
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... -
Study of ferromagnet-topological insulator interfaces
We aim at studying the interface between a ferromagnetic (FM) thin film and a topological insulator (TI). For accessing the spin-polarised state in a TI system via current... -
Magnetic properties of EuO/Fe interface
EuO is a model ferromagnet, with great potential in spintronics, but also of great interest from a theoretical point of view. Here we propose to study the magnetic proximity... -
EuO tunnel barriers and metallic interfaces
The tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of a magnetic tunnelling junction is influenced by many different factors, one of which is hybridization at the metal/oxide interface. We... -
La dopped EuO
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... -
Influence of minority-spin surface resonance on tunnelling anisotropic magnet...
We propose to study Fe based tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) structures. TAMR is a newly discovered effect potentially combining advantages of the anisotropic MR...
