Surfactants at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer... -
PNR measurements of the induced magnetisation in nanocarbon.
Nanocarbon materials such as C60 show fascinating transport properties when in contact with a ferromagnet. Previous results indicate that this could be due to a spin polarized... -
PNR study on the uncompensated layer at the interface of ferromagnetic and an...
Spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, based on a structure of free ferromagnet (FM)/nonmagnetic metal or insulator/pinned FM, have been extensively used in magnetic field... -
Study of canted magnetic states in GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers
Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been a subject of considerableinterest in recent years, given the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between RE... -
Interface between FeF2 and Bi2Se3
One of the current challenges in solid state physics is the observation and ultimately control of the Majorana excitations sometimes called Majorana fermions. Devices based on... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,... -
A study of the induced magnetism in Pd-Ni nanoparticles
Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite... -
Study of non collinear magnetic states in GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers
We propose to study polarised neutron reflectivity from a GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers. Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been subject of considerable...
