In a soft magnetic material the directions of the internal magnetic moments are easily changed by an external magnetic field while in a hard magnetic material they are not. In a...

Salivary films are (mostly) proteinaceous nm-thick films that form on any type of surface upon exposure to saliva. The role of the pellicle is manifold. Among its functions,...

A superfluid helium film can host a variety of exotic quantum phenomena, such as the topological Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, Rollins film flow and “Third sound”....

Several interesting results have emerged in studies of Aerosol-OT at the sapphire/solution interface that relate to effects of counter-ions, insensitivity to pH as well as the...

Polyamide-imides are an important class of engineering polymers whose applications often call for high wear resistance whilst maintaining suitable lubrication. An understanding...

Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as...

We have found it possible to deposit mesostructured surfactant templated polymer thin films on solid substrates. To date the majority of work has used hexadecyltrimethylammonium...

We propose a measurement of the effectiveness of using the RF flippers on Offspec in a quasi-elastic mode (theta=90°) with the RF at 0.5MHz. This is important to our future...

Engine oils act to lubricate and protect moving parts in an engine. They act to reduce friction and reduce emissions. A major class of friction reducing additives are organic...

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