Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing...

We intend to study a new class of materials known as 3D topological insulators. The electronic states in these materials have a non-trivial topology, different to almost all...

In the quest to find high-temperature ferromagnetic topological insulators (TIs), we have explored different transition-metal and rare-earth doped thin film and bulk samples...

In this project we propose to study the adsorption of methane onto a model mineral surface. This type of study is crucial to the understanding of the temperature dependence of...

While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in...

The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from three differently deuterated versions of 8CB....

In this experiment we aim to investigate, using neutron reflectometry in combination with contrast variation, the intermolecular interaction between the nucleic acid, calf...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

We propose to make use of neutron wave guiding effects to enhance interfacial sensitivity and study the spin texture of individual interfaces between ferromagnetically doped...
