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...

In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a...

Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

In order to realise the technological potential of skyrmion-based spintronics, thin film materials with high ordering temperatures and controlled skyrmion size are needed. The...

To observe the Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect, unlock the exciting potential of magneto-electric effects, robust ferromagnetic doping of topological insulators has to be...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense...

The spin Seebeck effect is an exciting new development in the field of spintronics and future energy saving materials. The application of a small temperature gradient in a...

We have recently used Polref in to measure the assembly of tethered floating lipid bilayers. These are useful models of biological membranes in which a phospholipid bilayer is...

Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that...

We propose to investigate the temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layer thickness in amorphous ferromagnetic CoFeTaB films on Si and GaAs semiconductor substrates. Magnetic...

Softwood hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan, GGM) is one of the major plant polysaccharides found in cell walls after cellulose. It makes up to 25% of the wood in Sweden,...

Coexistence between the phenomena of superconductivity and ferromagnetism relies on mechanisms such as spin triplet superconductivity. Through spin scattering events, a...

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