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,... -
Neutron scattering from topological magnetic structures in Fe1-xCoxSi
FeSi is a member of the transition metal (TM) monosilicides. The crystal structure is isostructural from MnSi through to CoSi with magnetic properties that alter dramatically... -
Polarized neutron reflectivity investigation of Fe+ ion irradiated FeCr films
For Fusion energy applications FeCr ferritic martensitic steels are candidate structural materials due to their radiation resistance and good mechanical properties. Thus, the... -
Control of chiral magnetic textures in B20 transition metal germanide epilayers
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... -
Interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in iron-lead thin films
A previous CRISP measurement allows us to show for the first time using PNR a change in the response due to superconductivity in an Fe/Pb/Fe tri-layer sample. This type of... -
Searching for chiral bobbers in B20 FeGe epilayers
Chiral magnetism in non-centrosymmetric systems that have a strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is a burgeoning field, with chiral skyrmions attracting enormous interest.... -

FeRh exhibits a fascinating structural and magnetic transition from room temperature antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at higher temperatures. This complex transition is... -
Chiral Magnetism in the room temperature skyrmion-carrying material CoZn
Chiral skyrmions are one of the most active areas of research in magnetism. A skyrmion is a topological stable soliton in which outer spins lie parallel to the applied field and... -
