Fractionalized spin excitation and crystal electric field study in the rare-e...
A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+).... -
Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the... -
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. In this experiment we would like to extend... -

Universal dynamics in liquid metals?
The dynamics of liquid aluminium will be measured at the structure factor maximum up to twice the melting temperature. We are searching for changes in dynamics which should... -
The Kinetics of Ethanol Adsorption into Cholesterol Rich Bilayers
In a recent experiment carried out on SURF we have shown that on addition of ethanol to a DPPC model membrane, the anaesthetic initially diffuses to the bilayer surface followed... -
Structural characterisation of an electron-transfer protein, cytochrome c, on...
This proposal concerns the adsorption behaviour of an electron-transfer protein, cytochrome c, on modified electrode surfaces. Cytochrome c plays an important role in... -
Low temperature studies of antiferroelectric, PbZrO3
Antiferroelectric materials are attracting extensive attention as potential energy storage devices with higher capacities and lower losses that either piezoelectric and... -
What is the reactivity of marine atmospheric aerosol to oxidation? A study of...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Excitation spectrum of magnetic stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferro...
The proposal aims to investigate the formation of magnetic stripes in La2-xSrxCoO4. Recent measurements have revealed an hourglass magnetic spectrum at x=1/3. The question we... -
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 - a 2D Kagome lattice with Classical Ising Spins
Dy3Mg2Sb3O14 forms a layered structure with magnetic Dy3+ ions forming sheets of corner sharing triangles, called a Kagome lattice. The Ising magnetic moments are constrained to... -
