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

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide...

The outer membrane of Gram negative bacterial is an effective barrier for many harmful agents. We have been developing and testing advanced models of the Gram negative bacterial...

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”....

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...

Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic...

Intense research activity is underway to understand the interaction between ferromagnetic (FM) and superconducting (SC) layers in oxide FM/SC multilayers, where FM and SC layers...

As it was predicted theoretically by Andreev at zero temperature for dilute 3He in 4He mixtures, 3He atoms will form a 2D Fermi liquid at liquid helium surface. Direct...

This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially...

We aim at studying materials that exhibit the Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect (QAHE) and understand the underlying mechanisms that provide the fine balance of ferromagnetic doping...

Spin vortices are most appealing characteristics of two dimensional 2D easy-plane spin systems which are receiving recent attention for their fundamental properties and possible...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

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...

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

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...
