Study of interface and induced magnetic moment in C60 in bi- and tri-layers o...
Single layer of Fe, bi- and tri-layers of C60/Fe are grown on MgO (001) substrate using DC magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation for Fe and C60, respectively. The samples... -
Interlayer coupling in YIG/NiO/Pt trilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin... -
Investigation of the relevancy of the ¿strong coupling hot-spot¿ model of org...
A recent theoretical model has been proposed [Nat Phys 6, 615 (2011)] to explain MR in organic spin valves. It describes a coupling between the spacer and the FM electrode that... -
Application of direct inversion to magnetic contrast datasets.
We have developed an experimental approach using a buried magnetic layer to provide contrast in systems consisting of complex biomolecular layers tethered to gold surfaces. This... -
Probing the spatial distribution of fluorophores entering nanoscale pores in ...
We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution... -
Unusual structural change in geminis above the critical micelle concentration
gemini surfactants are essentially two surfactants joined by a linking chain. We have extensively explored cationic geminis at the air/water interface and they exhibit a range... -
Proving ground-state ordering in Artificial Spin-Ice systems formed by sub-10...
The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral... -
Remotely Induced Magnetism in a Normal Metal using a Superconductor/Ferromagn...
While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in... -
Surface Smectic Layers in difluoroterphenyls
The proposal is to use previous established neutron reflection methods to observe the smectic layers that form at the surface of a nematic liquid crystal. In this proposal we... -
Influence of Mg insert layers on interface magnetism in crystalline CoFe(B)/M...
We plan to continue our previous investigation on the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier... -
PNR of Magnetic Order in Delta-Doped Topological Insulators
We aim at studying proximity effects between a ferromagnetic thin film (either metallic or insulating) and a topological insulator (either undoped, or magnetically homogeneously... -
Surface charge induced layering of ionic liquids on mica
The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to... -
Surface activity of fluoroblock copolymers in model marine coatings
Marine coatings are commonly based on silicone polymers, which have a low surface energy and a degree of deformability which contribute to release of marine fouling species. Low... -

Novel Alginate Adsorption onto High Surface Energy Crystal Faces of Calcite
In this novel proposal we will investigate adsorption onto the non-equilibrium face of calcite the first time this has been attempted. This will compliment and extend our... -
Determining the Induced Magnetism in Graphene by Polarised Neutron Reflectivity
This proposal aims to unambiguously understand the proximity effect between graphene and a transition metal using Polarised Neutron Reflectivity (PNR) measurements at the POLREF... -
Studying Artificial Ripple Structures
In addition to smoothing and self-affine roughening ion bombardment of solid surfaces can result in ripple and dot structures with nanometer scale dimensions. This method... -
Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Interactions with Lipid Bilayers in a Magnetic Field
Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as... -
