While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in...

The behavior of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) with biological interfaces is a key research topic, to boost Nanomedicine development. In this respect, 2D lipid assemblies are...

We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand...

The aim of this proposal is to measure the induced magnetic moment in graphene arising from the proximity effect in the vicinity of a ferromagnetic substrate using high-angle...

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...

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...

This proposal aims to unambiguously understand the proximity effect between graphene and a transition metal using Polarised Neutron Reflectivity (PNR) measurements at the POLREF...

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...

We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron...

Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer...

We propose to study thin-film blends of the polymer:fullerene system PTB7:PC70BM using neutron reflectivity (NR). This system currently exhibits the highest power conversion...

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...

Six days of OFFSPEC beam time is requested to expand our recent investigations of emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. In recent...

Proteins from Moringa trees have attracted considerable interest as flocculents for water purification and possibly as materials for remediation of contaminated soil....

Besides green energy harvest the storage of energy is one major problem in modern world. The state-of-the-art battery systems nearly reached their theoretical limit. Therefore...

Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix...

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...

Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other...

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...

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...
