Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There...

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...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...

Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies....

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...

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...

The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of...

Interface effects, including proximity induced magnetisation (PIM), play an import role in many spintronic devices employing heavy metal/ferromagnetic structures. Interface...

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...

Polymer/fullerene blends represent the most common form of organic solar cell. This proposal forms part of a wider effort in which our motivation is to complement solar cell...

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...

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...

Mineral aerosol in the atmosphere is a major part of the Earth’s aerosol budget. Organic films on these aerosols affect the aerosol’s ability to promote cloud formation and...

The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

Polymer/fullerene blends represent the most common form of organic solar cell. This proposal forms part of a wider effort in which our motivation is to complement solar cell...

Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is...

We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance....

Inter-layer exchange coupling through charge and/or spin carriers is the key control mechanism for the field of nano-magnetism and is often coupled to other spintronic effects,...
