For many applications such as paints, foods and drug formulations, aggregation of colloidal particles is prevented by combining polymer and surfactant adsorption. Key to this...

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...

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...

Nature frequently uses charged, weak-polyelectrolyte brushes at interfaces to control surface function and properties; surface wetting, lubrication, to limit deposition of...

The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

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...

This proposal will exploit the unique ability of neutron reflection to characterise the adsorption of a key additive on the surface of calcite from a non-aqueous solvent and the...

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...

The study investigates artificially designed in-plane magnetic domain patterns by polarised neutron reflectometry and off-specular scattering. Stripe domains with in-plane...

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...

We have produced high quality, epitaxial and phase pure thin films of BiFe0.5Mn0.5O3 (BFMO) grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The magnetic...

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...

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...

Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have strong antimicrobial effects against many organisms, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics. However, the exact...

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...

Biological membranes do not only occur as planar bilayer structures, but bilayers have also been shown to, depending onthe lipid composition, curve into intriguing 3D...

Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-...

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...

DNA is an extremely versatile building material for the development and assembly of functional nanostructures and nanodevices. There are numerous examples of DNA based...

We plan to investigate the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier interface in...
