Surface structures of polycations in confined geometries
A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic... -
Neutron Reflectometry of Tethered Microphase Separated Block Copolymers
Neutron reflectometry will be used to probe the scattering length density profile in tethered films of block copolymers grafted onto silicon substrates. The tethered... -
Probing the origin of the superconducting spin-valve effect
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,... -
Electrostatic Control of Protein Adsorption under Re-entrant Conditions
Protein adsorption is a process relevant in many research fields such as biology, medicine and food processing. Its mechanism is influenced by many parameters. Our group has... -
Pd, Ni, V, Nb and Ti capping layer clamping effects in hydrogen cycling in Ca...
We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in... -
Study of the modified magnetization resulting from interfacial electronic rec...
Multiferroics are promising candidates for faster and cooler electronics. Due to the intrinsic incompatibility between the ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) phases, it... -
The structure of glycerol mono oleate at the iron oxide/dodecane interface
The reliability of combustion engines is enhanced by lubrication, which provides wear protection along with reduced emissions and fuel consumption through the minimisation of... -
Oxidation of bilayer of labelled DPPC by aqueous hydroxyl radical elucidati...
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... -
Understanding the magnetic phase diagram in capped MnSi thin films
Skyrmions are a topologically non-trivial magnetisation pattern that form in crystal structures whose broken inversion symmetry gives rise to the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya... -

Humic acid interactions with alumina surface and the effect of perfluoroalkyl...
In the soil environment, organic matter such as humic acid has a strong influence on the behaviour of organic pollutants such as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their... -
Investigation of Induced Magnetism at Graphene/EuO Interfaces
Interface effects are attracting a renewed interest in recent years. It resides in the fact that when an interface is formed the break of symmetry gives rise to entirely new... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer...
