Magnetic Roughness controlled by anisotropy
This is a continuation for proposal number 520445, where we looked at the magnetic roughness in the superlattice system Pd/Fe/Pd/Au. The analysis of the previous results is... -
Dynamics of polyaniline film growth, solvation and redox-evolution as a funct...
We propose time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements during electrodeposition of polyaniline (PAni) films via different electrochemical control functions:... -
Visualisation of Multi-component Ion Exchange for Oil Recovery
Release of oil bound to clay minerals by exchange of bridging cations for non-bridging ones is postulated as a major mechanism for enhanced oil recovery. In this work we propose... -
Heusler Alloy Thin Films for Spin Seebeck Devices
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to... -
Substrate-dependent structure of grafted polymer films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We explore PEG-based... -
Neutron reflection studies on model wax films reconstituted from chemicals
Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that... -
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering using Neutron Spin echo
We propose a measurement of the effectiveness of using the RF flippers on Offspec in a quasi-elastic mode (theta=90°) with the RF at 0.5MHz. This is important to our future... -
Adsorption of NADH at the electrode/electrolyte interface under electrochemic...
This proposal concerns the adsorption behaviour of a key electron-transfer species, NADH, found in many cells as well as in bioelectrochemical devices used to capture light... -
PNR study on the uncompensated layer at the interface of ferromagnetic and an...
Spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, based on a structure of free ferromagnet (FM)/nonmagnetic metal or insulator/pinned FM, have been extensively used in magnetic field... -
Magnetic interactions in ferromagnetic topological insulator multilayer struc...
Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is... -
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... -
Tuning the Magnetic Properties of γ-Fe2O3 Fe3O4 Thin Films for Atom Tr...
In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that... -
Substrate-dependent structure of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based... -
Understanding light-induced changes to the miscibility of polymer/fullerene s...
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... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using neutron reflectivity in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO)... -
Adsorption of hexadecyl maltoside on hydrophobised silica
The surface properties of alkylglycosides is of large interest as these non-ionic surfactants have proved to be versatile ingredients in manifold formulated products such as... -
Ageing Effects in Polymer Surfactant Films
We have recently reported a remarkably rich range of surface segregation and self-organisation behaviour for surfactants and plasticisers in PVA film. These experiments are...
