The exchange biasing effect in the thin film IrMn3/Fe depends strongly on the degree of structural ordering of the underling antiferromagnetic IrMn3 pinning layer. In this work...

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...

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

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

Lithium fluoride (LiF) doping of aluminum electrodes is used in organic electronics. As a result of the chemical reaction between LiF and aluminum, the contact resistance is...

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...

Plants do not have the sophisticated immunoglobulin immune systems of vertibrates, instead they posses a series of stimuli based responses which defend against pathogentic...

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...

Co-based Heusler alloys are predicted to be an ideal material for spintronics due to their high Curie temperature and potential in magnetic heterostructrue devices. We have...

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...

Nanocarbon materials such as C60 show fascinating transport properties when in contact with a ferromagnet. Previous results indicate that this could be due to a spin polarized...

This proposal is part 2 of a set of two proposals on Offspec aimed at understanding some of the effects seen in off-specular data and in particular the use of the spin echo...

This study aims to observe the magnetic properties of a family of arrays of permalloy antidots. Antidots are grown, by means of magnetron sputtering, on top of an anodised...

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...

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...

This proposal aims to combine the approaches of several successful recent neutron reflection studies by our group to directly measure ion layering at electrode surfaces. In this...

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....

The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This...

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,...

Lubrication by saliva is a key factor in oral health and food consumption. It is know that salivary lubrication is mediated by the thin proteinaceous film i.e., the pellicle,...
