We propose to study electrodeposited films, both patterned and unpatterned, of CoNiCu alloy layers interleaved with pure Cu spacer layers. The magnetic layers are engineered...

We propose to study the composition of metallic films of Cr, Co & Ni using specular NR measurements during electrolytic growth in deep eutectic solvent media in order to...

Metal halide perovskites have enabled remarkable advancements in low-cost, high-performance optoelectronics, however their performance potential is restricted by an incomplete...

Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that...

Polystyrene latex represents an excellent model system for studies of the physical properties of colloidal particles. The materials can be prepared with controlled size, and...

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,...

This proposal presents a comparative study of the adsorption of three key chemical groups onto an important technological substrate, viz. fatty acid salt (Sodium hexanoate),...

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...

Membrane Proteins (MPs) consist of about 1/3 of the proteome but the structural information available is very limited compared to that for soluble proteins. Despite this at...

The elucidation of the compositional profile of polymer:small molecule nanoparticle films is critical for applications such as water processable organic solar cells. In order to...

Multiferroics are promising candidates for faster and cooler electronics. Due to the intrinsic incompatibility between the ferromagnetic (FM) and ferroelectric (FE) phases, it...

The oxidation of membrane lipids by reactive Oxygen Species, ROS, is implicated in cell apoptosis, cancer and ageing. We have performed preliminary experiments studying the...

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...

This proposal aims to investigate Fe3O4/ZnO and their suitability as spintronic devices. Specifically we aim to investigate the influence of the ZnO termination state on the...

We propose to study cobalt nitride films using PNR with a view to their use in spin injection & spin engineering applications. Such systems have had little attention in the...

The proposal concerns the assembly of high density antibody binding surfaces to increase the sensitivity of medical diagnostics. Previously we showed that antibody binding...

Rare Earths (REs) - Transition Metals (TMs) multilayers have a great importance in modern magnetism because of their unique properties due to their 4f orbitals: perpendicular...

The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable...

The objective of this experiment is the study and characterization of spin-polarized electron states at the interface of EuO and 3d transition metal oxides. EuO is a...

The origin of magnetic exchange at the interface of complex magnetic oxides is becoming an important consideration when developing thin film devices. Recent technical...
