Evolution of magnetic and structural ordering in (1-x)BiFeO3-xPbTiO3 system
The perovskite BiFeO3 has received considerable attention over the years due to its unique ferroelectric and multiferroic properties at room temperature. It has been reported... -
µSR studies of the superconducting and magnetic properties of FeSe1-xSx
FeSe1-xSx is an important model system for investigating the relationship between superconductivity and nematicity. The nematicity can be suppressed systematically by the... -
Relation between surface tension and adsorbed amount of proteins at the air/w...
The surface tension of proteins often exhibits a reproducible lagtime, which is sensitiv to a range of conditions such as concentration, pH, ionic strength. We have also found... -
The pressure response of the new superconductor LiFeAs
We will probe the response of the 18K superconductor LiFeAa to pressures of up to 2 GPa in order to investigate the evolution of the crystal structure. In particular we wish to... -
MuSR study to investigate a small moment magnetic ordering in Ce(Os1-xIrx)2Al...
Our muSR study on Ce(Os1-xFex)2Al10 with x=0.4, which reveals long range magnetic ordering below 24K from the heat capacity, shows unexpected behaviour. The muSR spectra only... -
Deformation mechanisms of a newly developed Ni-base superalloy at cryogenic t...
Haynes 282 is a novel Ni-base superalloy, combining excellent weldability and general processability with moderate cost. As such, it is very promising for e.g. industrial gas... -
Confinement and Lubrication in Liquid Crystal Films
Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers... -
Adsorption of multicomponent biosurfactant / surfactant mixtures at the air-w...
This proposal is part of a collaboration between Oxford and Ulster Universities and Unilever, on the development of sustainable laundry detergents, using a blend of conventional... -
Deforming TWIP steels at cryogenic temperatures
Dense mechanical twins and phase transformation are the most attractive athermal transformation processes since they can endow alloys with significant strength enhancement as... -

Structure of Confined Mucin Films
Nowadays, a significant research effort is devoted to understand and mimic biological lubricants which, in contrast to most man-made lubricants, are based on water. It has been...
