Controlling diblock co-polymer morphologies via selective solvent annealing
Diblock co-polymers consist of two polymer chains with different chemical properties tied together at a central linking block. The interactions between the two blocks result in... -
Phonon confinement effects in Si-nanowires
Nanowires can be used for devices based on thermoelectrics and to convert the heat into electrical current. The material design challenge here is to create the materials where... -
Magnetic Proximity Effects in Ferromagnetic-Superconducting Spin Valves
The recent experimental verification of the unique odd-frequency spin triplet superconductivity in artificial thin film ferromagnetic-superconducting structures is likely to... -
Correlations between local magnetism and spin-orbit transport physics in topo...
One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is... -
Investigation of the role of functionalization in the catalytic activity of A...
In the last few years functionalised carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have shown promising results in the area of heterogeneous catalysis due to the ability to tune the... -
Magnetic hysteresis loops in off-specular scattering
Reflectometry is a technique that is capable of vector magnetometry. By selecting the appropriate valves of Q we could access the different forms of magnetic disorder, either... -
The single ion crystal field ground state of Yb3+ in Yb2Ir2O7
The rare earth iridates, R2Ir2O7 have been intensely studied in recent years due to the unique behaviour of the magnetism on the iridium sites; a consequence of competition...
