A large magnetoresistance (TMR) is expected when half metallic ferromagnets are used in magnetic tunneling junctions with polycrystalline AlOx barrier. We have recently observed... -
Neutron reflectometry study of liquid helium surface
In our recent experiment RB1120146 we have obtained new exciting results on neutron scattering on liquid He surface. At 1.5 and 2.3K there was no difference in reflectivity... -
Study of change in magnetic momentum in Ni/NiO/Ni structures
NiO has useful electronic, magnetic and catalytic properties. It is also used in creation of OxRRAM¿s, that are considered as a better alternative to Flash memory due its... -
Macrocyclic ligands at the oil-water interface
Azacrown ethers and a mixture of azacrown ethers and fatty acids have been studied at the oil-water interface using surface-pressure isotherms and other classical surface... -
La dopped EuO
Currently one of the biggest challenges in spintronics is the generation and control of a spin polarized current at room temperature. Spin injection from europium monoxide is of... -
EuO tunnel barriers and metallic interfaces
The tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of a magnetic tunnelling junction is influenced by many different factors, one of which is hybridization at the metal/oxide interface. We... -
calcite oil interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and oil is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, not least oil recovery. Neutron reflection has proved to be... -

Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached... -
Interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in iron-lead thin films
A previous CRISP measurement allows us to show for the first time using PNR a change in the response due to superconductivity in an Fe/Pb/Fe tri-layer sample. This type of...
