Ferromagnetic ordering in -[Lanthanide(III)-Radical]n- coordination polymers
The recently synthesised molecular magnet [Sm(hfac)3(boaDTDA)]n is the first metal complex of a thiazyl-based neutral radical ligand to exhibit ferromagnetic ordering, with Tc... -
Determination of fullerene-polymer interactions
Fullerenes often produce very dramatic improvements to polymer properties, but their limited miscibility with polymers is often a severe restriction to the general utility. We... -
Spin waves in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4
We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the... -
Lipid exchange in circularized nanodiscs
Nanodiscs (NDs) are discoidal lipid-protein aggregates composed by a lipid bilayer surrounded by a protein belt. NDs are suitable systems to investigate membrane protein... -
The phase diagram of the spin-density-wave metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7
Sr3Ru2O7 is an unusual layered oxide metamagnetic metal. It has been know for some time that the application of a large magnetic field (~8 T) perpendicular to the RuO2 planes... -
Comparative Interaction Studies of Antimicrobial Agents on Floating Asymmetri...
The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs... -
Vanadiumcarbide-precipitation kinetics in NANO-steels
Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS), extremely suitable for lightweight automotive applications. The matrix of the steel, which provides... -
Assembling Biomimetic layers on monolayers of Gold Nanoparticles
Gold provides a high quality surface on which to arrange biomolecules such as proteins since we can use cysteine amino acids to deliver gold thiol chemical bonds which can... -
Magnetic proximity effect and in-plane correlations in amorphous CoAlZr/FeZr ...
The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by... -
Magnetic Fluctuations in BaCo2As2
ACo2As2 (A=Ba, Sr, Ca) are end members of Co doped Ba-122 family. Understanding the magnetic behavior of these end members can help us to understand the magnetic properties of... -
Investigating Morphology and Phase Separation in Low-Donor Organic Solar Cell...
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A... -
Magnetic contrast reflectometry to resolve transmembrane potential effects on...
The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world.... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,...
