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...

Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing...

Small particles with dimensions of a few hundred nanometers tend to behave differently when confined in small spaces. Examples of such situations are easy to find in nature --...

Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

The study investigates artificially designed in-plane magnetic domain patterns by polarised neutron reflectometry and off-specular scattering. Stripe domains with in-plane...

Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have strong antimicrobial effects against many organisms, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics. However, the exact...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

Chiral magnetism in non-centrosymmetric systems that have a strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is a burgeoning field, with chiral skyrmions attracting enormous interest....

We propose to measure the effects of spin-triplet superconducting correlations generated at the interface of a conventional superconductor within a multilayered magnetic...

Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

The spin Seebeck effect generates spin currents in various materials when they are subjected to a temperature gradient. These spin currents persist over length scales many...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...
