Structural and magnetic studies of the alkali sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -
The effect of magnetic structure on ordred/disordered IrMn3 exchange-biasing ...
The exchange biasing effect in the thin film IrMn3/Fe depends strongly on the degree of structural ordering of the underling antiferromagnetic IrMn3 pinning layer. In this work... -
Pressure-dependent powder neutron diffraction of the p-orbital molecular magn...
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing molecular materials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Our recent... -
Room temperature ferromagnetic/ferroelectric ordering in BaTiO3 - BiFeO3 - Pb...
There are very few genuine claims of materials that are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic at room temperature. In This proposal we will study both textured and non texture BaTiO3... -
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,... -
Non-planar exchange bias in a hard magnetic FePt/FePt3 epitaxial bilayer
We plan to perform polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) on an epitaxial FePt(10nm)/FePt3(60nm) bilayer grown on a MgO(110) substrate. One particularity of this exchange bias... -
Investigation of the structure and formation of alphasynuclein-lipid co-aggre...
Alpha-synuclein is tan intrinsically disordered protein whose aggregates are an hallmark of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Alpha-syn is known to associate with lipid membranes and...
