The physics behind the evolution of exchange bias in systems with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is of high scientific and technological importance. We show unexpected behaviour... -
Polarised neutron investigations of the spin Seebeck effect
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... -
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,... -
