Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite...

Nanogranular thin films of FexAg100-x (x=7,15,35) are an excellent system to study the interplay between the nanostructure and the magnetic behaviour, which is triggered by the...

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,...

A large magnetoresistance (TMR) is expected when half metallic ferromagnets are used in magnetic tunneling junctions with polycrystalline AlOx barrier. We have recently observed...

Reflectometry is a technique that is capable of vector magnetometry. By selecting the appropriate valves of Q we could access the different forms of magnetic disorder, either...

MnAs is a promising room-temperature ferromagnetic material for spintronic applications and magnetologic devices, as it can be grown epitaxially on the most relevant...

FeSi is a member of the transition metal (TM) monosilicides. The crystal structure is isostructural from MnSi through to CoSi with magnetic properties that alter dramatically...

We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to...

The recent experimental verification of the unique odd-frequency spin triplet superconductivity in artificial thin film ferromagnetic-superconducting structures is likely to...

EuO is a model ferromagnet, with great potential in spintronics, but also of great interest from a theoretical point of view. Here we propose to study the magnetic proximity...

We aim at studying the interface between a ferromagnetic (FM) thin film and a topological insulator (TI). For accessing the spin-polarised state in a TI system via current...

Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating...

We wish to perform PNR measurements on organic spin valve devices to assess the effect on the device performances of the spin relaxation mechanisms related to spin-orbit...

A recent theoretical model has been proposed [Nat Phys 6, 615 (2011)] to explain MR in organic spin valves. It describes a coupling between the spacer and the FM electrode that...

This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally...

We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand...

We have produced high quality, epitaxial and phase pure thin films of BiFe0.5Mn0.5O3 (BFMO) grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The magnetic...

In addition to smoothing and self-affine roughening ion bombardment of solid surfaces can result in ripple and dot structures with nanometer scale dimensions. This method...

The realisation of room temperature magnetic semiconductors would be a significant milestone on the route to the next generation of spintronic materials. Raising the ordering...

For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,...
