Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer... -
Polarized neutron reflectormetry study of ultra-thin FeRh films.
FeRh in the CsCl structure is an interesting material with a tunable magnetostructural phase transition close to, or just above room temperature. On heating through the... -
On the ninety degree perpendicular domain wall in FePt/FeRh thin films.
Magnetic structures with an out of plane magnetic moment can be found in the latest generation hard disk drive. Interactions between a material with controllable out of plane... -
Understanding the role of strain and applied field in the metamagnetic transi...
FeRh exhibits a fascinating structural and magnetic transition from room temperature antiferromagnetism to ferromagnetism at higher temperatures. This complex transition is... -
An externally controllable, purely magnetic interface in spatially doped FeRh
We intend the measure the neutron reflectivity of a purely magnetic interface generated at a ferromagnetic/antiferromagnet phase boundary within an FeRh epilayer, a material... -
Influence of Mg insert layers on interface magnetism in crystalline CoFe(B)/M...
We plan to investigate the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier interface in... -
Interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in iron-lead thin films
A previous CRISP measurement allows us to show for the first time using PNR a change in the response due to superconductivity in an Fe/Pb/Fe tri-layer sample. This type of... -
Neutron scattering from topological magnetic structures in Fe1-xCoxSi
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... -
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,...
