The purpose of this project work is to establish a broader understanding of the magnetic proximity effect observed in a magnetic amorphous multilayer. This will be achieved by...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

Numerous additives have been added to paints and coatings to improve adhesion, and prohibit corrosion if the substrate is reactive to its surrounding environs. The adsorbates in...

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,...

The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world....

Topological materials hold promise in quantum information processing as a fault tolerant basis for operations and manipulations of quasiparticles that exist at the material...

We aim at investigating a new method to create dissipation less currents. We combine a topological insulator with an antiferromagnet to induce ferromagnetic order in the...

We have observed that the addition of C60 molecules on the surface of rare earth (RE) metal thin films alters magnetic transitions into collinear and non-collinear states. The...

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs...

Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached...

Interface effects, including proximity induced magnetisation (PIM), play an import role in many spintronic devices employing heavy metal/ferromagnetic structures. Interface...

The interface between nickel bismuth layers is widely reported to be superconducting and due to the proximity of ferromagnetic and high spin-orbit-coupling layers, it is...

FeRh with a meta-magnetic (from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic) phase transition at around 100°C has real potential for a range of applications including data storage media,...

We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense...

The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomena that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

There is currently tremendous interest in unconventional superconductors where p-wave, d-wave or f-wave angular momentum states exist. The existence of p or f-wave odd symmetry...

We propose to test and pre-commission the recently constructed LET incident beam polariser. The device employs high powered lasers to optically pump a 3He neutron spin filter...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide...

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...
