Development of neutrons as entangled quantum probes
We recently completed an experiment on LARMOR at ISIS that proved that each individual neutron prepared for a Spin Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) measurement is in... -
Structure of responsive PNIPAM-PAAc microgels
We propose to investigate a temperature and pH responsive microgel composed of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPN) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(acrylic)... -
Investigating the stability and energetics of the hidden low temperature skyr...
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with potential uses in low power devices. Cu2OSeO3 is a cubic material containing both skyrmions and other spin... -
An off-specular neutron scattering study of the 'peristaltic mode' in the dew...
We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the... -
Measurement of spin-gravity coupling by quantum interference
It is possible that there is a coupling between the spin and gravitation, for instance by an adaptation of the Hamiltonian with an additional termH=k/c (gvec.Svec) where gvec is... -

Helimagnetic correlations in FeCl3
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
Magnetic Ordering in the Candidate Random Quantum Spin Chain Sr3CuPtxIr1-xO6
The Sr3CuPtxxIr1-xO6 system has been considered to be a candidate random quantum spin chain. (RQS). For x=1 adjacent S=1/2 Cu2+ions are antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled to... -
Effect of Phosphatidylserine lipids on Tissue Factor structure and function i...
Tissue Factor (TF) is the membrane protein responsible for the initiation of the blood coagulation process [1]. In case of a vessel injury, the TF is exposed to the blood stream... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
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... -
To measure the length scale of magnetic domains across the metal to insulator...
Pr, Ca co-doped LaMnO3(LPCMO) exhibits a variety of complex physical properties owing to the co-existence and competition of different structural, magnetic and electronic... -
Impact of particle properties on the structure of supramolecular hydrogels
For biomaterial applications, it is important that the properties of self-assembled hydrogels are well controlled and match the requirements of the application. The influence of... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
Porosity Analysis in Suspension Thermal Sprayed YSZ Coatings using Spin-Echo ...
Suspension thermal spraying (STS) techniques enable the use of sub-micron powder particles as feedstock, as opposed to the traditional use of dry powders with micrometric size,... -
Novel materials for heat storage application: a small-angle neutron scatterin...
Large quantities of thermal energy can be stored reversibly in composite materials containing SrCl2 and Expanded Natural Graphite (ENG) upon exo-/endothermal ab-/desorption of... -
Phase separation in confined polymer blends studied by SERGIS
We intend to study the phase separation morphology of confined polymer blends. Interface forces will impose morphologies different from those in the bulk. In our experiments the... -
Biskyrmion Magnetic Nanodomains in the MnNiGa single-crystalline Study by Sma...
Magnetic skyrmions are topological vortex-like spin objects that were recently discovered in bulk chiral magnetic materials. Several months ago we discovered super stable... -
Depth profiling fullerene-free organic solar cell blends using neutron reflec...
In Sheffield, 9% efficient organic solar cells have been made using a new non-fullerene acceptor called ITIC, when blended with semiconducting polymers. GIWAXS measurements have... -
Impact of Protein Nanosheet Structure on Nanoscale Toughness
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
Probing the magnetic interface in Bi2Se3/CoFeB bilayers by polarized neutron ...
Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic...
