Interface of heavy metal layer on a ferromagnetic insulator by PNR
In the spin Seebeck effect (SSE), a temperature gradient generates a pure spin current in a ferromagnet. The magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) covered with a... -
Magnetic excitations in spin ladders
We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship... -
Structure of AOT layers at the sapphire water interface ¿ avoiding an isotope...
Several interesting results have emerged in studies of Aerosol-OT at the sapphire/solution interface that relate to effects of counter-ions, insensitivity to pH as well as the... -
Magnetic Excitation Spectrum of the Frustrated Antiferromagnet SrYb2O4
In SrYb2O4 the magnetic Yb3+ ions form sub-lattices of double chains running parallel to the crystallographic c-axis with frustrated first and second neighbour antiferromagnetic... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -
Spin dynamics in the 1/3rd magnetization plateau phase of a triangular quantu...
This experiment is part of our research programme to explore novel quantum phases and phase transitions induced by magnetic field in frustrated quantum magnets. The quasi-2D... -
Neutron transmission strain tomography: a novel approach to strain mapping
Strain tomography is a novel approach to the analysis of residual strain fields that involves deconvolution of unknown distributions of residual elastic strains from redundant... -
Oxide Ionic Conductivity in Anion-Deficient Fluorites
The last couple of decades have seen a rapidly increasing interest in new environment friendly energy sources and one key aspect of this research involves characterisation of...
