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... -
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... -
Neutron reflectometry from surface of liquid 3He/4He film on silicon wafer
A superfluid helium film can host a variety of exotic quantum phenomena, such as the topological BerezinskiiKosterlitzThouless transition, Rollins film flow and Third sound.... -
Analysing the chemical surface of Perfluoropolyether-Polydimethyll Siloaxane ...
The objective of this experiment is to use neutron reflectivity to study the surface structure and determine chemical depth profiles of Perflouropolyether-PDMS films in air and... -
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... -
Continuous contrast variation in magnetic reference layer measurements
We propose a feasibility study for continuous contrast variation in soft-condensed matter reflectometry experiments using the technique of magnetic reference layers. Changing... -
Exchange Spring Evolution in SmCo5/Fe and NdCo5/Fe
We propose to investigate the evolution of the exchange spring (ES) in NdCo5/Fe and SmCo5/Fe with temperature and magnetic fields using polarized neutron reflectometry. The...
