We propose to study polarised neutron reflectivity from a GdCo/Si/Co/Si multilayers. Magnetic rare earth/transition metal (RE/TM) multilayers have been subject of considerable...

The physics behind the evolution of exchange bias in systems with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is of high scientific and technological importance. We show unexpected behaviour...

Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus...

The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. A new neutron...

High quality epitaxial films of the multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 have been prepared using pulsed laser deposition. Using an electric field, we will induce a ferroelectrically...

Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors that can function under a wide range of conditions are required to detect hydrogen concentrations well below this explosive limit are...

Neurotransmitter transporters recognize biogenic amines dopamine, serotonin, noradrenalin and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA). They all belong to the family of...

The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. Hydrogen...

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...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their...

We propose to study Fe based tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) structures. TAMR is a newly discovered effect potentially combining advantages of the anisotropic MR...

In materials where magnetic and structural transitions are coupled, a number of interesting and useful phenomena are seen, such as the giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and...

In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied...

Neutron reflectivity will be used to investigate the composition in the direction perpendicular to the substrate for films of blends of electron-donor...

The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight...

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,...

We plan to perform polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) on an epitaxial FePt(10nm)/FePt3(60nm) bilayer grown on a MgO(110) substrate. One particularity of this exchange bias...

X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed...

In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)...

Annexins are a ubiquitous group of membrane associated proteins found in animals, plants and fungi. They are linked to wide range of functions including phospholipid...
