Flux Lattice Phase diagram in YBCO up to 17T
Our sample of fully oxygenated and de-twinned YBCO has previously given the first measurements of the intrinsic vortex lattice in this material, up to fields of 11 T. We have... -
A SANS Study of Hydration Shell and Magnetic Field Alignment of Amyloid Pepti...
We will perform neutron scattering experiments (SANS) to probe the mechanism of alignment of amyloid peptides on drying in the presence of a 2T magnetic field, as well as the... -
Surfactant aggregation in magnetic ionic liquids
This proposal aims to explore aggregation behavior of common surfactants in magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) and to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on aggregate size,... -
Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
Giant magnetostriction in CoMnSi: a tricritical metamagnet with large changes...
For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the...
