One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is... -
Hydrogen kinetics in nano-layered metal hydrides for hydrogen sensing applica...
Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors functioning under a wide range of conditions are a vital ingredient for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. A novel, safe and cheap... -
Aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes: lateral structure
We will use off-specular reflectivity to probe the characteristic lateral length-scales in responsive polyelectrolyte brushes grown by surface-initiated ATRP from solid-liquid... -
Polymer displacement by surfactant at colloidal interface
The interactions of neutral polymers with surfactants have a key role in detergency and are systems of current academic and commercial interest. Here, we propose to study the... -
Probing CoFeNi thin films using polarised neutrons
Near-equimolar multi-component alloys, known as high entropy alloys (HEAs), possess potential for the development of new functional micromaterials. HEAs can be stabilised by... -
Probing possible p-wave superconductivity in Bi/Ni bilayers
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing... -
Satisfying the need for contrast in antimicrobial research
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -

PNR study on the exchange bias propagation in the FM/AFM/FM trilayer with a t...
Today, a number of technological devices, such as the readout sensor in the hard disc drive, have used the exchange bias (EB) effect, which arises in a... -
Hydrogen loading and unloading kinetics in thin Mg films
Hydrogen storage in metal hydrides has recently been studied as a possible way to store energy. One of the possible options is magnesium, which is abundant and cheap and it has... -
Fluoride uptake by polyaniline films for water purification and remediation
The beneficial effects of fluoride are well known, but higher levels are dangerous to health. Existing remediation methods used to address the latter situation all have... -
Effect of oxidation on lipid raft formation: an off-specular neutron reflecti...
The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes, known as rafts are of major scientific interest. Lipids in cell membranes are... -
Latex - structure in binary mixtures - studies of crystallisation and stability
Recent experiments on SANS2D have indicated that small colloidal particles can act as macroions that screen the charged interactions of larger particles. This can cause changes... -
Probing the influence of deposition energy on the magnetic properties of FeCo...
Magnetic HEA thin films could open up the possibility to develop spintronic devices for use in hostile environments e.g. for high temperature applications. Previous studies have... -
Probing the origin of the superconducting spin-valve effect
Inter-layer exchange coupling through charge and/or spin carriers is the key control mechanism for the field of nano-magnetism and is often coupled to other spintronic effects,... -
Investigating artificial multiferroic structures using polarised neutron refl...
Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that... -
Hydrogen Embrittlement in Metals Deposited from Deep Eutectic Solvents
We propose to study the composition of metallic films of Cr, Co & Ni using specular NR measurements during electrolytic growth in deep eutectic solvent media in order to... -
Dependence of spin-diffusion transparency and spin-orbit torques on interface...
One of the main challenges in spintronics is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. For the switching of a magnetic memory-element an... -
Effect of galvanostatic electrochemical control function on metal alloy depos...
The proposed project is aimed at determining the nucleation/growth processes and structures (metal distributions and solvent population/distribution) of metallic films deposited... -
Exploring colloidal assembly in periodic nano-confinements using neutron spin...
Colloids in confinements have structural and dynamic properties in some cases very different from bulk properties. In particular, when the width of the confinement is few times...
