Oxidation of lipid membranes is widely known to play a crucial role in many cellular processes and pathological conditions such as apoptosis, inflammation, infection, or sepsis,...

Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic...

Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric...

Magnetic structures with an out of plane magnetic moment can be found in the latest generation hard disk drive. Interactions between a material with controllable out of plane...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide...

We propose to test and pre-commission the recently constructed LET incident beam polariser. The device employs high powered lasers to optically pump a 3He neutron spin filter...

There is currently tremendous interest in unconventional superconductors where p-wave, d-wave or f-wave angular momentum states exist. The existence of p or f-wave odd symmetry...

The spin Seebeck effect is a relatively new phenomena that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to...

Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense...

We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron...

FeRh with a meta-magnetic (from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic) phase transition at around 100°C has real potential for a range of applications including data storage media,...

The interface between nickel bismuth layers is widely reported to be superconducting and due to the proximity of ferromagnetic and high spin-orbit-coupling layers, it is...

Interface effects, including proximity induced magnetisation (PIM), play an import role in many spintronic devices employing heavy metal/ferromagnetic structures. Interface...

Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached...

The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-Negative bacteria (GNB) is an asymmetric structure which contains complex lipids known as lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on the outer surface. LPSs...

We have observed that the addition of C60 molecules on the surface of rare earth (RE) metal thin films alters magnetic transitions into collinear and non-collinear states. The...

We aim at investigating a new method to create dissipation less currents. We combine a topological insulator with an antiferromagnet to induce ferromagnetic order in the...

Topological materials hold promise in quantum information processing as a fault tolerant basis for operations and manipulations of quasiparticles that exist at the material...

The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world....

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,...
