Probing the crystal field of dysprosium (III) single-ion magnets with enhance...
SMMs have received much attention owing to their quantum tunneling and slow relaxation of the magnetization. This has led to an intense activity by synthetic chemists to... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
A Study of the Reduced interfacial Magnetisation in a Heusler/Insualator Tunn...
For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,... -
EuO tunnel barriers and metallic interfaces
The tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of a magnetic tunnelling junction is influenced by many different factors, one of which is hybridization at the metal/oxide interface. We... -
Uncompensated moments in antiferromagnetic barriers in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 / La0.3...
Recently, we have demonstrated that a large ferromagnetic moment can be induced at theinsulating barrier (La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 (LC7MO)) separating two...
