Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
Magnetic order in Mott insulating kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl
The quasi-two-dimensional molecular series kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X exemplifies the complex interplay of collective phenomena that occur in correlated electron systems. Many of the... -
Excitation spectrum of magnetic stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferro...
The proposal aims to investigate the formation of magnetic stripes in La2-xSrxCoO4. Recent measurements have revealed an hourglass magnetic spectrum at x=1/3. The question we... -
Fluctuating stripes in an insulating hole-doped antiferromagnet
In a recent letter to Nature, Boothroyd and coworkers have shown that the well known hour-glass spectrum, previously observed in some cuprate materials, occurs in a hole doped... -
Influence of the cation disorder on the magnetic properties of underdoped cup...
We want to isolate the effects of doping, charge localization and local distortion on the transition from insulating antiferromagnet to superconducting metal in YBCO. We choose... -
Superstructures in insulating and metallic lanthanum-doped sodium cobaltate
The thermoelectric properties of NaxCoO2 can be substantially improved by replacing Na ions by cations of higher valence. Our neutron diffraction studies on SXD for doping with...
