Antiferromagnetic single-layer spin-orbit torque oscillators
(2019)We show how a charge current through a single antiferromagnetic layer can excite and control self-oscillations. Sustained oscillations with tunable amplitudes and frequencies are possible in a variety of geometries using ... -
Broadband saturable absorption and exciton-exciton annihilation in MoSe2 composite thin films
(2019)Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was utilized as a matrix to host two-dimensional (2D) liquid-phase-exfoliated MoSe2 nanosheets. These 2D MoSe2/PVA composite thin films were experimentally proven to be preferable for efficient ... -
Charge-modulated self-assembly and growth of conjugated polyelectrolyte-polyoxometalate hybrid networks.
(2014)Self-assembly of an anionic polyoxometalate with cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes leads to hybrid supramolecular networks whose dimensionality is controlled by the chain length and steric charge distribution. -
Co-percolation to tune conductive behaviour in dynamical metallic nanowire networks
(2016)Nanowire networks act as self‐healing smart materials, whose sheet resistance can be tuned via an externally applied voltage stimulus. This memristive response occurs due to modification of junction resistances to form a ... -
Conducting mechanism in the epitaxial p-type transparent conducting oxide Cr2O3:Mg
(2015)Epitaxial p -type transparent conducting oxide (TCO) Cr 2 O 3 :Mg was grown by electron-beam evaporation in a molecular beam epitaxy system on c -plane sapphire. The influence of Mg dopants and the oxygen partial ... -
Continuous wafer-scale graphene on cubic-SiC(001
(2013)The atomic and electronic structure of graphene synthesized on commercially available cubic-SiC(001)/Si(001) wafers have been studied by low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy ... -
Effect of insertion layer on electrode properties in magnetic tunnel junctions with a zero-moment half-metal
(2019)Due to its negligible spontaneous magnetization, high spin polarization and giant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, Mn2RuxGa (MRG) is an ideal candidate as an oscillating layer in THz spin-transfertorque nano-oscillators. ... -
"Effective Electrode Length Enhances Electrical Activation of Nanowire Networks: Experiment and Simulation"
(2014)Networks comprised of randomly oriented overlapping nanowires offer the possibility of simple fabrication on a variety of substrates, in contrast with the precise placement required for devices with single or aligned ... -
Effective medium theory for the conductivity of disordered metallic nanowire networks
(2016)Motivated by numerous technological applications, there is current interest in the study of the conductive properties of networks made of randomly dispersed nanowires. The sheet resistance of such networks is normally ... -
The Electro-Optical Performance of Silver Nanowire Networks
(2019)Networks of metallic nanowires have the potential to meet the needs of next-generation device technologies that require flexible transparent conductors. At present, there does not exist a first principles model capable of ... -
Electronic and structural characterisation of polycrystalline platinum disulfide thin films
(2020)We employ a combination of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) to investigate the properties of layered PtS2, synthesised via thermally assisted conversion (TAC) of a metallic ... -
Growth of ZnO:Al by atomic layer deposition: Deconvoluting the contribution of hydrogen interstitials and crystallographic texture on the conductivity
(2019)Aluminium doped ZnO (AZO) is an interesting low cost transparent conducting oxide with further use as an inorganic transport layer in multilayer solar cells. Here we present our work on atomic layer deposited (ALD) thin ... -
Imaging and identification of point defects in PtTe2
(2021)The properties and performance of two-dimensional (2D) materials can be greatly affected by point defects. PtTe2, a 2D material that belongs to the group 10 transition metal dichalcogenides, is a type-II Dirac semimetal, ... -
Imaging domains in a zero-moment half-metal
(2019)We have a choice of methods for examining domains at the surface of a ferromagnet that depend on probing the stray field distribution, but these methods do not work in antiferromagnets or compensated ferrimagnets, which ... -
Intermolecular interactions between salmon calcitonin, hyaluronate, and chitosan and their impact on the process of formation and properties of peptide-loaded nanoparticles.
(2014)The principal aim of this work was to study the formulation of a ternary complex comprising salmon calcitonin (sCT), hyaluronate (HA), and chitosan (CS) in a nanoparticle (NP) format. As interactions between the constituents ... -
Magnetocrystalline anisotropy and exchange probed by high-field anomalous Hall effect in fully compensated half-metallic Mn2RuxGa thin films
(2018)Magnetotransport is investigated in thin films of the half-metallic ferrimagnet Mn2RuxGa in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 58 T. A nonvanishing Hall signal is observed over a broad temperature range, spanning the compensation ... -
Mapping functional groups on oxidised multi-walled carbon nanotubes at the nanometre scale
(2014)Despite voluminous research on the acid oxidation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), there is a distinct lack of experimental results showing distributions of functional groups at the nanometre length scale. Here, functional peaks ...
