Personal profile
Research overview
Microscopic probes (SANS, 5SR) applied to superconducting and magnetic systems (see below).
Superconductivity: magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems, vortex matter, mesoscopic systems, thin films and multilayers
Magnetism: magnetic structures of single crystals, multilayers, including magnetic-superconductor interfaces and magnetic recording media, artificial spin-ice systems, lithographically defined nanomagnetic systems.
Neutron Scattering: small angle scattering (SANS), polarised neutron reflectometry (PNR), powder and four axis magnetic crystallography.
Muon spin rotation/relaxation: particularly for vortex structures in superconductors. Low energy muon spin rotation/relaxation in superconducting and magnetic multilayers.
Future research
Short Term : Magnetism and superconductivity in artificial materials including thin films and lithographically defined nanoscale systems. This includes same-spin triplet superconductivity, spin-ice systems and artificial mutliferroics.
