Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This application is for funding an extensive programme for the production, characterisation and physical measurement of magnetic layers and superlattices grown by MBE. The proposal contains a number of interrelated objectives outlined above with emphasis on the basic physics underpinning magnetotransport, coupling and magnetic moments. Novel features of the case include studies of non-ideal interfaces by point contacts, transport through domain walls, CPP weak localisation effects in aperiodic multilayers, growth of Fe/Cr (x), Fe/Mn(x) alloy layers for PNR studies and the development of MOKE-SNOM.These specific problems stem from the long-term interest in electron transport at Leeds and that is the central thrust of the proposal. However of equal importance to the outcome of the research is the exploitation of a range of characterisation techniques, some of which will be in-house and others by new and established collaborators.
