Manipulating and probing the polarisation of a methyl tunnelling system by field-cycling NMR (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., Abu-Khumra, S., Aibout, A., & Horsewill, A. J. (2017). Manipulating and probing the polarisation of a methyl tunnelling system by field-cycling NMR. Journal of Chemical Physics, 146(6), Article 064302. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4975173

In NMR the polarisation of the Zeeman system may be routinely probed and manipulated by applying resonant rf pulses. As with spin-½ nuclei, at low temperature the quantum tunnelling states of a methyl rotor are characterised by two energy levels and...

In this paper, we present an overview of 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of the detailed function and anatomy of sensory areas of the human brain. We discuss the motivation for the studies, with particular emphasis on increasing the... Read More about Exploring structure and function of sensory cortex with 7 T MRI.

Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor instability (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 American Physical Society. The effect of rotation upon the classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability is investigated. We consider a two-layer system with an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the interface between the layers. In general, we... Read More about Rotating Rayleigh-Taylor instability.

Mobility enhancement of CVD graphene by spatially correlated charges (2017)
Journal Article
Turyanska, L., Makarovsky, O., Eaves, L., Patanè, A., & Mori, N. (2017). Mobility enhancement of CVD graphene by spatially correlated charges. 2D Materials, 4(2), Article 025026. https://doi.org/10.1088/2053-1583/aa55b4

The manuscript presents a strategy for enhancing the carrier mobility of single layer CVD graphene (CVD SLG) based on spatially correlated charges. Our Monte Carlo simulations, numerical modeling and the experimental results confirm that spatial corr... Read More about Mobility enhancement of CVD graphene by spatially correlated charges.

Imaging current-induced switching of antiferromagnetic domains in CuMnAs (2017)
Journal Article
Grzybowski, M., Wadley, P., Edmonds, K., Beardsley, R., Hills, V. A., Campion, R., Gallagher, B., Chauhan, J. S., Novák, V., Jungwirth, T., Maccherozzi, F., & Dhesi, S. (2017). Imaging current-induced switching of antiferromagnetic domains in CuMnAs. Physical Review Letters, 118(5), Article 057701. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.057701

The magnetic order in antiferromagnetic materials is hard to control with external magnetic fields. Using X-ray Magnetic Linear Dichroism microscopy, we show that staggered effective fields generated by electrical current can induce modification of t...

Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game (2017)
Journal Article
Burridge, J., Yu, G., & Mao, Y. (in press). Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game. European Physical Journal B: Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 90(13), https://doi.org/10.1140/epjb/e2016-70471-1

We consider a group of agents playing the Hawk-Dove game. These agents have a finite memory of past interactions which they use to optimize their play. By both analytical and numerical approaches, we show that an instability occurs at a critical memo... Read More about Delayed response in the Hawk Dove Game.

The effect of physical fatigue on oscillatory dynamics of the sensorimotor cortex (2017)
Journal Article
Fry, A., Mullinger, K. J., O'Neill, G. C., Brookes, M. J., & Folland, J. P. (2018). The effect of physical fatigue on oscillatory dynamics of the sensorimotor cortex. Acta Physiologica, 220(3), 370-381. https://doi.org/10.1111/apha.12843

Aim: While physical fatigue is known to arise in part from supraspinal mechanisms within the brain exactly how brain activity is modulated during fatigue is not well understood. Therefore, this study examined how typical neural oscillatory responses... Read More about The effect of physical fatigue on oscillatory dynamics of the sensorimotor cortex.

Nonequilibrium effective field theory for absorbing state phase transitions in driven open quantum spin systems (2017)
Journal Article
Buchhold, M., Everest, B., Marcuzzi, M., Lesanovsky, I., & Diehl, S. (2017). Nonequilibrium effective field theory for absorbing state phase transitions in driven open quantum spin systems. Physical Review B, 95, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.95.014308

Phase transitions to absorbing states are among the simplest examples of critical phenomena out of equilibrium. The characteristic feature of these models is the presence of a fluctuationless configuration which the dynamics cannot leave, which has p...
