We focus on experimental work centred on spintronics. In particular, we fabricate nanostructures from a variety of materials and investigate their properties as a function of structure, temperature, and magnetic field. We are particularly interested in electron transport in novel structures and materials. One of our strengths is our ability to fabricate a wide range of structures, including spin-valves, tunnel junctions, ferromagnet/superconductor junctions, and quantum point contacts for Andreev scattering. Structures are produced using, for example, shadow masks, MBE for self-organisation, lithography, templates, and FIB processing. We characterise these structures using neutron and X-ray scattering, AFM/STM, and magnetometry.
