Non-collinear spin materials are an exciting class of materials that are of great interest from both a fundamental materials science point of view and also with their possible applications in energy-efficient technological devices. Here we introduce... Read More about Non-collinear spin in electronic structure calculations.

A critical role for iron and zinc homeostatic systems in the evolutionary adaptation of Escherichia coli to metal restriction (2023)
Journal Article
Paterson, J. R., Wadsworth, J. M., Hu, P., & Sharples, G. J. (2023). A critical role for iron and zinc homeostatic systems in the evolutionary adaptation of Escherichia coli to metal restriction. Microbial Genomics, 9(12), Article 001153. https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.001153

Host nutritional immunity utilizes metal deprivation to help prevent microbial infection. To investigate bacterial adaptation to such restrictive conditions, we conducted experimental evolution with two metal sequestering agents. Ethylenediaminetetra...

Soil–Water Retention Curve Prediction for Compacted London Clay Subjected to Moisture Cycles (2023)
Journal Article
Dias, A. S., Hughes, P. N., & Toll, D. G. (in press). Soil–Water Retention Curve Prediction for Compacted London Clay Subjected to Moisture Cycles. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10706-023-02706-z

The evolution of the hydraulic properties of London Clay when compacted at a range of initial conditions (density and water content) was investigated. The soil–water retention curve (SWRC) is observed to change as the soil is subjected to cycles of w...

International Mediation, Identity Construction, and Normative Change (2023)
Journal Article
Clowry, S. (in press). International Mediation, Identity Construction, and Normative Change. International Negotiation, 1-36. https://doi.org/10.1163/15718069-bja10088

In this article, I argue the following: mediation can operate as an arena in which identities are reconstructed while the very occurrence of mediation can trigger and fuel processes of identity reconstruction. More precisely, the norms promoted throu... Read More about International Mediation, Identity Construction, and Normative Change.

Non-uniform Gd distribution and magnetization profiles within GdCoFe alloy thin films (2023)
Journal Article
Inyang, O., Swindells, C., Rianto, D., Bouchenoire, L., Morris, R. J. H., Merkulov, A., …Atkinson, D. (2023). Non-uniform Gd distribution and magnetization profiles within GdCoFe alloy thin films. Applied Physics Letters, 123(12), Article 122403. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0165423

Rare earth (RE):transition metal (TM) ferrimagnetic alloys continue to attract significant attention for spintronics. This work focuses on the elemental distribution of RE and TM elements throughout the thickness of nominally uniform films and the re...
