Neutron reflectivity study on sefl-repairing polymer brushes by surface segre...
We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the... -
Neutron scattering studies of hydrogen rotational transitions in Ni-MOF-74
We propose to use MARI to look at the full rotational spectrum of H2 in Ni-MOF-74 obtaining the full momentum distribution for H2 only at the Ni metal site and one with partial... -
Neutron Residual Stress Measurements of CANDU Piping Components
Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems... -
Neutron Reflectivity Study of Antimicrobial Peptides Interacting with Lipopol...
The outer membrane (OM) of gram negative bacteria is mainly constituted of highly polydisperse and amphiphilic lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin which is accompanied by... -
In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate... -
Li-Ammonia Solutions/Solid - The State of the Proton as Probed By Deep Inelas...
Upon the addition of Li to anhydrous ammonia, the famous Li-Ammonia solutions form through an intriguing metal-insulator transition. These have been studied intensely for many... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous iron sulfates (AFS)
Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Investigations of Hydration Layers on Cobalt Oxi...
We propose to collect INS data with TOSCA on nanoparticles of CoO and Co3O4 with different levels of hydration and size to study the effect of these parameters on the heat... -

Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering study on PrRhSn3
Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a... -
Investigation on Proton Dynamics of Ethylene Glycol Using Quasielastic Neutro...
Ethylene glycol is an industrially important alcohol used as anti-freeze. The presence of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in its liquid and solid state form makes the... -
Neutron Compton Scattering Study of the Co-Nonsolvency Effect
(RB1010481) Neutron Compton Scattering, experiments were done on samples of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide dissolved in D2O, CH3OD and a mix of both solvents. This is of interest... -
Neutron diffraction on Small samples of Functional Materials
High pressure high temperature synthesis has proved a fruitful route to new materials. Though an inherently powerful technique the amount of sample produced is often limited to... -
Neutron Reflection from a Biomineralisation Glycosaminoglycan on Calcite
Here we aim to structurally characterise the formation of adsorbed monolayers of heparin on calcite to address how these species influence biomineralisation and the inhibition... -
