Structural changes of lecithin wormlike micelles by adding solutes
Lecithin is a natural zwitterionic gemini surfactant that self-assembles in a hydrocarbon solvent, forming spherical or ellipsoidal inverse micelles, which grow into giant... -
Analysis of the local residual stress field in gas metal arc welds treated us...
Localised high-pressure rolling of welded joints in structural materials is currently being investigated as an industrially relevant means of eliminating harmful residual... -
Structural analysis of amino acyl-tRNA-dependent Ligation Reactions in Bacter...
Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Structural Characterisation of Silicon Doped Perovskite Manganates and Ferrat...
Our research group have been investigating the structure-property relationship in solid oxide fuel cell materials, with the aim of developing new materials with improved... -
Structural studies of mixed anionic and cationic surfactants at the charge me...
This proposal is concerned with the structural study of anionic and cationic surfactant mixture on a charged metal oxide surface using neutron reflectivity. Also to evaluate the... -
Structural examination of aqueous perchlorate at low temperature
In 2008 NASA¿s Phoenix Lander mission landed on the surface of Mars to complete physical and chemical analyses aimed at characterising the history of water and potential... -
NIMROD: Continuation of the Structural Investigations of the Surfactant Coati...
This proposal aims to further investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid... -
Structural and magnetic studies of the alkali sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent... -
Structural relaxation in LiCl 6D2O
We propose to measure the structural relaxation in this prototype glass former. The structural ralaxation time will be obtained at the structure factor maximum. We suppose that... -
Structural studies of Fe-pnictide superconductors using neutron total scattering
The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has led to the anticipation that they might lead to new insights into the origins of... -
Solubilisation of Drug Molecules in Nonionic Surfactant Micelles: Structural ...
This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the... -
Structural development during crystallisation of synthetic polymers
We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are two key length scales:... -
Structural determination of non-stoichiomentric phases Li2+yND for 0<y<1
In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of... -
Structural characterization of the interactions between Ionic liquids and MOFs
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered... -
Structural transformations in pure and Ba-doped PbSc$_{0.5}$Nb$_{0.5}$O$_3$ u...
Lead scandium niobate (PSN) belongs to the class of perovskite-type relaxor ferroelectrics, which are among the key functional materials. Due to their structural complexity, the... -
Structural origin of anomalous relaxation behaviour in alcohol-water mixtures
In recent dielectric and calorimetric studies of some alcohol-water mixtures we have discovered unexpected and unexplained relaxation behaviours. Our aim with this proposal is... -
Structural distortions and magnetic ordering in oxygen depleted spin ice
Geometrical frustration in the spin ice material Dy2Ti2O7 leads to macroscopic degeneracy and the observation of magnetic diffuse neutron scattering down to the lowest... -
