Effect of membrane fluidity for novel dendrimer drug interaction and uptake m...
Bacteria growing resistant to common antibiotics is a growing problem and research in new types of medicines which do not induce resistance is therefore very important. Novel... -

The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd... -
Switchable adhesion between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes: dependence o...
Tuning the interactions between different surfaces has technological benefits in areas such as adhesion, compatibilisation and nano-actuators. We shall study the interaction... -
The effect of redox on the substitution mechanism of Ti in meteoritic hibonite
We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger... -
The mechanism of cuprate superconductivity investigated in CLBLCO single crys...
Although high quality single crystals of cuprate superconductors have been available for quite some time, comparing the properties of different crystals often raised more... -
Spin Dynamics in the Quantum Critical and Ferromagnetic Regimes of URu2-xRe
Recently, there has been a significant amount of interest in quantum phase transitions and non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior exhibited by heavy-fermion compounds. Interestingly... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
Gold, in its nano-scale, has been found to be very effective catalyst for oxidation reactions. More recently, it was shown that supported Au-Pd catalysts can be used for... -
Defect Structure in Lead Doped Bismuth Yttrates
Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate... -
Lipopolysaccharide-antimicrobial peptide complexes in solution:elucidation of...
Lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin (LPS) is an amphiphilic macromolecule which constitutes the outer membrane of gram negative bacteria.During infection, LPS is released from the... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
The ground state of a Kondo ion: V dissolved in the noble metal Au.
The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled... -

Evolving structures of oxysulfide battery materials
This proposal aims to investigate the evolution of the structures of layered oxysulfide materials which show promise as lithium ion battery electrodes. The lithiation of... -
Network compression and pressure-induced amorphisation in Zn(CN)2
Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour... -
Transition metal carbides via novel, ultrafast microwave synthesis; Reaction ...
We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions... -
