We propose to investigate with polarized neutron reflection (PNR) measurements the magnetic moment and interface properties of Co- and Fe-doped HfO2 thin films and undoped HfO2...

Off-specular neutron reflection is potentially a powerful technique for studying the lateral organisation of phospholipid bilayers. However, this has not yet been demonstrated....

Time-of-Flight Neutron Diffraction Bulk Texture Evalution of Coarse-Grain Rolled Aluminum Alloy

We have synthesised the ill characterised perovskite PbRuO3 at high pressure and temperature. Synchrotron powder x-ray diffraction shows the room temperature structure to be...

Hydrogen chloride exhibits a complex phase diagram account made of its simple molecular structure. Three crystalline phases are known to exist at ambient pressure below its...

The R&D activity on neutron detectors is strategic and instrumental for the development of reliable application of the neutron techniques. We propose to use two equal...

We propose to measure the incoherent neutron spectra of lithium amide (LiNH_2) and imide (Li_2NH) at low temperature (T<20 K). These two substances belong to the Li-H-N...

The aim of the present neutron reflectivity proposal is to obtain stereochemical and kinetic information studying the thermo-lyotropic behaviour of the lipid mixture DOPC-DDAB...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related...

A bistable composite tape-spring is a thin-walled, laminated open slit tube, which is stable in both the extended and coiled configurations. For its lightweight and...

We propose to collect, on TOSCA, the IINS spectrum of the [(Ph3P)2N] [HCo6(CO)15] complex to obtain information on the dynamics of the interstitial hydride and the influence, on...

Pyrochlore to Defect- Fluorite Transition Studies in Holmium-Titanate based Composition using Neutron Powder Diffraction Technique

We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the...

We plan to use the OFFSPEC SPIN-Echo reflectometer to study the mechanism of the 'peristaltic mode' in the spinodal dewetting of thin polymer films. In the peristaltic mode the...

The proposing team is interested in exploring the rotational and translational dynamics of molecular hydrogen trapped in water-based cages (clathrate hydrates). These systems...
