Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous...

The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic...

In the framework of the PANAREA project, aiming to the development of new instruments for neutron imaging on TS2, the determination of geometric, optic, electronic, and aging...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. In this experiment we would like to extend...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin...

We would like to use SANS to explore the mechanism for preparation and properties of cylindrical micelles. We hope to obtain key information relating to the growth mechanism...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is...

Preliminary measurements of [FeFe]-hydrogenase model complexes were made in a previous experiment using EMU (RB 1010177). The results were interpreted in combination with DFT...

Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this...

YbAgGe has an enhanced electronic specific heat coefficient and two magnetic phase transitions at TM1=0.8K and TM2=0.65K. We have grown a series of TbxYb1-xAgGe and YbAgGe...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

We propose to use OSIRIS to determine the magnetic structures of a series of cobalt oxysulfides containing Co in square planar coordination. Several compositions...

In westernised societies, atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences such as heart disease and stroke constitute the leading cause of death. Thus, the prevention or...

We propose to investigate antimicrobial peptides that self-assemble into well-defined nanostructures. Previous SAXS results have shown that the peptides form rather robust...

In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In...

It has very recently been shown that Mott-insulators located at the crossover regime closer to the itinerant side, such as RNiO3, undergo a pressure-induced transition into a...

We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be...

The aim is to use Neutron Reflectivity (NR) to gain essential information on adsorption properties of practical fluorotelomer surfactants used in fire-fighting foam formulations...

Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the...
