Polymer-surfactant adsorption at the oil-water interface
Polymer-surfactant stabilised emulsion droplets are a potentially exciting route for micro-encapsulation of volatile agents (such as perfumes, flavours and many other benefit... -
Spontaneous strain and framework distortion in hybrid Prussian blue analogues
The metal-organic Prussian blue analogues (HIm)2K[M(CN)6], where HIm is the imidazolium cation and M = Fe or Co, have switchable dielectric constants, since the imidazolium ions... -
Probing structural subtleties in hydrated lithium-rich anti-perovskites (LiRAPs)
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. However, the... -
Jump diffusion of small molecules in polymers influence of grafting on the ...
The concept of diffusion of light gases through polymers is a widely used in a variety of commercially available materials - food packaging materials, solar cell encapsulants,... -
A structural study of titanium tellurite glasses
Tellurite glasses exhibit strong non-linear properties which are related to the asymmetric environment of the Te atom. The non-linear optical effects are strongest when the Te... -
High Pressure Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
Microemulsions stabilized by magnetic surfactants
Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids... -
The Origin of Anelastic Creep Behaviour
Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can... -
Investigation of the nuclear and magnetic structures of GaV4S8-ySey materials
Skyrmions, nano-sized topological objects, have recently been found in GaV4S8 and GaV4Se8materials. In the search of new Skyrmion hosting materials, we have synthesised the... -
Interaction of muonium centres and excess carriers in highly injected silicon
We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of... -
Resolving the DNA interaction of the MexR antibiotics resistance regulatory p...
Acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) in pathogenic microbials is a world-wide threat to human health. Several MarRlike proteins regulate the expression of efflux pumps, which... -
Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering of Green Dioptase to Unravel the Motion of t...
Green dioptase is a naturally occurring mineral, that has a deep green colour, similar to that of an emerald, and with a chemical formula of CuSiO3.H2O. The Cu lies in quasi-1D... -
Investigating the breakdown of spring-exchange coupling at low temperature on...
Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electricindustry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets.... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of polyethylene from s...
This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved... -

Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
30 T High Magnetic Field Neutron Diffraction on Multi-ferroic TbMnO3
The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed... -
Diamond anvil cell for a combined X-ray and neutron diffraction study of glycine
High pressure is a powerful thermodynamic tool, like temperature, to vary the properties and structure of materials. X-ray and neutron diffraction can be used to measure certain... -
Temperature dependence of phonon modes in protonated (H2O) and deuterated (D2...
Recentely we have measured (RB 1620263) pressure dependence of phonon modes in both the protonated (H2O) and deuterated ice (D2O) (Fig. 2) at ambient, 0.3 kbar, 1.0 kbar and 1.6...
