Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...

Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from...

Here we propose to look at the structure of two phosphocholine lipids, and their larger scale structures in aqueous solution. Depending on the length of the fatty acid chain in...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are attractive drug candidates because of their selectivity and speed of action against bacteria. We have developed a novel approach to delivering...

A newly discovered novel frustrated antiferromagnets Li3Mg2MO6 (M = Ru, Os) constitutes edge-sharing triangles of M4+ ions (S = 3/2) linked by corner-sharing in the ab-plane....

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

AOT is also known to be very sensitive to the concentration and nature of counter-ions. When adding a sufficient amount of divalent salt to an AOT solution, a very strong Bragg...

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...

In the previous round we trialled use of the new techniques enabled on Larmor which permit simultaneous measurements of nanoscale and macroscale structure. These experiments...

Recently, new type of frustrated magnets, BaV10O15 and SrV10O15, were found to exhibit interesting phenomena due to mixed valence ions forming a modified triangular lattice....

We propose a spectroscopic experiment to characterise the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the nuclear dynamics of Mg and B in the the MgB2 superconductor. The...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...

This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to fully complete the commissioning of a large volume in-situ reaction cell for studying hydrothermal chemical syntheses in...

Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by...

The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will...

Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks...

SnSe has recently been reported to have very good thermoelectric performance. This is linked to an ultralow thermal conductivity and occurs in the B-phase (ZT > 2 above 800...

Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key...

Geometrically frustrated magnetic systems provide a plethora of opportunities to stabilize exotic ground state manifolds and have been at the forefront of current experimental...
