Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -

PNR determination of magnetic interface states in ultrathin FePt/FeRh films
We propose to use polarized neutron reflectivity (PNR) to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of thin (< 10nm) exchange coupled FePt/FeRh films. FePt/FeRh is... -
Investigation of compressive residual stresses induced by ultrasonic peening ...
Surface stress engineering processes aim to improve the life of components through the generation of favorable compressive residual stress fields by locally plastically... -
Probing the structure/function relationship of NhaA protein incorporated into...
We propose to perform combined measurements of neutron reflectometry (NR) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) to investigate the structure/function relationship of tethered bilayer... -
Temperature dependence of the NO3-initiated oxidation of cerebroside/fatty ac...
We will add temperature control to our reaction chamber for simultaneous neutron reflectometry(NR) and infra-red reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). This new set-up will... -
Solution structures of the immunologically important proteins IgG and C3b
IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development. We will unravel the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments within IgG. Following our earlier... -
What processes dominate porosity and structure evolution in Amorphous Solid W...
This experiment will measure the microstructure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold plate, an excellent... -
Two-Dimensional Incommensurate Modulation in Melilite
We have prepared large single crystals of the melilite electroltyes Ln1+xCaxGa3O7+d; (Ln = La and Nd; x = 0 and 0.5) using a floating zone mirror furnace. We have characterised... -
Low energy fluctuations near quantum criticality in CeRh6(Ge1􀀀xSix)4
In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the... -
Oxidation of bilayer of DPPC on a mineral interface by aqueous OH radical ki...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
PROTON DYNAMICS IN ALKYLAMMONIUM NITRATE IONIC LIQUIDS
Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. Protonated ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell... -
Unveiling the exotic quantum critical point in CeCu6-xAgx
The heavy fermion system CeCu6-xAux is arguably the most important (and studied) heavy fermion series which exhibits a quantum critical point. In recent years several new... -
Simultaneous Conductivity-Diffraction Studies of Halide Superionics
We request 5 days beamtime on the Polaris diffractometer to perform simultaneous ionic conductivity and neutron powder diffraction measurements of five superionic binary... -
Nuclear Structures of Lithium Substituted Layered Transition Metal Oxide Cath...
Novel cathode materials for rechargeable batteries have been under intense investigation since high cost and toxicity of current Li-ion batteries. We propose to study the... -
Spin dynamics in the S=1/2 zigzag spin chain magnets K2CuCl2SO4 and Na2CuCl2SO4
We have recently succeeded to synthesize pure-phase of K2CuCl2SO4 and Na2CuCl2SO4. In addition, we succeeded to grow the large single crystals (~ 10×10×10 mm3). K2CuCl2SO4 is a... -
Round Robin on TOF Texture Analysis: ENGIN-X
In view of advances in texture research at pulsed neutron sources, we propose that ISIS participates in a 'Texture Round Robin' to benchmark the existing texture analysis... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -
Variable Temperature studies of an anomalous proton sponge benzoic acid co-cr...
As part of a long-running programme, we have identified many co-crystallisation systems producing hydrogen-bonded molecular complexes yielding fascinating X-ray diffraction and... -
