Probing the electroactive interface of ionic liquids and their solutions
We propose a detailed study of the interfacial structuring of a non-halogenated, and tribologically relevant, ionic liquid (IL) at an electrified interface, as a function of... -
Late antique copper-alloys from Faragola, San Giusto and Canusium (Puglia, It...
From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up... -
Structure of oxidised phospholipid bilayers
Biological membranes protect cells and are essential for their survival and damaged membranes may cause serious harm to the cell. A primary cause of damage to membranes is... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for... -
Effect of temperature on the structure of model wax films as studied by neutr...
Cuticular wax films protect plants by mediating water and nutrient transport from the environment. Surfactant is a key ingredient in agrisprays that can promote the uptake of... -
The effect of an applied electric field on the adsorption and desorption of s...
A major influence on particles and amphiphile adsorption, particularly for charged materials is the surface potential. Recent experiments have shown that this can be manipulated... -
Order and disorder in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds
In the high-performance and low-cost (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds, the detrimental hysteresis has been significantly reduced by balancing Mn:Fe and P:Si ratios, which... -
Lipid exchange between polymer stabilised nanodiscs and biomimetic bilayers a...
Polymer-stabilised lipid nanodiscs are discoidal structures composed on a central core of lipid bilayer encapsulated and stabilised in aqueous solution by amphipathic... -
Reflectometry studies of the mechanism of formation of mesoporous silicate fi...
Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from... -
Satisfying the need for contrast in antimicrobial research
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -
Ion Layering at the Graphene Electrode Surface for Supercapacitors
This proposal aims to combine the approaches of several successful recent neutron reflection studies by our group to directly measure ion layering at electrode surfaces. In this... -
Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation in TiO2
We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
MuSR detection of optically-injected spin-polarized electrons in Silicon
Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum... -
Investigation of the interactions of perfluoroalkyl substances with model wor...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are fully fluorinated, stabile, and surface-active compounds. They contain both a hydrophobic fluorinated carbon chain and an ionizable... -
Non invasive characterization through time of flight neutron diffraction of t...
In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi... -
Sub-micron structure of conjugated polymer interfaces
There are two contributions to the rms roughness of a polymer-polymer interface; i) the so-called ¿intrinsic interfacial width¿ due to mixing of the polymers at a molecular... -
Structure of Confined Salivary Films
Lubrication by saliva is a key factor in oral health and food consumption. It is know that salivary lubrication is mediated by the thin proteinaceous film i.e., the pellicle,...
