The purpose with the proposed project is to provide a better understanding of structural changes in interfacial lipid layers due action of lipolytic enzymes. In this study we...

Pyrochlore magnets of formula R2Ti2O7 or R2Sn2O7 constitute the paradigm for geometrical frustration on a 3D lattice. Spinel compounds CdR2X4, where the R sublattice forms a...

It has been suggested that within green dipotase there the magnetism is dominated by quantum flucuations but evidence for this is not definitive. This means that in this...

We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change...

As part of a project to develop new electronic materials based on the coupling of electronic and structural properties in new perovskites we have been investigating the...

Amorphous molecular magnetic materials Ni2(OA) (OA:organic acceptor) were reported to exhibit ferromagnetism with Curie temperatures >400K. This work is controversial as it...

Nanodiscs are self assembled complexes of phospholipids and a class of amphipathic helical proteins termed membrane scaffold proteins . The proteins and lipids self-assemble...

The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This...

An unusual series of amphiphilic molecules that form surface films on water have been investigated using a combination of Langmuir¿Blodget, ellispometric, and non-linear laser...

In recent years, nanoparticles have been a major source of interest in a wide range of fields. Our long term objectives are tuning the free radical reactivity on the surface of...

The basis of a biological cell membrane is a lipid bilayer containing functional proteins. Its purpose is to form a selective barrier that separates the aqueous fluids inside...

LaCoO3 and A-site Sr doped LaCoO3 have been an intense research area in recent days due to their complex magnetic phase diagram and another additional degree of freedom,...

The di-radical (DR) that has an open-shell ground-state singlet, and an excited-state triplet, with a rather small energy gap between, has shown its outstanding performance in...

The fluorinated ionomer Nafion is a material that provides efficient proton conducting membranes for application in important technological areas such as hydrogen fuel cells....

ScF3 is a material with the ReO3 structure which shows negative thermal expansion. This experiment will use implanted muons to create an F-mu-F state in this structure and then...

Small particles with dimensions of a few hundred nanometers tend to behave differently when confined in small spaces. Examples of such situations are easy to find in nature --...

Neutron reflectometry will be used to characterise the cellular membrane binding interaction of alpha-synuclein under conditions mimicking oxidative stress. Alpha-synuclein is...

One goal of our research into the nanoengineering of molecular magnets is a detailed understanding of the relationship between the structure and composition of a system and its...

In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high...

The iron-based superconductors are at the forefront of the research on unconventional superconductivity. The Barium-122 systems, doped with electrons, reveal a non-trivial...
