Encapsulation of monomers in cationic surfactant-polymer films
We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the highly... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Two-Dimensional Triangular Mott Insulator
The 1T polytype of the transition-metal dichalchogenide TaS2 is a system with a very rich phase diagram. Upon cooling down, the crystal goes through a series of charge density... -
Understanding the structural change of caseinate under mild heat and shear
Producing meat analogue instead of real meat is an effective way to reduce carbon emission and improve animal welfare. Calcium caseinate is a prominent candidate for making a... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous magnesium carbonate (AMC)
Biominerals, including calcium carbonates, are found in a range of organisms. Although amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is inherently unstable, it is a key material in... -
Tuning the Magnetic Properties of γ-Fe2O3 Fe3O4 Thin Films for Atom Tr...
In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that... -
Role of DMSO in Ionic Liquid / DMSO Mixtures
This proposal aims to study the interactions within a prototypical ionic liquid / co-solvent system. Such systems are currently under investigation as potential solvating media... -
Null Isotope Study of Lithium Borogermanate Glasses - continuation
Alkali borogermanate glasses are topologically complex, in that [BOn] (n = 3, 4)and [GeOn] (n = 4, 5, 6) polyhedra can coexist. Equilibrium between these structural units has... -
The Bronze Age from Iberian Peninsula and its metalwork
The study aims to provide information about manufacturing technologies and internal morphology of 10 leaded bronzes palstaves, containing a ball of pure lead in their bulk,... -
Structure of amorphous Porous Aromatic Framework 1
Materials that are porous at the atomic scale have proven to be important for many applications, including gas capture and catalysis. Recently it has become possible to make... -
Magnetic Properties of Nano-Size La2CuO4
The grain size dependence of magnetic properties of the mother material of the high-Tc cuprate, La2CuO4 (LCO), is proposed to study by muSR. Although LCO shows an... -
Alcohols in Cationic Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of water and small molecule binding around surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of their molecular... -
Gamma Dopplerimetry to Determine the Environment of Iodine in Halogen Bonded ...
Molecular self-assembly directed by non-covalent interactions presents a unique opportunity to create precisely engineered functional materials. Halogen bonding is a widely... -
A Structural Study of Alkaline-Earth Tellurite Glasses.
We wish to better understand the interaction between the alkaline earth modifiers and the tellurite glass network. The aim is to relate structural changes in the glasses with... -
Understanding light-induced changes to the miscibility of polymer/fullerene s...
Polymer/fullerene blends represent the most common form of organic solar cell. This proposal forms part of a wider effort in which our motivation is to complement solar cell... -
Magnetic study of the new skyrmion-carrying material CoZnMn
Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another... -
µSR Sudy on Ternary Silicides LaNiSi and LaPtSi
In this proposal we wish to investigate the detailed superconducting properties of two non-centrosymmetric ternary silicides, LaNiSi and LaPtSi. We plan to investigate the time... -
Rietveld refinement of pulsed neutron transmission data
The analysis of Bragg edge in pulsed neutron transmission spectra is finding increasing use in combination with advances in energy selective imaging applications, and it is... -
The structure of nanographene and nanographite intercalates in solution
We aim use SANS to study in situ structure of solutions of uncharged and charged graphene formed by dissolving graphite and graphite intercalation compounds. We wish to compare... -
