Lithium titanium niobium oxides for battery electrodes
This proposal is part of a lithium ion battery research project for finding new anode materials. The redox couples Ti4+/Ti3+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ in titanium and niobium oxides show a... -
Understanding the interfacial behaviour of bile salts to better engineer lipi...
The current project aims at elucidating how bile salts (BS) structure influences their interfacial behaviour and their impact on fat digestion. Neutron reflectivity (NR) is the... -
Morphology of Laser Annealed AlN:Ag Thin Films
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) are emerging as a promising category of materials, which might find applications in optical storage of information, optical wave guiding,... -
Auger recombination in low temperature silicon measured by photo-MuSR technique
We measure electron-hole recombination rate in low-temperature pure silicon using the photo-MuSR technique. The previous works have measured the recombination rate down to -30... -
In-situ hydration and total scattering studies of Ba2In2-xMxO5 (M = Y and Ga)...
Motivated by the goal of improving the proton conduction in the brownmillerite Ba2In2O5 we are investigating the role of isovalent substitution at the indium sites. In... -
Remanence driven assembly of magnetic nanoparticles on a silicon wafer coated...
Ferrofluids are liquids having magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in a solvent and covered with surfactants to prevent them from agglomeration. The particles can form smectic like... -
Investigation of the relevant thermodynamic parameters for the production of ...
With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously... -
Local structure / electronic-structure relationships in functional materials
This proposal is a low-cost/high-gain first step in an ambitious project: namely, to develop a combined neutron scattering and electronic structure calculation approach as a... -
Effect of alloying on the misfit of Ni-Ni3Al-Ni3V alloys
Ni-base superalloys have long been used in high temperature applications, including the high-demand environments of the high pressure turbines in jet engines. The remarkable... -
Diffusion Kinetics in Multilayer Organic Films for OLEDs
Conjugated organic semiconductors form an exciting class of materials that can be used in a variety of cutting edge technologies including organic light-emitting diodes (OLED),... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Pd, Ni, V, Nb and Ti capping layer clamping effects in hydrogen cycling in Ca...
We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in... -
Characterising the corrosion/inhibition mechanisms of iron in different envir...
Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structuresessentially ferritic ironand are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes... -
Surfactant and Polymer Adsorption on Pyrite Thin Films
Pyrite (FeS2) is a hydrophobic mineral surface, i.e. of a type thus far inaccessible to the types of aqueous adsorption experiments suitable for study by reflectometry (NR), but... -

A new approach to look at membrane in plane organisation via giSANS
Biological membrane in plane organisation is a challenging topic, specially since it has been suggested to depend on curvature. So far the main approach to study curvature... -
Novel dual purpose antimicrobials and co-formulates to regenerate currently r...
The increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is the most significant challenge facing the human-health today in both developed and developing worlds. It's... -
INS study of propane/propene separation using non-charged ITQ-29 Zeolites as ...
Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the... -
Alkylated Graphene nano-lubricant at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. 2-D graphene materials can provide... -
