Recently the compound TlNi2Se2 has gained interest as a potential playground of unconventional superconductor effects. Heat capacity and magnetization measurements hint at the...

This proposal is to probe the gel structure with High Pressure SANS (HP-SANS) using an in-line pressure cell. The ability to control the properties of supercritical CO2,...

Dynamics of multicomponent mixtures such as polymer blends are typically studied with QENS and deuterium labelling. Difficulties arise in the data analysis if the coherent...

This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)...

This proposal combines optical spectroscopy with neutron scattering using novel labelling strategies to investigate ?amyloid? protein fibrils. Variations in packing and in the...

The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin...

Glycerol, a sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, is a rich and complex system for the study of hydrogen bonded fluids and has been the subject of long-standing scientific...

The microscopic origins of strain softening (Payne Effect) are vital to our understanding of energy dissipation in vehicle tyres. This proposal builds on our recent SANS...

Usually, magnetic materials can be understood by imagining them as orderly rows of communicating, atomic-sized bar magnets (or "spins") which organize themselves into a...

This proposal involves manipulating the curvature of aggregated polar materials in supercritical CO2 (scCO2) by tuning the mixing ratio of fluorocarbon (FC) and hydrocarbon (HC)...

Recent theoretical analyses of quantum spin ice has revealed the present of a novel magnetic excitation whose quantum properties are analogous to photons. This mode is a...

Diblock co-polymers consist of two polymer chains with different chemical properties tied together at a central linking block. The interactions between the two blocks result in...

At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and...

N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as...

Variation in lipid composition between different biological membrane and across membranes are vital for a wide range of cellular functions. Significant differences in lipid...

The dynamics of oil exchange in oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions produced spontaneously by the phase inverse concentration (PIC) method is only little known so far. In this...

We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4...

The dynamic aspects of solubilisation of oils into surfactant systems, often forming microemulsions, are only little known so far, despite their importance for optimising...

Liquid crystal displays are ubiquitous but they are not perfect. It is desirable to reduce the voltage required to switch a pixel from light to dark in order to reduce power...

Liposomes are lipid-based, water-filled vesicles with wide-ranging applications in diagnostics and drug delivery. Phospholipases (PLs) are enzymes that cleave specific bonds in...
