Magnetostriction in (Bi, La)-orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks... -
The use of surfactant structure to control self-assembly induced by the addit...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Search for neutron spin-resonance in the exotic heavy fermion superconductor ...
Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,... -
Deammoniation Investigations of the ammines MX2.nNH3 (M= Mg, X= I,Cl,Br)- pot...
The applicants seek 4 days of beam time on POLARIS to study the deammoniation process of synthesised M(NH3)6X2 (M=Mg, X=I, Cl, Br) which are an important class of materials for... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Magnon decay below the critical field in the S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet...
The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model quantum magnets. This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also to... -
Interaction between superconductivity and magnetism in iron-lead thin films
A previous CRISP measurement allows us to show for the first time using PNR a change in the response due to superconductivity in an Fe/Pb/Fe tri-layer sample. This type of... -
Unusual structural change in geminis above the critical micelle concentration
gemini surfactants are essentially two surfactants joined by a linking chain. We have extensively explored cationic geminis at the air/water interface and they exhibit a range... -
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... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Experiments in the Sulfur-Ammonia Photothermoche...
The following proposal aims to ellucidate the role of ammonium ions in sulfite oxidation reaction. The key step in the sulfur-ammonia photothermochemical cycle, which is one of... -
Neutron Diffraction Analysis of the Crystallography of Early Scientific Instr...
Early scientific instruments are typically made of latten, a quaternary copper alloy (Cu, Zn, Sn, Pb) with many trace elements. The crystallographic structure depends on the... -
Tuneable Creation of Reservoir Structures at the Air/Water Interface
Recently we have exploited non-equilibrium effects in the preparation of super-efficient polyelectrolyte/surfactant films at the air/water interface spread from the dissociation... -
Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -
In-situ high resolution neutron diffraction and Electric polarization measure...
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the WISH instrument team has worked together to enable simultaneous real-time high resolution (powder and single crystal) neutron... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibody and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Phase evolution in the transition from epsilon to gamma glycine
Glycine, the simplest naturally-occurring amino acid, exhibits unusually extensive phase diversity. Three polymorphs are known under ambient conditions. Each shows different... -

Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the... -
Autoxidation vs. Ozonolysis of Surfactant Mixtures Containing Poly-unsaturate...
Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -...
