We propose to use OSIRIS to investigate the changes in magnetic ordering which occur when a series of layered oxysulfides with mixed-valent Mn ions in their oxide layers are...

Asphaltene, the most polar fraction of petroleum crude oil, is present at concentrations that can vary from virtually zero to 20 % w/w depending on the oil origin. Asphaltene is...

We propose to determine the magnetic structure of a new material, CeSbSe, at zero field and in magnetic fields up to 3 T, using the unique capabilities of the WISH...

The stratum corneum layer of the skin acts as a barrier between the body and the external environment. This is achieved by dead corneocytes encased in a lamellar lipid matrix,...

This proposal follows from a short previous test experiment (RB 920345) aimed at understanding the nature of local structure distortions in YBa2Cu3O6.9 and their possible role...

Water is intimately entwined structurally with DNA. Depending on its hydration state, DNA can form several forms: A, B, C, D and Z. In addition water bound in the grooves of the...

Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in...

Using an enzyme mediated conjugation method we have prepared well-designed protein-polymer conjugates using a model protein, green fluorescent protein (GFP) with...

Transition metal oxynitride perovskites are an emerging class of functional materials. However, their oxide/nitride ordering principles were unclear until a recent study of the...

Overdoped manganites were recently shown to exhibit stripe-like ordering of charges orbitals and magnetic moments. The magnetic excitations in these materials show close...

MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic...

Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an integral membrane protein found in mitochondria involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines. DHODH oxidizes dihydroorotate with...

NdMnO3 exhibits A-type antiferromagnetism with TN =73 K. At 15 K, Nd sublattice orders with a (0, -Fy, 0) type ferromagnetic arrangement. Mn spin reorientation from (Ax, Fy, 0)...

The main aim of the proposed experiment is to probe the cation distributions in a series of half-Heusler A(MZ) intermetallic phases that are considered for use in thermoelectric...

Materials with long range ferroelectric or magnetic order are important for applications including data storage, and a current key research area in functional materials is the...

With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONP–water interfaces are of great importance for biomedical...

The perovskite structure with general formula ABX3 describes many hundreds (if not thousands) of materials. Many have interesting and technologically important properties. The...

The proposed 1111 system whose structures are largely underinvestigated exhibits properties with a strong potential for novel properties that complement our knowledge of the...

[BiZn2/3NbO3]x-[BaTiO3]1-x for x up to roughly 0.2, known as BZN-BT is a complex made from one of the most studied materials in the world, BaTiO3 (BT), doped with Bismuth Zinc...

Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of...
