Cation reorientation dynamics in a metal formate perovskite
Hybrid metal-organic perovskites are promising functional materials, but the complex interactions between organic cations and the framework surrounding them are difficult to... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks... -

The dynamical transition in dry proteins?
Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum... -
The dynamics of wild type and mutated myelin proteins P2 and CNPase.
The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of... -
Low energy spin dynamics of the stoichiometric heavy fermion CeRuSn3
Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy... -
Liquid-liquid immiscibility and glass transitions in aqueous solutions
The microscopic structure of a dilute solution of LiCl in water is determined at different thermodynamic states in both the liquid and glassy phases. This solution exhibits... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
High-energy magnetic excitations in FeSe
FeSe (Tc = 9 K) being structurally the simplest iron based superconductor shows some exotic properties. For instance, it only undergoes a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural... -
Pressure-temperature phase diagram of of the Jahn-Teller transition in LaMnO3
The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists.... -
Adamantane in amorphous ice: A nanoprobe for detecting sintering, glass-trans...
Ice and carbon exist in vast quantities in our Universe. In fact, they often coexist, and form interfaces in highly diverse settings and environments. These include, for... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Q-dependence of the single particle motion in a molten alkali halide
An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion... -
Probing nanophase segregation in aqueous solutions
In recent experiments we accidentally observed the onset of nanophase segregation in concentrated LiCl-water solutions by increasing dilution, in the deeply undercooled regime.... -
Water diffusion mechanism in hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonates are highly important in geochemistry and especially in biomineralization. In nature, organisms can form each of the anhydrous polymorphs selectively for... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
Water dynamics in dental zinc cement by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the... -
Investigation of the Dynamic Mechanism of Xylanase by QENS
In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,... -
Copy of: Neutron Diffraction study of the monolayer structures of cyclohexane...
Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of... -
Diamond nanoparticles: a bright future for nano-composites?
Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...
