Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

CrB2, like MnB2, are transition metal diborides that have magnetically ordered ground states. Preliminary neutron (TAS) work and in house lab indicated that the dispersion has...

It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a...

Quantum phase transitions have recently received a lot of interest in various different fields of physics and the emergent universal properties have been studied in very...

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

SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide...

A high-resolution powder neutron diffraction study of the potassium bronzes KV5O13 and K2V8O21 is proposed. The structure of KV5O13 is unknown, while K2V8O21 is believed to...

Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide...

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...

Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH.

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...

This study aims to observe the magnetic properties of a family of arrays of permalloy antidots. Antidots are grown, by means of magnetron sputtering, on top of an anodised...

The immersion deposition of silver onto copper and brass from deep eutectic solvents (DES) is a novel method for protecting the surface of printed circuit boards. Background...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. Examples include protein tertiary...

The aim of this proposal is to study the structure of hydrogel systems formed from fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC) protected peptides, via the use of nitric oxide radicals....

Organic semiconductors have been of major interest in recent years. Amplified by the transition from fundamental physics to new commercial products and technologies, this new...

In the past years we have developed a method measuring carrier recombination lifetime in semiconductors using the photo-MuSR setup in HIFI. These studies have focused on...

Compounds of ethanol and ammonia have been known for over a century but no structural characterisation has ever been carried out. These materials allow us to examine a range of...

A broad fundamental understanding of the design and properties of ionic liquids underpins their developing and future applications, which include accessing cellulosic polymers...
