Quasielastic Neutron scattering Study of Water dynamics in Hydrated Cellulose...
The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes... -
Dynamics Of New Photovoltaic Hybrid Perovskite Stabilized in Cubic Symmetry
Hybrid perovskites, composed of an organic cation, inside a post transition metal halide framework, have emerged since 2009 as simple, low cost solar cell materials, with power... -
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... -

Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
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... -
Understanding the effect of catalyst ageing on small molecule diffusion in NO...
We aim to study using QENS the effect of catalyst ageing small molecule (water) mobility in CHA zeolite catalysts used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process for... -
Self-diffusion of water-ethanol mixtures
This project will investigate the self-diffusion of ethanol-water mixtures to support our work on supramolecular gels in drug delivery. As these solvent mixtures are safe to use... -

Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using neutron diffraction
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
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... -
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,... -
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... -
The structure of methane water fluid mixtures at high pressure
We have recently discovered that above 2 GPa in the liquid/fluid forms water and methanebecome miscible in proportions up to 33 mole% of methane. This proposal is for time to... -
Structural relaxation in LiCl 6D2O
We propose to measure the structural relaxation in this prototype glass former. The structural ralaxation time will be obtained at the structure factor maximum. We suppose that... -
Unravelling the ageing mechanims of dry seeds: molecular mobility within biol...
Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Water diffusion in small peptide based supramolecular materials
Supramolecular materials, especially supramolecular gels, have gained increasing importance in material science due to the ease of modification of these materials through...
