L-Alanine above 10 GPa
Recently we studied L-alanine to 9.85 GPa. This is the highest pressure for which structural data are available for any organic system larger than methane. The results enabled... -
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... -
Low energy inelastic neutron studies in Ni-Mn-Sn based shape memory alloy
The composition Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 belongs to the group of metamagnetic shape memory alloys and it shows multiple magnetic phases as a function of temperature. In a recent muon... -
Interaction and dynamics of deep eutectics (alkylamide + electrolyte): Depend...
Deep eutectics (DEs) are a novel class of solvents analogous in their physiochemical properties to ionic liquids. The charge delocalization due to hydrogen-bonding between the... -
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... -
Phase behaviour of methane clathrate under conditions relevant to Titan's int...
Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is... -
Correlation between Internal Dynamics and Microstructure in Ionic Micelles
Despite the extensive characterization of the structure and macroscopic behavior of micelles, the fast local dynamics of surfactants in micelles and their correlation with... -
Effects of Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on the Microscopic Dynamics of...
Dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), is a double chain synthetic cationic lipid that conforms the membrane-like bilayer structure and has found widespread use in several... -
Dynamics of in Poly(vinyl alcohol)-SiC Nanofiber Composite
Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to...
