We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the... -
Packing of DNA in glioma nuclei
To answer the question how DNA is packed inside the interphase nucleus at the micron scale, we propose SESANS experiment using contrast variation technique from human glioma... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
Bi0.775Ln0.225O1.5 (Ln = La, Dy) Oxide Ion Conductors: Local Structure, Compl...
Ionic conductivity is a property where a material is able to conduct electricity through the movement of ions. Oxide ion conductors can be used in solid oxide fuel cells, which... -
Devil's staircase in the Kondo lattice semimetal CeSbSe
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... -
CO2-philic Low Surface Energy Surfactants for applications in Enhanced Oil Re...
In recent years, there has been an enormous interest in the study of surfactants for supercritical CO2 (scCO2). One important potential application of these materials is in... -
Cross-linked Electrospun Fibres containing Cellulose
In this proposal we shall explore the nature of electrospun fibres produced from blends of cellulose and polystyrene which we shall use as a model to develop high strength... -
Investigating the uptake of cyclohexanone oxime in hierarchically-porous cata...
Sustainable technologies for polymer manufacture remain an important target of catalyst research. Thus, we have developed a hierarchically-porous (HP) SAPO (containing... -
SANS study of interaction of iron with alginate
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK with approximately 41,000 individuals in the UK diagnosed annually. Importantly it is estimated that over half of all... -
Are ice particles in the laboratory "good" analogues for collision studies of...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron cm size range, where relative velocities... -
Possible amorphous:amorphous phase separation in bioactive glass containing s...
There is an interest in understanding the nature of fluoro-alumino-silicate glasses based upon the apatite stoichiometric composition and of potential within ionomer cements for... -
Neutron reflectivity investigation of hydrogen content in Aluminium/Duplex st...
The need for structural materials that can resist hydrogen assisted degradation becomes critical for the continuation of the development of the hydrogen economy. A new neutron... -
Morphology and Phase Diagram of Thermoresponsive Polymer-Protein Conjugates
Using an enzyme mediated conjugation method we have prepared well-designed protein-polymer conjugates using a model protein, green fluorescent protein (GFP) with... -
Silk fibrillogenesis: Morphology, structure and hydration of the intermediate...
At the heart of protein¿s aggregation are specific molecular events; and how they are modulated by changes in solvent conditions is key to our understanding and control of... -
Quasi-elastic neutron study of the organic cation dynamics in the halide pero...
Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this... -
Probing Dirac magnons in a honeycomb ferromagnet
Studying bosonic analogues of fermions in topological electron systems is one of the hottest areas. They are featured by linear band crossing points at finite energy in the... -
Time of Flight MISANS
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... -
An Investigation of the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the Hydr...
The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the melting transition of bulk and confined water with an applied electric... -
