The use of neutron diffraction to determine residual stresses in standard ISI...
High-pressure research is one of the fastest-growing areas of natural science. The European Commission is funding the Sample Environment Joint Research Activity (JRA) between... -
Low field µSR studies of radiation chemistry and free radical reactions by no...
Microwave (MW) assisted chemical reactions are of interest as a green, energy efficient alternative to conventional thermal heating for chemical processes. MW irradiation... -
Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the... -
Polyamorphism in Glassy GeO2
The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure.... -
Off-specular reflectivity from conjugated polymer heterojunctions
Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Effect of pH on the shape of oil-in-water microemulsions formed by a zwitteri...
Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of... -
hrpd programme access
To determine the temperature evolution of the structures of two Bi-based perovskites with commensurate structures through their magnetic transition temperatures to contrast... -
The structure of hydrogen in calcium-ammonia-graphite: an in situ time resolv...
The aim of this proposal is to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of H2 in the two dimensional galleries of stage-I calcium-ammonia-graphite intercalates: this... -
Magnetic Disorder at Fe/MgO and Co/MgO Interfaces
The tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) is critically dependent upon interfacial disorder. Polarised neutron reflectivity will be used to characterise the magnetic roughness at... -
Time reversal symmetry breaking in superconducting PrOs4Sb12 and its alloys
In 2005 we carried out muon spin relaxation (muSR) experiments in Pr(Os1-xRux)4Sb12 alloys at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, to investigate the time-reversal symmetry breaking found in... -
Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -

Excitations, BEC, and partially ordered states of liquid 4He in disorder
We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4... -
Search for Antiferromagnetic order in ZrMn2
Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type... -
Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Carbonates
We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The... -
4f electronic states of the filled skutterudite compound PrFe4Sb12 synthesize...
Crystals of the filled skutterudite PrFe4Sb12 with the 73~87% Pr-site filling fractions prepared under ambient pressure show some magnetic ordering around 5 K and their... -
Does tethered PEG behave as a typical polymer brush at the solid-liquid inter...
We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will... -
Structural study of oxygen ion conduction in microporous Mayenite
The crystal unit cell of mayenite, 12CaO.7Al2O3, consists of a cubic lattice of [Ca24Al28O64]4+ with the remaining 2*O2- contained in cages, which are linked by channels within...
