Neutron reflectivity will be used to investigate the composition in the direction perpendicular to the substrate for films of blends of electron-donor... -
Understanding the evolution of a magnetic soliton after nucleation 3d magneti...
The aim of this proposal is to understand the initial propagation of a sharp magnetic soliton after nucleation in tall synthetic ferrimagnetic structures (with six and eight... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,... -
Comparison Phase-object approximation and dynamical scattering theory
X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed... -
Magnetic contrast NR to resolve MscL opening under PXG challenge
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock, but, as with all ion channels, they have the potential to act as an Achilles heel,... -
Structure of Confined Albumin Layers
In the context of a project in collaboration with ISIS that focuses on structural studies under mechanical confinement, with a specific focus on biological lubricants, the... -
Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Po...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)... -
Neutron reflectivity of water soluble conjugated polymer/surfactant films
Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing.... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Phase separation of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon surfactants at the air/water int...
Off-specular neutron reflection beamtime is requested to study phase separation at the air/water interface. Stability of systems, such as polymers, is a major area of interest... -
The Effect of solution pH on the Interaction between poly(silicic) acid and D...
We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water... -

Ageing Effects in Polymer Surfactant Films
We have recently reported a remarkably rich range of surface segregation and self-organisation behaviour for surfactants and plasticisers in PVA film. These experiments are... -
Uncompensated moments in antiferromagnetic barriers in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 / La0.3...
Recently, we have demonstrated that a large ferromagnetic moment can be induced at theinsulating barrier (La0.3Ca0.7MnO3 (LC7MO)) separating two... -
Adsorption of hexadecyl maltoside on hydrophobised silica
The surface properties of alkylglycosides is of large interest as these non-ionic surfactants have proved to be versatile ingredients in manifold formulated products such as... -
Interface between FeF2 and Bi2Se3
One of the current challenges in solid state physics is the observation and ultimately control of the Majorana excitations sometimes called Majorana fermions. Devices based on... -
Neutron Reflection at the Mica Water Interface
Mica is an exceptionally important mineral in surface science, which until now has been inaccessible by neutron reflection. Here we propose a novel attachment method unlocking... -
Proteins of Different Size and Globular Stability Adsorbed at Oil/Water Inter...
In this work we explore how to use neutron reflection to study protein adsorption at the oil/water interface. Inter is preferred because we have built technical capability on... -
Using SERGIS to characterise monolayer buckling on the approach to collapse
Thin films just one or a few molecules thick can play an important role in controlling many important phenomena. This includes the lipid monolayers that coat the surface of our... -
Controlling the morphology of fullerene-free polymer solar cells using additi...
We have recently demonstrated, using neutron reflectivity in combination with other techniques, that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO)...
