Adsorption of NADH at the electrode/electrolyte interface under electrochemic...
This proposal concerns the adsorption behaviour of a key electron-transfer species, NADH, found in many cells as well as in bioelectrochemical devices used to capture light... -
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering using Neutron Spin echo
We propose a measurement of the effectiveness of using the RF flippers on Offspec in a quasi-elastic mode (theta=90°) with the RF at 0.5MHz. This is important to our future... -
Neutron reflection studies on model wax films reconstituted from chemicals
Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that... -
Substrate-dependent structure of grafted polymer films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We explore PEG-based... -
Heusler Alloy Thin Films for Spin Seebeck Devices
The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a relatively new phenomenon that could be harnessed for waste heat recovery. Its advantages lie with a new device architecture (compared to... -
Visualisation of Multi-component Ion Exchange for Oil Recovery
Release of oil bound to clay minerals by exchange of bridging cations for non-bridging ones is postulated as a major mechanism for enhanced oil recovery. In this work we propose... -
Dynamics of polyaniline film growth, solvation and redox-evolution as a funct...
We propose time-resolved specular neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements during electrodeposition of polyaniline (PAni) films via different electrochemical control functions:... -
Magnetic Roughness controlled by anisotropy
This is a continuation for proposal number 520445, where we looked at the magnetic roughness in the superlattice system Pd/Fe/Pd/Au. The analysis of the previous results is... -
Benchmarking improvements in experimental design in neutron reflectometry
This dataset has no description

Structural changes in electron transfer proteins used in biophotovoltaic cell...
This proposal seeks to gain an understanding of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of a redox membrane protein, cytochrome c, in electrochemical cells using different anode... -
Exploratory SERGIS/SESANS study of Si nanowires
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science as nanometer probes and interfacing with cells. In our work we focus on the interaction between nanowires and a... -
Developing a generic gravimetric method to determine the composition of films...
We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be... -
Interlayer coupling in YIG/NiO/Pt trilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is able to convert a temperature gradient into a spin current. Many potential applications exist for the field of spintronics, which use these spin... -
Non-ionic surfactant induced desorption of a strongly bound cationic layer fr...
In this proposal we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
Direct Observation of Gram Negative Bacterial Membrane Disruption by Supramol...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes. The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Antibiotic paths through the bacterial outer membrane: The strange case of va...
Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is... -
Comparative study of the effect of growth protocols and electrochemical contr...
Although the physical structure and electrochemical properties of thin conducting polymer films are known to be influenced by the method used to deposit them, our understanding... -
Probing the spatial distribution of fluorophores entering nanoscale pores in ...
We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution... -
Proving ground-state ordering in Artificial Spin-Ice systems formed by sub-10...
The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral... -
Interaction of lamellar and non-lamellar lipid mesophases with inorganic nano...
The behavior of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) with biological interfaces is a key research topic, to boost Nanomedicine development. In this respect, 2D lipid assemblies are...
