Elucidating molecular mechanism of membrane disruption by designed α-hel...
We have previously shown that peptides such as G(IIKK)4I-NH2 (G4) can kill bacteria and inhibit cancer cell growth whilst remaining benign to mammalian host cells. We have also... -

Adsorption of Organic Phosphate onto Silicon
This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and... -
Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated... -
A series of robust metal-organic frameworks with exceptional capability for h...
We seek to develop new stable MOFs for practical gas separation and request 3 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites of adsorbed gas molecules (CD4, C2D4 and C2D2)... -
muSR studies of expanded fullerides across the superconductivity dome
FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been... -
Doping Dependence of the Resonant Spin Excitation in Ba1-xKxFe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the... -
Interaction of keratin with surfactants studied by neutron reflection
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how keratin, an important protein component of hair and skin, interacts with ionic surfactants using... -
A model of the bacterial outer membrane containing both Outer Membrane Protei...
We have recently improved the stability and coverage of free standing bilayers (FSB) by the use of a supporting thiolipid layer on gold. The system has been investigated on... -
Measurement of residual polarization and hyperfine transition rate in muonic ...
This proposed experiment is a muon spin rotation measurement of the hyperfine transition rate in muonic atoms involving a proton or deuteron. The residual spin polarization of a... -
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... -
The use of surfactant structure to control self-assembly induced by the addit...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural... -
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... -
Search for neutron spin-resonance in the exotic heavy fermion superconductor ...
Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,... -
Investigating artificial multiferroic structures using polarised neutron refl...
Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that... -
The Interaction of wild-type and mutant Puroindoline B with Model Bacterial M...
Bacterial and fungal infections of cereal crops pose a considerable risk to global food security. Typically plant pathogens are controlled through the use of chemical agents... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Arctic Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" oxidize material at air-w...
The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose to continue laser spectroscopy measurements of the muonium (Mu-) centres in n-type doped silicon carbide. Scanning a wide wavelength range, and changing the relative...
