The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the...

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...

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...

Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that...

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...

Molten chocolate is a dense suspension of solids (mainly sugar) in oil, to which surfactants have been added to improve the flow properties, either during manufacture or in the...

Co-polymers confined in small droplets may have a structure different from that in the bulk. These droplets are produced by annealing a spin-coated polymer film with a thickness...

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...

Magnetic skyrmions have a robust topological magnetic structure, which makes them ideal for use as binary information carriers. The skyrmions appear in a well-ordered lattice...

Our objective is to determine structural models for some complex, mixed-metal oxide phases that are as complete as possible using analysis of PDFs produced from total neutron...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to...

The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives are used in FCC units to convert gasoline...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another...

Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be formed from glycerides and loaded with diverse cargo for healthcare applications. A key advantage of LNPs over liposomes is the significant...

More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low...
