High pressure charge transitions in PbCoO3
PbCoO3 used to be the missing link in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC... -
Interactions of polyfluorinated substances with a phospholipid bilayer
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their... -
Membrane interactions of virus-like silica nanoparticles as antimicrobial pep...
As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect in Multilayers
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin... -
The quest for fully hydrogen-ordered ice XIV
Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its... -
Local ordering in the pressure-induced order-disorder transition in ammonium ...
Ammonium bromide undergoes a pressure-induced order-disorder transition, where the disordered (plastic) phase is thought to consist of a random distribution of ammonium cations... -
Chain conformations in aligned electrospun fibres
This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is focused on the electrospinning... -
Compressibility and Tilting of Polyhedra within Sr2NiMoO6 at High Pressure
Ordered double perovskites (also known as elpasolites) have the general formula A2BBO6 where A is generally a rare earth metal or alkaline earth metal and where B and B are...
