We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial...

Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is...

Soft self-assembled structures have been extensively used as drug nanocarriers. Their building blocks, naturally occurring and synthetic amphiphiles (lipids or block...

Water displays a highly complex phase diagram that is key to a range of critical processes, from the evolution of icy moons to that of the Earth's hydrosphere and even of life...

Models of cement have been formulated to further understanding. The dominant being Jenning’s layered colloid model. Therein, idealised silicate layers are interspersed with...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival. The understanding of how these proteins are targeted and folded into this...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival, from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and...

The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the relationships between the processing, nanoscale structure and device performance of bulk heterojunction,...

This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal containing nitroguanidine (NQ)and an energetic salt...

In this experiment we aim to evaluate the structure of titanium-rich glasses as they are compressed. In a previous experiment we have collected data for K2TiSi2O7 glasses with...

We are proposing 4 days of beamtime on GEM/Polaris to conduct the neutron powder diffraction experiments on PdRu alloy nanoparticles supported on CZ (CeO2-ZrO2) before and after...

CeRhIn5 is an antiferromagnetic itinerant magnet which illustrates a temperature and pressure interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Recently, it has been...

The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at...

Grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) will be used to investigate the lateral phase behavior in thin films of blends of electron-donor...

We request 3 days on NIMROD to study the changes in the structure and mesostructure of the anode of a novel high energy-density Na-ion battery during the first charge/discharge...

Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited...

Our aim is to build atomic-scale models for the structures of some new materials that have useful properties for photocatalytic water splitting, an important contemporary area...

Accurate, safe and cheap hydrogen detectors functioning under a wide range of conditions are a vital ingredient for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. A novel, safe and cheap...

Gradient and block copoly(2-oxazoline)s have been prepared comprising a partially deuterated hydrophilic poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) part and a hydrogenated...

Two intact first century AD Romano-British tombs containing rich assemblages of grave offerings were excavated in 2007 by Oxford Archaeology near a section of the A2 route in...
