Study of the interfacial self-assembly of peptide/polymer membranes by neutro...
The interfacial self-assembly between large (polymer) and small (peptide) molecules of opposite charge results in the formation of highly organized membranes. Furhter... -
In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures
The aim is to measure the preferential adsorption of one component in a nematic mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and it is doped with 4-pentyl 4¿-... -
Effects of confinement on polymeric surfactants
Polymeric stabilisers are often used in the preparation of emulsions and dispersions of particles. The purpose of this additive is to help keep the mixture stable so that it can... -
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... -
Magnetism in a charge doped cuprate chain
We have recently succeeded in measuring the excitation spectrum of charge doped cuprate chains with a 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonding geometry. This study resolved a long standing... -
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... -
Copy of: ATmospheric Oxidation of MIxed films studied by Neutron Reflectometr...
Quantifying amount, composition and fate of surface-active organic aerosols originating from cooking processes is a key atmospheric research activity. Our project aims to... -
Investigating the Surface Structure of Ionic Liquid Mixtures using Neutron Re...
The structure of ionic liquid (IL)-gas interfaces is currently a hot topic in the field and understanding of the surface structure of pure ILs is improving. However, very little... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
Compositional analysis and working technique determination of Japanese artwor...
The Japanese section of the Stibbert Museum, in Firenze, is one of the most important in the world, excluding Japan for obvious reasons. Here many different artifacts are... -
Assembling Biomimetic layers on monolayers of Gold Nanoparticles
Gold provides a high quality surface on which to arrange biomolecules such as proteins since we can use cysteine amino acids to deliver gold thiol chemical bonds which can... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies on proton conducting oxides (CaxLa1-x) ~6...
Rare-earth tungstates have recently attracted significant attention due to its high-temperature proton or mixed proton-electron conductivity. The proton conductivity in La6WO12... -

Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Carbonates
We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The... -
The structure and orientation of the Bam complex in the Gram-negative outer m...
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterialsurvival, from providing basic physiological functions, to aiding virulence and... -

Search for Antiferromagnetic order in ZrMn2
Today, about seventy years after Laves, there exists a fairly good knowledge about the basic structural principles of Laves phases but many questions still remain. AMn-type... -
Using neutron reflectivity from monolayer models of bacterial cell membranes ...
Antimicrobial peptides are being investigated as an alternative to antibiotics, as bacteria seem less able to acquire resistance to them. We have been investigating the way in...
