Solution structures of the immunologically important proteins IgA and C3b
We are unravelling the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments in the IgA antibody family important in mucosal immunology. Having completed the structures for IgA... -
Hysteresis in the deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been... -
YMnO3-x : Mn(I) in a mixed metal oxide ?
Topotactic reduction of YMnO3 with CaH2 yields three new reduced phases. Two of these phases appear to have compositions close to YMnO2.5 but with very different anion vacancy... -
The structures of PZT in its ¿rhombohedral¿ phases and their dependence on th...
In the piezoelectric ceramic material PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) there is controversy about the structure of PZT at the Zr-rich end. This region has always been considered to be of... -
The high-pressure structures of carbon dioxide hydrate
The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a... -
O/N-distribution in host lattices for rare-earth doped phosphors in light emi...
Nitridosilicates and oxonitridosilicates (sions) gain more and more importance as host lattices for rare-earth doped phosphors in light emitting diodes. By means of... -
Interfacial structure in self-assembling conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices
The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to... -
Defect Structure in Lead Doped Bismuth Yttrates
Stabilised bismuth oxides are of interest as intermediate temperature solid electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical device applications. Lead doping into bismuth yttrate... -
High resolution structures of the simple halogen bonded complexes.
We propose a high-resolution powder neutron diffraction study of the archetypal donor-acceptor complexes (CD3)3N...I2; (CD3)3N...ICl; C5D5N¿ICl; and C5D5N¿IBr. These are the... -
Correlation of structures, compositions and magnetism of copper-deficient lay...
This is part of a larger experiment which will investigate three related systems which contain copper deficient anti-fluorite-type copper sulfide layers. The overall aim is to... -
SANS study of self assembled structures formed from salicylate surfactant in ...
We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of new ruthenate perovskites
Ruthenate perovskites have a diverse range of electronic properties originating from electron-electron correlations within broad 4d bands. We have recently investigated the high... -
Non-uniform elastic deformation of layered crystal structures
The aim of the experiment is to determine the relative compressibility of the structural layers in three 211 MAX phases (Ti2AlC, Ta2AlC and Cr2AlC) using the PEARL-HiPr beam... -
Neutron scattering from topological magnetic structures in Fe1-xCoxSi
FeSi is a member of the transition metal (TM) monosilicides. The crystal structure is isostructural from MnSi through to CoSi with magnetic properties that alter dramatically... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of EuWO1+xN2-x
Eu2+ d0- transition metal perovskites are of interest as potential multiferroics when undoped, or as CMR materials. EuWO1+xN2-x is a new magnetoresistive material and exists... -
Analysis of magnetic properties via the F-mu-F state in inorganic flourides
Here we propose to investigate the fluroide containing compounds - AgF2, CuF2 and Cs2CuF4. By taking advantage of the F-mu-F coupling wich occurs in these compounds, we will... -
Solution structures of the immunologically important proteins IgG and C3b
IgG antibody represents one-third of new drugs currently in development. We will unravel the solution structures of the Fab and Fc fragments within IgG. Following our earlier... -
Defect structures, stoichiometry, ionic mobility and magnetism in lithium nit...
Lithium ternary nitrides are emerging as promising candidates in several applications. They are currently a key focus in the search for improved anode materials in lithium ion... -
Co-surfactancy of oil-soluble and water-soluble surfactants in emulsion stabi...
The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of the anionogenic magnet RbO1.75
We propose to use GEM to study both the crystal structure of RbO1.75 between room temperature and 2 K and its low-temperature magnetic structure. Lab X-ray diffraction data show...
