Structure of Meibomian lpid films at the air-water interface using
The tear film of the eye has an outer meibomian lipid layer (TFLL) that allows tears to spread across the eye and remain stable. Our Langmuir trough and other studies show that... -
Large deformation and mechanical effects of damage in polycrystalline materia...
Metallic materials are widely used in industry. It is now classical to develop numerical simulation for their manufacturing processes in finite transformation and this is... -
Are ice particles in the laboratory "good" analogues for collision studies of...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron cm size range, where relative velocities... -
Determining the Electromechanical Response Mechanism of Nanostructured Ionic ...
One of the rapidly developing frontiers in research is focused on the design of materials that have targeted functionalities and tunable responses to external stimuli. A chief... -
Magnetic and Structural Studies on Oxychalcogenides
In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structures (both atomic and magnetic) of a variety of oxychalcogenide phases: La2O2Se2Fe2O, Ce2O2Se2Mn and... -
The Effect of Temperature on Liquid 1-Methylnaphthalene Structure: An Integra...
We are studying asphaltene behavior in multiple solvent environments to investigate the key motives behind polyaromatic hydrocarbon self-aggregation. We have found that 1-... -
Revealing deformation mechanisms in a novel eutectic high entropy alloy at cr...
In recent years, an exciting new type of engineering materials called high entropy alloys (HEAs) has received widespread attention. The excellent microstructural stability of... -
Quasi-elastic neutron study of the organic cation dynamics in the halide pero...
Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of this... -
Time of Flight MISANS
MISANS is the combination of Modulation of Intensity Emerging from Zero Effort (MIEZE) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). SANS is used to determine the microscopic... -
Magnetic order in the quantum critical phase of Sr3Ru2O7
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Influence of compressive stress and electric field on the shape memory effect...
The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during... -
Exceptionally High Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide and Light Hydrocarbons in a T...
Porous functional metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great potential for high capacity gas storage and separation. We seek to develop new materials for carbon capture... -
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... -
In-situ Battery Discharge Studies of Thermal Batteries using Transition Metal...
Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the... -
Neutron diffraction on filled ices with C_0 structure prepared between 3 and ...
The proposing team has a well established experience in the study on samples containingH_2 and D_2. Our recent neutron spectroscopic results on sII and sH H_2-filled clathrate... -

Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe I HRPD
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elastic properties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
Magnetic Phase Diagram of Geometrically Frustrated SrHo2O4
In SrHo2O4, the Ho3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, this gives rise to geometric... -
Neutron Scattering and Structural Measurements of CO2 and CD4 Adsorption in M...
Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and...
