Multilayering of Methyl Ester Sulphonates at the Air-Aqueous Interface: Effec...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. When this happens the... -
Understanding enhanced thermoelectric properties of sodium cobaltate doped by...
The thermoelectric power factor for (Na1-y¿My¿)0.8CoO2 is dramatically increased when M = Sr, but it is essentally unchanged from the pure compound when M = Ca. Our previous SXD... -
Study of mixed biopolymers at the oil-water interface
Proteins are important in many applications ranging from the stabilisation of emulsions (oil-water interface) to foams (air-water interface). Understanding the relationship... -
Application of direct inversion to magnetic contrast datasets.
We have developed an experimental approach using a buried magnetic layer to provide contrast in systems consisting of complex biomolecular layers tethered to gold surfaces. This... -
Unusual structural change in geminis above the critical micelle concentration
gemini surfactants are essentially two surfactants joined by a linking chain. We have extensively explored cationic geminis at the air/water interface and they exhibit a range... -
Structural Properties of Hydrogenated Ca-Intercalated Graphite Compounds
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to... -
Effect of polar solvent on the structure of monolayers of phospholipid
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform neutron reflectivity (NR) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the structure of phospholipid monolayers on a... -
Adsorption of organics at the calcite/oil interface and the role of water
This proposal will exploit the unique ability of neutron reflection to characterise the adsorption of a key additive on the surface of calcite from a non-aqueous solvent and the... -
Dispersionless spin waves and field-induced magnetic order in Gd3Al5O12
Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) is the archetypal frustrated magnet with unusual short-range order and magnetic excitations. Recently we have found that the dominant contribution to INS in GGG... -
Intergranular stress generation during high temperature creep-fatigue loading
Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,... -
Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Spin Glass to Canted Antiferromagnetism in Pseudo-dipolar Pyrochlores
Magnetic frustration is of topical interest due to the functional applications within the next generation of electronics. Pyrochlores have contributed significantly within this... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
Quantitative characterization of carbon steel reference samples: creation of ...
The use of quantitative analytical techniques to investigate the properties of steel artefacts is of great importance both in modern and historical metallurgy. A promising... -
In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate... -
Interfacial adsorption of monoclonal antibody and antigen binding
Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element... -
Chloride Intracellular Channel insertion into Tethered Bilayer Membranes
Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer... -
