Cryopreservation of liver cell spheroids used in artificial liver bio-transpl...
The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling... -
Quasielastic Neutron scattering Study of Water dynamics in Hydrated Cellulose...
The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes... -
The dynamical transition in dry proteins?
Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum... -
The dynamics of wild type and mutated myelin proteins P2 and CNPase.
The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of... -
Low energy spin dynamics of the stoichiometric heavy fermion CeRuSn3
Heavy fermion systems situated close to a quantum critical point present very rich physics due to the dominant Kondo interactions. Our investigations on the Kondo lattice heavy... -
Structural and Magnetic Properties of New Pb2FeTeOx Phases
Pb2FeMO6 phases are of interest as potential multiferroics. We have prepared a new non-centrosymmetric pyrochlore-derived structure containing anion vacancy ordering... -
Search for antiferromagnetic coupling in ferromagnetic oxide LSMO-LCMO multil...
La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) are two oxide ferromagnetic materials. They will be grown on single crystal SrTiO3 substrate. This allows a highly textured... -
Total scattering study of the II to I phase transition in pyridine
Atomistic characterisation of phase transitions in organic materials is important because of the role played by polymorphism in pharmaceuticals and agochemicals. Conventional... -
QENS Investigation of Solid Ammonia
A recent beautifully resolved INS spectrum of solid ammonia shows distinct differences in phonon states compared to initial calculation. This suggests that strong... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active... -
Structure and dynamics of nano-confined supercooled water studied by Deep Ine...
Studies on the structure and dynamics of nano-confined water are relevant and up-to-date not only for the understanding of the physics of water bu also for their implications in... -
Short range static and thermal disorder in glasses and crystals
We seek to use the temperature-dependence of the neutron correlation function to investigate the extent of static disorder in glasses and crystals, and also to investigate the... -
Local structure of the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (ND4)2SO4
Ammonium sulfate has a well-known order-disorder phase transition at -50 ºC: initially of interest for the ferroelectric behaviour in the low-temperature phase, this has... -
Cation reorientation dynamics in a hybrid Prussian blue analogue
The cubic pores in many Prussian blue analogues are big enough to contain organic cations. In the material (HIm)2K[Fe(CN)6], the imidazolate guest cation is free to rotate in... -
Thermal expansion and ordering in D2O ice III / IX
The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Spin gap opening associated with an extraordinary magnetovolume effect in som...
We have discovered an unusual magnetovolume effect in the 6H-perovskite oxides Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. These compounds contain isolated face-sharing bi-octahedral dimers... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),...
