We have recently discovered that above 2 GPa in the liquid/fluid forms water and methanebecome miscible in proportions up to 33 mole% of methane. This proposal is for time to...

Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

The present proposal concerns a PEGylated, hydrophobic drug containing polylysine dendrimer that demonstrates unexplained batch-to-batch variability in that two batches of the...

Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the...

Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed...

We intend to perform some measurements with three NRCA gamma detectors in different geometric configurations in the INES block house in order to get information about the...

By applying the regular solution model (RS) to the determination of composition in a mixed surfactant layer adsorbed at a hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaceand combining it...

We propose to investigate the highly one-dimensional (1D) S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (NO)[Cu(NO3)3] which is a potential realization of the Nersesyan-Tsvelik model. The...

The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) compounds An+1BnO3n+1 exhibit a broad range of technologically interesting properties such as high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance,...

There is significant renewed interest in the super-conductivity of hydrogen-rich materials ever since the reported superconductivity of H2S at 203 K . As a result there is...

In recent years, it has become understood that rather than being homogenous mixtures, biomembranes show a complex phase behaviour, with regions of uniform phases, and others...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

Many geological processes are governed by the migration of hot, mineral-rich water. These "hydrothermal" fluids are stable at high pressures and temperatures and are important...

Water ice forms a remarkable diversity of structures, occurring in as many as 17 crystalline forms. Water ice also shows other interesting and unusual properties. For example,...

Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

The aim of the experiment is to monitor the temporal evolution of gamma prime precipitates in three polycrystalline nickel base superalloys using Sans2D. This instrument is...

This is a proposal to drive the layered oxide chalcogenide Sr2NiO2Cu2Se2 from the high-spin state with long range magnetic order to the low-spin state, similar to that displayed...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

DNA is an extremely versatile building material for the development and assembly of functional nanostructures and nanodevices. There are numerous examples of DNA based...
