Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Magnetic contrast reflectometry to resolve transmembrane potential effects on...
The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world.... -
Lipid exchange between high density lipoprotein (HDL) and model phosphatidylc...
Lipoproteins are the main carriers of lipids in the body. HDL is believed to favor cholesterol removal and decrease the risk to develop atherosclerosis and related... -
Neutron reflectometry of an atopic dermatitis stratum corneum skin model
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting up to 20% of children and 3% of adults, resulting in significant reduction in quality of life and costs... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,... -
The Mechanism of Bam Mediated Outer Membrane Protein Folding
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterial survival,from providing basic physiological functions, to impairing virulence and... -
Testing the efficacy of the spin echo technique combined with the dynamical t...
The sensitivity of the Spin Echo Resolved Grazing Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) to scattering geometry and sample specifications has been tested at OFFSPEC on gratings with... -
Comparison Phase-object approximation and dynamical scattering theory
X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed... -
Experimental evidence for quadrupolar order in the heavy fermion compound Ce3...
This proposal aims to probe the quadrupolar order believed to exist in the heavy fermion compound Ce3Pd20Si6 (CPS). Two phase transitions have been uncovered (in zero applied... -
Magnetic contrast NR to resolve MscL opening under PXG challenge
In bacteria, mechanosensitive ion channels such as MscL protect cells against osmotic shock, but, as with all ion channels, they have the potential to act as an Achilles heel,... -
Modifications to the phonon spectrum of nanocomposite thermoelectrics
Here we propose to use the superior energy resolution of OSIRIS to measure the phonon desnity of states (PDOS) of both nanocomposite and bulk thermoelectric alloys of Si1-xGex.... -
Structure of Confined Albumin Layers
In the context of a project in collaboration with ISIS that focuses on structural studies under mechanical confinement, with a specific focus on biological lubricants, the... -
Texture measurement and in-situ annealing of hot-rolled α + β dual-...
The experiment will use neutron diffraction to analyse a hot-rolled matrix of dual-phase ZrNb alloys, in order to measure the macroscopic texture dependence on temperature,... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Study of the phonon confinement in novel thermoelectric materials
The material design challenge in thermoelectric materials is to find the materials where the conduction of heat is low and the electrical conductivity is high. It was recently... -
Understanding the antimicrobial activity of the salivary protein Histatin 5
The goal of this project is to understand the antimicrobial activity of the intrinsically disordered salivary protein Histatin 5, which acts in defence against oral candidiasis... -
INS investigation of the effects of hydration on the dynamics of natural silk...
Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding... -
Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Po...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)... -
Neutron reflectivity of water soluble conjugated polymer/surfactant films
Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....
