Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Interactions with Lipid Bilayers in a Magnetic Field
Iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the first nanomaterials to be approved for use in the body. However, research into particle binding and incorporation to, as well as... -
Neutron reflectivity study of bacterial lipopolysaccharide interactions with ...
Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model... -
An investigation on the adsorption of reverse pluronic and additives on metal...
PPO-PEO-PPO copolymer-based lubricant with extreme pressure or friction modifier additives has been introduced as boundary lubricant in metal forming. The Pluronic reverse... -
SANS and SESANS an ideal combination for Photonic materials
In this proposal we request time to characterise some novel colloidal particles that cannot be characterised with other approaches. These are believed to be raspberry... -
Surface activity of biosurfactant (sophorolipid) / surfactant mixtures
Understanding the fundamental aspects of the surface adsorption and self-assembly of biosurfactant and biosurfactant / conventional surfactant mixtures is a major challenge for... -
High-pressure effect on the magnetic ordering in frustrated antiferromagnet C...
Test of the NIMS low temperature pressure cell on WISH. -
Investigation for pressure-induced ferroelectric polarization flop phenomenon...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,... -
Pressure-temperature phase diagram of of the Jahn-Teller transition in LaMnO3
The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists.... -
Multi-scale modelling of HCP alloys using peak profile analysis
Hexagonal close packed (HCP) alloys have a wide range of industrial uses, including within thenuclear industry and for aerospace applications.The properties of HCP alloys are... -

Local field orientation and correlation length in the metal-organic perovskit...
In the metal-organic perovskite copper guanidinium formate, correlated Jahn-Teller distortion gives rise to a 1D magnetic structure made up of Heisenberg antiferromagnetic... -
Phase behaviour in Polymer-Photovoltaic Thin Film Blends
In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device... -
Searching for a core-shell or multi shell structure in Stöber silica particles
We want to measure the SESANS from a series of large ~1 micron silica particles formed using the multistage Stöber method. The reason for this is to determine if we can see the... -
Search for New Spin Density Wave State in CeRhIn5 caused by Fermi Surface Rec...
CeRhIn5 shows the rich phase diagram with superconductivity, spin density wave and charge density wave. The appearance of the Fermi surface nesting inside the antiferromagnetic... -
The hydration and ordering of lamellar block copolymer films prior to the for...
For polymer vesicles to act as effective molecular delivery systems we must efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like to use neutron... -
Bilayer modification and charge screening by simple ions
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported DPPC bilayer films. At low concentrations... -
Dye...TiO2 interfacial structure of working electrodes in dye-sensitized sola...
The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable... -
Assessing a new system of hard sphere colloids using spin-echo SANS
We have recently developed a new system of refractive-index matched nanoparticles. This system has advantages over a extensively used one of polymer latexes; ours 1) can be... -
Structural investigation of a possible magnetically-induced Weyl semi-metal
One of the major themes in solid-state physics is the realisation of exotic types of relativistic electrons which travel at speeds much slower than the speed of light. These... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer...
