Investigation of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3
Here we propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3. Unlike typical spin-ladders this compound has a rung coupling that is much weaker... -
Mixing of phospholipids and block copolymers in a polymersome membrane
We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we... -
Investigation of hydrogen dynamics on pure and metal cluster decorated metal ...
Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on... -
Dr
Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the... -
µSR studies of free radical reactions by non-thermal microwave effects
We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively... -
Exploring asymmetry-induced entropy in deep eutectic solvents
Comparison of the low frequency vibrational profile of deep eutectic solvents based on urea and tetraalkylammonium cations with varying degrees of symmetry. Architectural... -
Interplay of apoptosis regulating Bcl-2 proteins with mitochondrial membranes...
Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a... -
HERBICIDE LIFETIMES IN SOILS
The herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione have been observed to have short half-lives in soil. Furthermore, their partition coefficients (Kd and Koc) suggest limited soil... -
Ligand conformation at semiconductor nanoparticle surfaces for high-efficienc...
The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: SANS
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the...
