Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science as nanometer probes and interfacing with cells. In our work we focus on the interaction between nanowires and a...

In a previous neutron reflectivity(NR) measurement (RB620370) on CRISP, we showed that the insoluble interlayer formed between the charge injection layer and a semiconducting...

One of the rapidly developing frontiers in research is focused on the rational design of polymeric materials that have targeted functionalities and tunable responses to external...

Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

Phospholipids assemble the backbone of biological membranes and their simplified biomimetic models, in particular sparsely tethered bilayer membranes (stBLM) were established to...

Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a predicted half-metallic (100% spin polarised) ferromagnet with a high Curie temperature of ~858K. These properties make it well suited to use in...

The global increase of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to increasing interest in research focusing on the development and characterization of new antimicrobial...

We have previously shown that peptides such as G(IIKK)4I-NH2 (G4) can kill bacteria and inhibit cancer cell growth whilst remaining benign to mammalian host cells. We have also...

The tunneling magnetoresistance ratio of a magnetic tunnelling junction is influenced by many different factors, one of which is hybridization at the metal/oxide interface. We...

Currently one of the biggest challenges in spintronics is the generation and control of a spin polarized current at room temperature. Spin injection from europium monoxide is of...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. In this experiment we would like to extend...

Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based...

Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is...

NiO has useful electronic, magnetic and catalytic properties. It is also used in creation of OxRRAM¿s, that are considered as a better alternative to Flash memory due its...
