muSR studies of expanded fullerides across the superconductivity dome
FCC Cs3C60 can be driven to a bulk superconducting state without symmetry change by the application of pressure. Its Tc passes through a maximum of 35 K at 6 kbar. We have been... -
In-situ analysis of martensite transformation in Austempered Ductile Iron
The microstructure of austempered ductile iron (ADI) consists of high carbon autenite and bainitic ferrite along with graphite nodules, which is created by austenitising and... -
Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
Neutronic Studies to Assess New Materials for Optimized Inverted Geometry Spe...
We request 7 days on VESUVIO to evaluate the neutronic performance of several materials used in inverted-geometry neutron spectrometers. In particular, we are interested in... -
Structure of a cationic polyelectrolyte adsorbed at an oppositely charged sur...
Adsorption of a charged polyelectrolyte onto an oppositely charged substrate is important for the understanding of many natural molecular events as well as for the development... -
Purothionins Perturb Bacterial Membrane Function via Ion Channel Formation
Purothionins are a family of cationic cystiene rich plant defence proteins which have been shown to have a wide spectrum of activity due their ability to permeate cellular... -
Effect of structure on the location of hydrophobic drugs in ionic surfactant ...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
Model anionic/non ionic surfactant adsoption at the interface below room temp...
An experiment performed on INTER last year found extreme non ideal mixing between C12E8/SLES3 at the air water interface: this feature became more extreme as the temperature... -
Chemical control of structures and magnetic ordering of manganese oxide chalc...
We will probe the response of the magnetic and crystal structures of layered manganese oxide chalcogenides to the oxidation state and the local coordination environment of Mn.... -

The pressure response of the new superconductor LiFeAs
We will probe the response of the 18K superconductor LiFeAa to pressures of up to 2 GPa in order to investigate the evolution of the crystal structure. In particular we wish to... -
The use of surfactant structure to control self-assembly induced by the addit...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural... -
Impact of surfactant interactions on fate of marine aerosols: NO3-initiated o...
Mixed films of palmitic acid (PA) and galactocerebrosides (GCB) a proxy for marine aerosol exhibit attractive interactions due to H-bonding of galactose and carbonyl head... -
QENS studies of molecular hydrogen in K-doped electrospun graphite nanofibres
The physisorptive capability of graphite-based nanomaterials for hydrogen is strongly dependent on their surface areas and nanomorphologies. We have made electrospun graphite... -
Interaction of amino acid based biosurfactants with model lipid bilayers
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
Interfacial structure in self-assembling conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices
The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to... -
A crystallographic study on the quantum spin liquid candidates Cu5xZnx(VO4)2...
We propose to analyse the crystal structures of a new quantum (S=1/2) geometrically frustrated material based on the mineral averievite and its Zn-doped variants... -
Investigation of PVC plasticizers on phospholipid monolayers
Plastic bags are used as containers for storage of donated blood. These bags are typically made out of PVC plasticized with dialkylphthalates (e.g. DEHP), which migrates into...
