Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
Comparison of traditional and newly developed consolidants to moisture fluctu...
The degradation of an easel painting typically results in canvas loss in strength and elasticity so that it does not effectively support the paint structure. Lining of the... -
A Study of AuMu^+ Final States by Dia RF Resonance
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Electron polarisation in CdS and CdTe
At low temperatures and high magnetic fields, the electron in a muonium or radical state may be polarised if it has an opportunity to reach thermal equilibrium. Such a... -
Inelastic Spectroscopy of the Mobile Phase of Ammonia Borane
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. There has recently been work on a more mobile phase of AB (denoted AB*) which is formed (via the... -
muSR investigation to probe spin fluctuations in the ordered phase of (Nd1-xC...
From our current results of (Nd1-xCax)2Ir2O7, the internal field at 1.5 K increases with increasing the hole doping, the relaxation rate at 50 K increases with increasing the... -
Effect of oxidation on lipid raft formation: an off-specular neutron reflecti...
The very heterogeneous, but non-random, arrangement of lipids and proteins in cell membranes, known as rafts are of major scientific interest. Lipids in cell membranes are... -
MuSR study on optically injected electronic spin in GaAs
In the field of semiconductor spintronics, n-type GaAs has been utilized as a prototype system, where one can inject electronic spin and study its behavior with optical... -
Magnetic excitation of Ca2RuO4 in pressure induced ferromagnetic phase
Recently, a novel type of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of spin-orbit excitons has been proposed in Mott insulator Ca2RuO4. In the recent INS study, we have observed... -
Spin waves in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4
We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the... -
Search for Neutron Spin Resonance and High Energy Spin Excitations in Exotic ...
Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,... -

Templating of titania films in cationic-anionic surfactant polymer solutions
In this proposal we wish to continue our recent work using polyelectrolyte-surfactant films as templates for inorganic structures, in this case titania.... -
Characterising the amorphicity and porosity of ice aggregates in planet-formi...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities... -
Identification and spin dynamics of state III in phthalocyanines
This experiment proposes to measure the MuSR signal in undoped phthalocyanine (Pc) samples of NiPc, PbPc, FePc and TiOPc, in order to clarify the existence of the paramagnetic... -
Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 6 days on Tosca to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
Unstressed lattice parameter studies for weld residual stress determination
This study addresses the need to improve the reliability of measurements of weld residual stress; particularly for the type of welds used within the nuclear power industry. Such... -
Magnetism in the martensitic phase of Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 ...
We propose to solve the long standing controversy regarding the magnetic state of off-stoichiometric Heusler alloys Ni2Mn1.4In0.6 and Ni1.8Co0.2Mn1.4In0.6 at temperatures below... -
Probing possible p-wave superconductivity in Bi/Ni bilayers
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are perhaps the best examples of how quantum mechanics can be employed to explain macroscopic phenomena. The two states, both containing... -
Spin dynamics of the zigzag pseudospin-1/2 quantum chain compound PrTiNbO6
One-dimensional (1D) S = 1/2 spin chains are a subject of long-standing interest, because conventional long-range ordering can be prevented and novel Luttinger-liquid phase may...
