Structure and gelation in PVDF-based polymer systems for Li-ion battery appli...
Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte... -
An S = 1/2 chiral staggered chain in a magnetic field
The molecule-based chiral spin chain, [Cu(pyrimidine)(H2O)4]SiF6·H2O exhibits staggered g-tensors, a rich low-temperature excitation spectrum and a spin gap that opens on... -
The high pressure structures of ammonium fluoride
Ammonium fluoride is an ionic H-bonded analogue of ice. Its behaviour is thus of interest as a comparator for ice. This proposal is for beamtime to make the first neutron study... -
Rheo-SANS of 2NapFF
We are investigating a range of functionalised dipeptides. For some examples, anisotropic structures are formed in water at high pH, which can be gelled by addition of a calcium... -
Exploring the metal-insulator transition in Ca2RuO4
Ca2RuO4 is a fascinating compound, where strong electronic correlations give rise to many unique features. Just above room temperature (~360 K) the system is metallic, below the... -

Characterizing Mu in 6H-SiC with RF-MuSR
We propose a set of RF measurements on Silicon Carbide (polytype 6H) to identify and characterize the muonium species present below room temperature. One of the main goals of... -
Phase separation of hydrocarbon-fluorocarbon surfactants at the air/water int...
Off-specular neutron reflection beamtime is requested to study phase separation at the air/water interface. Stability of systems, such as polymers, is a major area of interest... -
Does the viscosity of the sub-phase effect the oxidation kinetics of surface ...
Atmospheric climate change is strongly influenced by clouds and the oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity of the planet. Clouds... -
Adsorption of Fab and Fc from monoclonal antibody at the oil/water interface
Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA, we continue to explore how different globular proteins adsorb at the oil/water interface by neutron... -
Determination of type-2 cycloidal ordering in BiFeO3 thin films
Multiferroics have recently aroused a large interest in the community, opening the route to promising applications especially in spintronics. Among multiferroics, BiFeO3 (BFO)... -
Diffraction 'artifacts' due to shape, size and thickness variation in copper,...
In relation to TOF flight neutrondiffraction experiments conducted on Renaissance sculpture, we are proposing a systematic study of controlled shape, size and thickness effects... -
The Location of Guests in Metal-Organic Frameworks Using IINS
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. This includes the... -
Quantum magnetism of the low-dimensional copper carbodiimide CuNCN
Our proposal aims at microscopic investigation of magnetism of the novel copper-based low-dimensional spin system CuNCN, the first compound with a pure nitride environment of... -
Metal and Core Phase composition of Renaissance bronzes.
We propose a continuation of the determine the bronze composition of the different parts of three Renaissance Bronzes. These bronzes are of mutiple parts which have been joined... -
Hydrogen diffusion in novel porous carbon materials for fuel cells
The performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC) is strongly dependent on the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the electron mobility, which in turn is strongly influenced... -
How does oxidative damage change peptide membrane insertion?
The insertion of peptides and proteins into cell membranes is crucial for the functioning of cells, and also for the functioning of a variety of antibacterial reagents. Cells... -
Correlations between local magnetism and spin-orbit transport physics in topo...
One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is... -
