Using a simple model we wish to mimic the lipid structure of the stratum corneum (the top layer of the skin). The simple model offers several advantages to our research area...

LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related...

A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions....

Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped...

The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in...

Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the...

The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...

Photosurfactants (PS) demonstrate the combined ability to change their shape upon irradiation with light and self-organise into polymolecular assemblies. However, the phase...

An interesting family of Cu (II)-framework (NOTT100 series) has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schröder. Earlier studies on...

The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the...

The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a...

Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be reliable tool to investigate the phonon structure of hydrides. E.g., it was shown that the vibrational structure of Ca(BH4)2 has a...

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...

The bulk of metal meteorites consists of the Fe,Ni-alloys kamacite [α-(Fe,Ni), bcc structure] and taenite [γ-(Ni,Fe), fcc structure]. The chemical composition is...

We request 9 days on TOSCA to study (i) the interaction of adsorbed H2 gas molecules with a gated indium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) NOTT-200 as a function of H2 and...

(C5H12N)2CuBr4 is the best realisation found to date of an antiferromagnetic quantum spin ladder in the strong coupling limit. This system displays an extremely rich phase...

This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar...

Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple...

In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by...
