Neutron diffraction characterization of Japanese steel swords fragments
Studying the sword forging techniques, and its evolution with time, is one of the most interesting topics in the analysis of the Japanese blade forging methodology. In that... -
Neutron reflectivity of self-assembled Janus Nanoparticles
Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface... -
Neutron reflection from surface-induced nana-stratified He-3/He-4 mixtures
It is proposed to use neutron reflectometry to study surface-induced nano-stratification of 3He-4He mixtures in the ultra-low temperature limit. The experiment promises to... -
pH-Responsive Polyelectrolyte Brushes Studied by Neutron Reflectivity and in ...
pH-responsive polymer brushes comprise of long polymer chains of either a weak acid or base chemically attached to a surface. Depending upon the degree of ionisation along the... -
Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study of the Adsorption of Amine ¿functionalis...
Amine-functionalised poly(alkylene oxides) are used extensively as swelling inhibitors in water-based drilling fluids. This study will broaden our understanding of the mechanism... -
In-situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Study of a Gas Loaded Aluminium-carboxyl...
We request 9 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed SO2 and NO2 gas molecules with a porous aluminium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) as a function of gas... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Vibrational Properties on Different Bonded AlH6 Octahedra in Na3AlH6, CaAlH5 ...
Aluminum based complex hydrides are interested in hydrogen storage materials. In the complex hydrides, Na3AlH6, CaAlH5 and AlH3 have a common crystallographic feature with AlH6...
