Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer...

The objective of the present study is to investigate the interaction between PAMAM dendrimers and solid supported model biomembranes of high fluidity. These membranes consist of...

We have been studying the formation of solid polymer-surfactant films at the air-solution interface formed from cationic surfactants with PEI. We wish to use the micelles...

We propose to measure the dynamic nuclear polarization in a GaAs-based structure caused by electrical injection of a spin-polarized current using polarized neutron...

The proposal is to study three alloys, both at high temperature and room temperature, to corroborate strain results obtained through high resolution digital image correlation....

Topological insulators are currently a subject of intense research and potential for spin-electronic devices. The breaking of gauge symmetry or time reversal symmetry(TRS) is a...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

Aim of this proposal is that of testing the effective performances of the new high resolution camera box which has been produced for IMAT.The spatial resolution and the required...

The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental...

The mechanical properties of multilayered metallic composites are determined by strain/stress partitioning between the constituent metals. However, the effect of strain on 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...

Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,...

Topological insulators are currently a subject of intense research and potential for spin-electronic devices. The breaking of gauge symmetry or time reversal symmetry(TRS) is a...

The behavior of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) with biological interfaces is a key research topic, to boost Nanomedicine development. In this respect, 2D lipid assemblies are...

The appearance of non-dispersive Einstein (¿rattling¿) modes, known as the phonon-glass paradigm in filled-skutterudite compounds, has been postulated as an origin of the high...

Here we propose to measure the phonon density of states in nanocrystalline samples of YAG:Cr. Our parallel luminscence measurements have revealed dramatic changes in the phonon...

The proposed experiment forms a part of a joint study by M. Rahman, an ILL PhD thesis student, and J. Brokx, a CDT thesis student supported by ISIS. In the proposed experiment,...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut...

The development of neutron radiography and tomography techniques using a portable equipment based on a compact neutron generator and innovative detector system is of great...
