Structure of AOT layers at the sapphire water interface ¿ avoiding an isotope...

Several interesting results have emerged in studies of Aerosol-OT at the sapphire/solution interface that relate to effects of counter-ions, insensitivity to pH as well as the...

A METHOD OF MEASURING ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY

Antioxidants are receiving increased attention for their potential effects in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as...

Measurement of the neutron cross section of α-alanine and other amino acids f...

The solid state of L-alpha-alanine is routinely used as a dosimeter for X-ray, gamma, and electron radiations. Recently, in the framework of boron neutron capture therapy, it...

Molecular diffusion in supercooled liquid water

Following our μSR experiment on liquid water (RB1720491) we propose to measure molecular diffusion coefficient (the sum of the diffusion coefficients of muonium and oxygen...

Understanding the decrease in adsorption of surfactants at a solid surface ab...

Previous data obtained from neutron reflection shown in Figure 1 has clearly shown that the surface excess of some surfactants when adsorbed from aqueous solution to a sapphire...

Structure of Colloidal Titania Particles in Water vs Organic Solvent

Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy...

Ionic Liquid ¿ Water Interactions

This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These...

Surfactants at the metal-oil interface

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. We would like to study, for the first time...

Test of an array of new thermal and resonance neutron detectors

The R&D activity on neutron detectors is strategic and instrumental for the development of reliable application of the neutron techniques. We propose to use two equal...

Microscopic dynamics of water associated to phospholilipd/polysaccharide nano...

In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic...

Simultaneous Raman and INS studies of high energy excitations in C70

The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small...

Defects and Medium-Range Disorder in the Metal¿Organic Framework UiO-66

We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in...

Interaction of a small protein with water and other solutes: The case of Glut...

The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance....
