Effect of alkyl chain length on the adsorption of n-alkyl phosphocholine surf...
This proposal relates to the study of adsorption of n-dodecyl phosphocholine (C12PC) at the oil-water interface. The thickness of the adsorbed monolayers measured for dC12hPC... -
Phonon dynamics in liquid gallium
We propose to measure the inelastic scattering S(Q,E) maps from gallium in its liquid phases across a wide range of temperatures. This proposal is based on a new prediction for... -
Determination of the magnetic field-temperature phase diagram in metal-organi...
Metal-organic magnets are of interest primarily due to the synthetic versatility enabled by the vast array of organic complexes which can be used to coordinate magnetic ions and... -

Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
Structures and magnetism of chemical and electrochemical deintercalates of la...
We propose to use POLARIS to perform two related experiments. Firstly we will investigate the structures and compositions of derivatives of some layered Mn/Cu oxysulfides which... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
Phonon Density of States in Nanocrystalline YAG:Cr
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 Magnetic Structure of LaCoxMn1-xO3 (x = 0.75)
It is the aim of the current proposal to examine in detail the magnetic structure of LaCo0.75Mn0.25O3 at low temperature, which should provide insight into the nature of the... -
Nuclear quantum effects and ortho-to-para conversion for hydrogen adsorbed in...
Metal-organic frameworks represent one of the most studied options to store hydrogen for clean-energy applications. Nuclear quantum effects, and in particular zero-point... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
A PDF investigation of synthetic Georgite - a new, high activity catalyst
Synthetic Georgite has shown high catalytic activity for a number of catalytic processes including methanol synthesis and the water gas shift reaction. Consequently, it is of... -
Dynamical Transitions in the Ogg Glasses
We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the... -
Measuring the structure of a poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) gel layer under compress...
Polymers adsorbed or otherwise attached to interfaces provide an extremely powerful tool to control the forces that act between interfaces. The functionality of these attached... -
The role of tryptophan in puroindoline/purothionin cooperative binding to bio...
The puroindoline (PIN) and purothionin (PTH) families of polypeptides both occur in wheat and are implicated in antipathogenic defence mechanisms, and of interest for potential... -
The Grüneisen and Anderson-Grüneisen parameters of mirabilite (Na2SO4.10D2O)
Sodium sulfate decahydrate (mirabilite) may be an important rock-forming mineral in the outer solar system, comprising a large fraction of the mantles of Jupiter's icy moons; it... -

Energy dependent, sample transmission correction for time-of-flight diffracti...
Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before... -
Low-dimensional glasses: Effect of occupational site disorder in the excess o...
The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of...
