Studying the phase diagram of Ba2-xSrxRuO4 by muSR
Sr2RuO4 is an unconventional superconductor below ~1.5 K while its sister compound Ca2RuO4 is a Mott insulator and antiferromagnetic below ~110 K. The rich phenomena in the... -
Surface adsorption of lipopeptides: interfacial layer structure
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
Surface activity of antibacterial agents
This proposal is aimed at understanding the surface activity of the antibacterial agent, Triclosan, in the presence of surfactants. We request NR beam time on SURF to... -
Structure of oil-in-water microemulsions containing eutectic mixtures of ment...
Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular... -
Membrane interactions of a viral scission protein
Influenza virus is a pathogen of great medical importance that causes seasonal epidemics and sporadic pandemics. Among the least understood events of the influenza virus... -
Analysing intermediates of a CO2 insertion reaction using simultaneous operan...
Atmospheric levels of CO2 are increasing at uncontrolled levels and as such methods of CO2 utilisation are being researched. A key reaction for this purpose is the coupling of... -
Magnetic correlation length measurements in Fe/Si multilayers using spin echo...
We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle... -
Neutron Reflection of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (C16TAB) at the Mica Wat...
An understanding of surfactant aggregation on clay surfaces is important for detergency processes such as cleaning and pollutant removal. Studies have shown that the adsorbed... -
The impact of added particles and surfactant on HEUR thickener solution struc...
Paints are typical formulated products. The paint consists of many different components - pigments, thickeners, surfactants - each of which has a specific function. The physical... -
SANS investigation of cross-linking in irradiated greases
Greases used in harsh radioactive environments are showing microstructural damages. These defects cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of materials, which in... -

Spontaneous surfactant multilayer formation at interfaces induced by multival...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is now emerging as an important structural signature associated with a wide range... -
Adsorption of perfluoroalkyl substances to solid soil interface to elucidate ...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous... -
In-situ neutron diffraction during reversible deuterium loading in under-stoi...
Hydrogen is an efficient energy carrier that can be produced from renewable sources and stored in alloys in solid-state for long period enabling the transition towards CO2-free... -
Magnetic Phase Diagram of Geometrically Frustrated SrHo2O4
In SrHo2O4, the Ho3+ ions are arranged in a network of triangles and hexagons, and coupled with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, this gives rise to geometric... -
Investigating the superconducting pairing symmetry of heavy fermion supercond...
The first discovered heavy fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 had been believed to have d-wave pairing symmetry for many years. However, recent experiments on CeCu2Si2 discovered... -
Exchange Spring Evolution in SmCo5/Fe and NdCo5/Fe
We propose to investigate the evolution of the exchange spring (ES) in NdCo5/Fe and SmCo5/Fe with temperature and magnetic fields using polarized neutron reflectometry. The... -
Structure and encapsulation of additives in spray coated surfactant templated...
This proposal continues our work into surfactant templated films formed from surfactant/polyelectrolyte solutions. Recently we have been studying the encapsulation of... -
Anionic surfactant induced desorption of cationic surfactants from anionic su...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
Probing the spin dynamics in the pseudo-quaternary Y1-xErxNi2B2C compounds
Our uSR measurements on superconducting Y1-xErxNi2B2C shows a slowing of the Er spin dynamics upon cooling to 2.5 K, but the depolarisation rate does not critically diverge and...
