Development of neutrons as entangled quantum probes
We recently completed an experiment on LARMOR at ISIS that proved that each individual neutron prepared for a Spin Echo Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) measurement is in... -
Characterisation of Hybrid Lipid-Polymer Nanoparticles
Hybrid lipid-polymer nanoparticles have demonstrated potential as drug delivery vehicles. The current proposal aims to use small angle neutron scattering (SANS) in combination... -
Spin structure of magnetic exchange springs wound at remanence
In a soft magnetic material the directions of the internal magnetic moments are easily changed by an external magnetic field while in a hard magnetic material they are not. In a... -
Stabilization of anisotropic pigment particles: SANS
We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the... -
Negative muon spin rotation and relaxation for MgB2 at low temperatures
This is a continuation negative-muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu-SR) experiment on MgB2 having a superconducting transition at 39 K. Since positive muons start to diffuse... -

To better understand the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNP) as delivery vehicles, it is crucial to understand their internal structure and the... -
Neutron reflectivity studies on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) open up new perspectives in the solar cell market. The morphology of the active layer of PSCs plays a crucial role on the corresponding devices... -
In-situ study of hydrogen absorption and desorption in metal-hydride hydrogen...
In order to develop our understanding of hydrogen coordination as a function of pressure within two titanium-chromium-vanadium-molybdenum alloys, Ti10Cr10V75Mo5 and... -
Interactions of native vs. modified protamines with Gram-negative model biome...
Protamines are cationic antimicrobial peptides found commonly in the sperm cells of fish such as herring and salmon that are particularly active against food-borne Gram-negative... -
Phase retrieval for non-trivial systems
Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating... -
Spontaneous surface multilayer formation in oligoamine ¿ surfactant mixtures
