Investigating semi-metal superconductivity in a Lu3Os4Ge13 single crystal
Lu3Os4Ge13 is an interesting superconducting system, with potentially unconventional physics. It is a low carrier density semi-metal, exhibiting superconductivity at 3.1 K. This... -
Spin-phonon coupling in heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds
To understand this novel ground state of CeCuAl3, we have carried out low and high-energies inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements using the IRIS and HET spectrometers.... -
impact of mutlivalent counterions on surfactant adsorption
We request NR beam time on SURF to study the impact of multivalent counterions on the surface adsorption of alkyloxyethylene sulfate surfactants and alkyloxyethylene sulphate /... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Adsorption of Sodium Bis-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate on a-Alumina
In this proposal we investigate the adsorption of a key additive and functional group used in lubrication and wear applications using neutron reflection on a metal oxide... -
In situ quantification of the micro mechanisms during tensile deformation for...
Recently, high entropy alloy (HEA) concept has been studied as a means of achieving excellent properties of metallic alloys. We have developed an HEA alloy through powder... -

Does the viscosity of the sub-phase effect the oxidation kinetics of surface ...
Atmospheric climate change is strongly influenced by clouds and the oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity of the planet. Clouds... -
Surface adsorption in hydrophobin, Tween and β-Casein mixtures
Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer... -
Sweet taste chemoreception unveiled. The case of lactose and sucrose.
In the late 1960s, a molecular theory of sweet taste was proposed, based on the presence of a ?functional structure? in all sweeteners, eliciting the sweet response via the... -
Vibrational Densities of States from Amorphous Nanocomposites for Novel Drug ...
In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by... -

Phospholipid exchange between tethered bilayers and vesicles
Our objective is to create asymmetric solid surface tethered bilayers (tBLMs) with the the outer leaflet predominately populated by charged phospholipids. tBLMs are produced by... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of... -
Adsorption of Sodium Polyacrylate onto a-Alumina
In this proposal we investigate the adsorption of the key dispersant additive, sodium polyacrylate, used in colloidal systems using neutron reflection on aluminium oxide, with... -
Chain exchange mechanism of complex coacervate core micelles
Complex coacervates have been studied for a long time for their medical applications and unusual physical-chemical properties: they are dense networks of poly-electrolytes, that... -
Direct measurement of magnetoelectric coupling - a new room temperature multi...
We have recently performed muon measurements on a member of a new class of multiferroic materials. We have shown that there is hysteretic behaviour to the internal field... -
Surface activity of fluoroblock copolymers in model marine coatings
Marine coatings are commonly based on silicone polymers, which have a low surface energy and a degree of deformability which contribute to release of marine fouling species. Low... -
Location of the lipophilic drug testosterone propionate at the oil-water inte...
Solubilisation of poorly-water soluble drug in surfactant micelles is an attractive means of increasing the apparent aqueous solubility of such drugs in order to administer the... -
Dye...TiO2 interfacial structure of working electrodes in dye-sensitized sola...
The transparent and low-cost nature of dye-sensitised solar cells (DSCs) affords them niche prospects for electricity-generating windows in buildings for energy-sustainable...
