Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),... -
Galvanostatic Dissolution of Multilayer Metal Systems in DES Studed using Eve...
Here we propose a study that will contribute to the final challenges of PhD training programme (Emma Palin). We will study the electrochemical dissolution of a bi-metallic films... -
Self-assembly of polymer-stabilised cyclopeptide nanotubes
SANS will be used to determine the structure of nanotube dispersions formed by H-bond stacking of cyclopeptides coated with a sheath of stabilizing polymer. Cyclopeptide... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigation of Sr2CuTeO6
Isostructural Sr2CuBO6, B=W or Te, exhibit different magnetic structures k=[0 1/2 1/2] vs [1/2 1/2 0], leading to the suggestion of a reversal in the ratios of the nearest and... -
SE-SANS investigation of natural shale swelling under oil-well conditions
Water-based drilling fluids are increasingly being used for oil and gas exploration. Unfortunately, their use leads to clay swelling which occurs in exposed sedimentary rocks... -
Probing the structure of antibiotic-gold nanoparticle conjugates
In a one-pot synthesis, we are able to produce spherical gold nanoparticles capped with antibiotics, without the use of other chemicals by using the antibiotic as the reducing... -
Structural studies of surfactants at the metal-aqueous interface
This proposal relates to the structural studies of cationic surfactant adsorption on an iron oxide metal surface. The driving force for the adsorption of cationic surfactants to... -
Relation between surface tension and adsorbed amount of proteins at the air/w...
The surface tension of proteins often exhibits a reproducible lagtime, which is sensitiv to a range of conditions such as concentration, pH, ionic strength. We have also found... -
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... -
Structure of a cationic polyelectrolyte adsorbed at an oppositely charged sur...
Adsorption of a charged polyelectrolyte onto an oppositely charged substrate is important for the understanding of many natural molecular events as well as for the development... -
Zr-based metal-organic frameworks as carbon-free energy carriers: a study of ...
Combined with computational modeling, in situ inelastic neutron scattering (INS) will be employed to reveal the nature of the interactions between stored ammonia and the host... -
