Neutron reflectometry of an atopic dermatitis stratum corneum skin model
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting up to 20% of children and 3% of adults, resulting in significant reduction in quality of life and costs... -
Water proton's environment in Low Density and Very High Density Amorphous Ices
Amorphous polymorphism is one of the key concepts in our understanding of water, its structure, physical properties and anomalies. The basic idea is that liquid water at ambient... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and... -
SANS study of self assembled structures formed from salicylate surfactant in ...
We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a... -
Phase composition mapping of a Japanese helmet
In this experiment, we propose to analyse a 17th century helmet from the Haruta School, whose armorers were suppliers of the Shogun and of the Imperial family until the 17th... -
Spin anisotropy of Seff=1/2 triangular rare-earth based antiferromagnets
In quantum magnetism significant efforts have been devoted to the search for new quantum states. In particular the Quantum Spin Liquid (QSL) state on the triangular lattice has... -
Particle dispersions in ODS Nano-Structured Ferritic Alloys
Oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) materials are under development for use in applications in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion power generation. The materials offer... -
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... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
Magnetic and crystal structures of substituted BiFeO3 from high resolution ne...
The multiferroic perovskite BiFeO3 is the only material that displays both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic order at RT. Significant efforts are aimed at better understanding... -
SANS experiments on phase separation in Fe-Cr based alloys
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation.... -
Small-angle neutron scattering studies of phase separation in Fe-Cr based alloys
Iron-Chromium is an ideal model system to improve the fundamental understanding of phase separation with vital engineering applications. For instance, ferritic and duplex... -
Development of a Novel Low - Intermediate Temperature Solid Proton Conductor
The compound, Si5O(PO4)6, is a component of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst, it has highly unusual coordination of the silicon (octahedral, as well as the more common... -
Biomolecular Cryoprotection in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Protecting biomolecules, such as proteins and enzymes, from the effects of cooling and freezing is important for the storage and handling of pharmaceuticals. Deep eutectic... -
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...
