Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite...

The first direct measurements of the rate of transfer of a probe molecule across an interfacial layer have been made at PSI, using TF and ALC-MuSR. This application for beamtime...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their...

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 /...

The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If...

Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another...

We will add temperature control to our reaction chamber for simultaneous neutron reflectometry(NR) and infra-red reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). This new set-up will...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a...

We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have...

Antibody-antigen binding has been extensively used in many technological applications such as immunoassays, chemical analysis and bionanotechnology. The crucial element...

In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space...

Hertbertsmithite ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2 is a model S =1/2 kagome antiferromagnet, received much attention last years. From recent studies a sign of a nearby quantum phase transition...

Dynamics of multicomponent mixtures such as polymer blends are typically studied with QENS and deuterium labelling. Difficulties arise in the data analysis if the coherent...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

Highly ordered dispersions of charged polymer particles that are tens or hundreds of nanometres diameter can be prepared. These are useful model systems for self-assembly and...

We propose to carry out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. In contrast to other single crystal...

Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used in a wide range of applications from medical and dental implants to treatment of contaminated air and water streams. However many of the...

Chiral gemini surfactants containing stereogenic centers and two amphiphilic moieties, not only maintain the chiral properties, but also exhibit stronger aggregation properties,...

The application of hydrostatic pressure tunes the interatomic separations within a compound, causing changes in the electronic structure. This alters many other material...
