The proposal seeks to investigate the structure and hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam in aqueous solutions by neutron scattering on the SANDALS instrument, with... -
Characterisation of Lithium-ion battery cathode material LiCoMnO4 as prepared...
LiCoMnO4 is a spinel material of great interest for possible applications in the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. LiCoMnO4 exhibits electrochemical activity at 5 volts,... -
Superconductivity and critical spin fluctuations
In a successful recent experiment on IN5 (ILL), we have been able to show that in contrast to commonly accepted wisdom, the excitation gap in nearly optimally doped... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
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... -
Proteins of Different Size and Globular Stability Adsorbed at Oil/Water Inter...
In this work we explore how to use neutron reflection to study protein adsorption at the oil/water interface. Inter is preferred because we have built technical capability on... -

Monolayer behaviour of DMPC and DEHP with cholesterol
Donated blood is typically stored in bags made of PVC plasticized with DEHP. DEHP migrates into the blood and the amount in the blood cells can be 5 to 10% of the phospholipid... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
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... -
Verification of extended inverse Dzyloshinskii-Moriya mechanism by comparison...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals, 3R-AgFeO2 and 2H-AgFeO2 on WISH. Recently, we have studied magnetic orderings and ferroelectricity of... -
Manipulation of the aggregate curvature in water/dense CO2 system
This proposal aims to investigate how the curvature of surfactant assemblies in water/dense CO2 systems can be tuned via the design and mixing of CO2-phillic surfactants. One... -
Conjugated polymer-small molecule interfaces for photovoltaic applications
Organic materials offer a range of low-cost options for large area fabrication of solar (photovoltaic) cells. Unfortunately, organic photovoltaics suffer from low efficiencies.... -
Structure of Petroleum Asphaltenes in Solution
Asphaltenes are the heaviest end of crude oil and are responsible for a multitude of engineering challenges. They can precipitate from the oil, depositing, blocking pipelines... -
Understanding absorption of the energetic compound 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-on...
Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led... -
Kinetics of amphotericin B interaction with model human and fungal cell membr...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents. The successful development of... -
Squeezing the frustration out of a kagome antiferromagnet ¿ a high pressure s...
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... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of Lithium Battery Materials
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... -
Changes of phospholipid aggregate morphology induced by phospholipase hydrolysis
We propose to look at the interaction of the aggregates two phospholipids form with two phospholipase (PL) enzymes, PLA2 and PLC, which hydrolyse different ester groups in the... -
Hydrogen interactions in framework materials : part deux
Hydrogen binding to coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUMCs) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been extensively studied in our group using neutron powder diffraction... -
Oil disperse phospholipid stabilised microemulsions prepared using non-aqueou...
It is the aim of the proposal is to perform small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies combined with contrast variation to determine the size and structure of the... -
Binding studies of Quantum Dots and Pore-Forming Proteins on multi-component ...
Cell membrane being the first line of defence of a complex cell, it forms an important scientific topic to study its encounter with various external entities. Nanoparticles are...
