VC-precipitation kinetics of C-Mn-V and C-Mn-V-Mo steels in austenite and fer...
Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High Strength Steels, extremely suitable for lightweight automotive applications. The ferrite phase, which provides ductility and... -
Phase retrieval for non-trivial systems
Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating... -
A study of protein adsorption via chelating lipids within a solid supported l...
The crystallisation of membrane proteins is of great interest, not least, to the pharmaceutical industry. We have recently begun a project aiming to investigate the role played... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant on the surface of water
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the... -
Using SERGIS, SESANS and NR to probe nanoscale cavities created within templa...
Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis.... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively...
