Inorganic-organic hybrid nanocomposites are formed by incorporating inorganic nanoparticles in soft organic polymer matrices. The dynamics of the polymer can be affected due to...

Dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), is a double chain synthetic cationic lipid that conforms the membrane-like bilayer structure and has found widespread use in several...

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric...

This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is...

The hydrogelation of gold(I) complexes is a fascinating albeit still underdeveloped area of soft matter chemistry, with feasible high-technology applications based on the unique...

A cell membrane can contain hundreds of different lipid molecules, but our understanding of the dynamics of cell membranes is very limited. As a result of a collaboration...

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing...

Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...

Structure and functions of cell membrane are susceptible to alterations as a consequence of interactions with chemical species. The objective of the proposed experiment is to...

NiSi is a technologically important material that is also of interest to Earth Scientists because of the possible role of Ni and Si in the Earth¿s core. It crystallises in the...

We propose to use a pulsed magnet system tried and tested at several neutron and synchrotron facilities in conjunction with the new high flux diffractometer WISH to perform the...

The proposed experiment addresses the dynamics of surfactants in amphiphile/water systems during the topological transition, with a focus on the membrane with non-lamellae...
