Electroceuticals is the attempt to “…speak the electrical language of the nerves to achieve higher treatment effect”. Thus, the search is on to develop devices to enhance...

We have recently prepared a new strontium ruthenate, SrRu2O6, using hydrothermal chemistry. The material shows magnetic order, probably ferromagnetic, than persists above, and...

In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high...

Plant-derived biosurfactants of the group of saponins offer an attractive alternative to synthetic surfactants because of their unique foaming and emulsifying properties...

We have shown that under certain conditions multilayer adsorption of surfactants occurs at the air-water interface. in which case the system becomes a powerful wetting agent (it...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

We propose to measure the spin excitation spectrum in cuprate superconductor, La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) at x=0.19. Our aim is to resolve the doping dependence of the 18 meV spin...

Hydrogen binding to coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (CUMCs) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been extensively studied in our group using neutron powder diffraction...

We will investigate bulk and nano size ceria and zinc oxide prepared by solvothermal methods to determine the defect chemistry associated with these solids. We will use neutron...

Intergranular stresses are generated in polycrystalline material due to anisotropic deformation during monotonic and cyclic loading. Such generated intergranular stresses can...

We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate...

Spray forming is a flexible materials casting technique capable of producing high value added products in the form of round billets, clad rolls and composite tubes of...

Intergranular stresses, generated during cyclic loading of AISI type 316H stainless steel can significantly affect the creep deformation of this material. However,...

Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut...

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a fascinating system having significant defects and functional group on its sheets, hence provides an ideal playground to raise magnetism of...

The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed...

A vast amount of work has been conducted on understanding metal organic frameworks (MOFs) in their powder form. However, for use in industrial processes, powders will need to be...

Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in a binary mixture with protein. However, we show...

This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...
