Understanding how drugs interact with physiologically relevant environments is crucial for the future of effective drug design. An important class of potential drugs are central...

Recently the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering has been reported in CeNi0.8Bi2 with TSC = 4.2 K and TN =5 K, which crystallises in the...

We aim to use total scattering and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to determine the local structure of the disordered amide-borohydride, Na2BH4NH2. We wish to...

A range of novel chlorine-containing bioactive glasses have recently been developed at Queen Mary University of London for dental and orthopaedic applications. At present little...

We request 3 days on GEM to perform in-situ neutron diffraction and electrical conductivity studies of LiBD4 (crystalline and after quenching from 500K) and 0.33LiI.LiBD4 as a...

The exceptional high temperature mechanical properties of Ni-base superalloys has resulted in their widespread use in high temperature applications. These alloys conventionally...

Ethylene glycol is an industrially important alcohol used as anti-freeze. The presence of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in its liquid and solid state form makes the...

We have conducted an extended study of hydrogenated defective graphene, synthesized by chemical routes (hydrogenated thermal exfoliated graphite oxide or H-TEGO), including...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,...

There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to...

The understanding of the plant wax-surfactant interaction process is crucial to the development of more effective pesticide and fungicide formulations, essential for improving...

We propose to make use of SANS to determine the influence the presence of cuticular plant waxes have on the size, shape and structural properties of various non-ionic...

Research focused on improving the efficiency of gas turbines is of great importance for energy generation and transportation. A much desired way of achieving this is the...

Mg-Zn-Ca glasses show considerable promise for use as medical implants. Magnesium, zinc and calcium are all elements found within the human body, and the biocompatibility of...

This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our...

One-dimensional (1D) spin chain is interesting to understand the low dimensional magnetism. For a 1D spin chain, long rang magnetic order cannot exists at finite temperature. On...

Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and...

Polymer stabilized lipid nanodiscs offer enormous potential as tools for enabling membrane protein structural studies & biophysics. Polymer stabilized lipid bilayer discs...

The aim of the study is to use SANS in combination with contrast variation to determine the effect of solubilising the lipophilic drug, testosterone propionate, in micelles...

Acyl L-Carnitines are a group of novel surfactants with attractive physical and biological properties associated with their head group charge features. This work proposes to use...
