HERBICIDE LIFETIMES IN SOILS
The herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione have been observed to have short half-lives in soil. Furthermore, their partition coefficients (Kd and Koc) suggest limited soil... -
POLYMORPHISM IN PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES PROBED BY SIMULTANEOUS INS AND RAMAN S...
The present study aims to probe polymorphic transitions in Pt(II)-amine complexes, aiming at identifying the INS and Raman spectral signature of each species as well as their... -
DYNAMICS OF SURFACTANTS IN LUBRICATING OILS
In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)... -
Carrier recombination lifetime spectroscopy with photo-MuSR: Measuring bulk a...
Having established the carrier lifetime spectroscopy in intrinsic Si with the photo-MuSR method in our previous beam times, we recently found its sensitivity for both bulk and... -
DOMAIN MOVEMENT IN CYTOCHROME P450 REDUCTASE
Cytochromes P450 play a key role in drug metabolism in man. Electrons are supplied to the cytochromes by NADPH through the flavoprotein NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR).... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a mo...
This experiment exploits the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a molecular gelator dibenzylidene sorbitol from alkane solutions on... -
Probing the magnetic interface in Bi2Se3/CoFeB bilayers by polarized neutron ...
Topological insulators (TIs) are quantum materials having insulating properties in bulk, but display gapless conducting surface states. These conducting surface electronic... -
muSR ANALYSIS OF THE Mn ION ENVIRONMENT IN LITHIUM NIOBATE CRYSTALS
Mn have been found to be an interesting ion to be used as dopant in Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) crystals in order to enhance their photorefractive properties. These materials are... -
The effect of alcohol chain length on the interaction between PS-PEO copolyme...
In many applications, surfactants are formulated with a variety of additives to achieve a desired range of properties; polymers and cosurfactants/cosolvents (such as alcohols)... -
Effect of reversing lipid head group charge on vesicular properties
Zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) are major components of the membranes that compartmentalize organisms. Although there is a large literature on PC, cationic... -
Magnetic properties of ultrathin spin-orbit coupled metal/ferromagnet heteros...
Recently, it has been predicted that spin-orbit coupled heavy normal metal (NM)/ferromagnet (FM) heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in proximity to a... -
CHARACTERISATION OF INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT EFFECTS ON RESIDUAL STRESS IN FR...
This experiment has important applications in the power generation industry, and is a continuation of two experiments completed at the ILL where we have characterised the... -
Shear controlled crystallisation of low molar mass compound in a polymer matrix
The aim of this experiment is to explore a very recent discovery made by ourselves that shear flow can suppress the nucleation and growth of crystals of specific low molar mass... -
manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
STUDY OF THE INTERACTION OF HYDROGEN IN METAL DECORATED FULLERENE
NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5... -
The phase diagram of the spin-density-wave metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7
Sr3Ru2O7 is an unusual layered oxide metamagnetic metal. It has been know for some time that the application of a large magnetic field (~8 T) perpendicular to the RuO2 planes... -
SANS Studies of Nanostructures of Microfluidically Fabricated lipid Nanoparti...
We have developed a new approach for forming lipid nanoparticles (LNP) with and without interfering RNA and DNA from a microfluidic setup. The LNPs are formed by an ionisable... -
SEGMENTAL DYNAMICS OF LINEAR AND CROSS-LINKED POLYISOPRENE IN NATURAL RUBBER
The aim of this experiment is to explore the segmental mode of natural rubber NR by means of quasielastic neutron scattering, QENS, and observe the influence of natural... -
Geometry Dependence of Emergent Magnetisation Dynamics in Interconnected Nano...
Six days of OFFSPEC beam time is requested to expand our recent investigations of emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. In recent... -
STUDY OF HYBRIDIZATION GAP IN THE FILLED SKUTTERUDITE COMPOUND: CeOs4As12
We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling...
