This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...

Recent research has demonstrated the potential of nanosized delivery systems for routine use in many diseases, eg cancer, viral diseases and rheumatoid arthritis [1,2], due to...

Dimethacrylate resins are currently used for dental fillings. The polymers are set by free radical polymerisation. At present light curing protocols require 40s exposure at...

The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid...

Apatite-type phases have been attracting interest as a new class of oxide ion conductors, and in these systems, the key defects are oxide ion interstitials. We have recently...

Recent muon level-crossing measurements in the stable orthorhombic alpha-phase of sulphur indicate the existence of a radical state, with an interesting temperature evolution....

Bioactive glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for biomedical applications. In order to model the behaviour and dissolution of these materials it is...

An interesting family of Cu (II)-framework (NOTT100 series) has been synthesized at the University of Nottingham by the group of research of Martin Schröder. Earlier studies on...

Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to...

During our recent experiment (RB1310434) we were able to use ALC to characterise the radical states formed in [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] and [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(CN)2]2- at two...

Dy2Ti2O7 is a pyrochlore antiferromagnet that has a partial magnetization plateau between 0.1 and 0.9T for magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction. This represents a...

Through low temperature fluorination of AFeO3-x (A=Sr, Ba) it is possible to prepare the oxide fluorides AFeO2F, which are antiferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. In...

Photocrystallography, a rapidly developing area in dynamic structural science, allows photoinduced structural changes and transient species to be studied. X-ray techniques have...

Anils, N-salicylideneanilines, display thermochromism, which is thought to involve an intramolecular proton shift, but to-date the structural changes postulated to occur during...

There is a pressing worldwide need for research to develop specific sustainable spent fuel reprocessing technologies suitable for minimizing waste from next generation nuclear...

The effect of order-disorder transitions on the conductivity of oxide ion conducting electrolytes has attracted significant attention in the literature. In contrast there has...

Valuable information is lost when the focus is put only on the average unit cell and not the long-range order of the whole crystal. Determination of the long-range ordering can...

We propose to use WISH to perform high resolution diffraction measurements using a fine temperature step size on powder Pb3TeCo3B2O14 (B=V,P). These measurements are crucial to...
