A Total Scattering Investigation of the Intermolecular Interactions in Low Aq...
Low bioavailability is a major problem in drug formulation development; low aqueous solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can stall development of a potentially... -
A new plastic phase in PCBM from low-energy inlelastic neutron scattering
Phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is a fullerene-based material of high technological interest due to its use in organic solar photovoltaic cells. A better... -
Molecular motions in novel water-soluble organometallic gels
The aim of this proposal is to study the internal dynamics of a novel organometallic polymers based on two metal-containing moieties -Ru, Au- bridged through a tridentate... -
Oxygen Dynamics in Y2O3 doped Bi2O3: (Bi0.8Y0.2)2O3 and (Bi0.6Y0.4)2O3
The high ionic conducting delta-phase of Bi2O3 can be stabilized at ambient temperature in a range of compositions, viz., (Bi1-xYx)2O3 (x=0.1 -0.5). We would measure inelastic... -
Improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal tungsten bronzes
Ferroelectrics are an important class of materials in modern electronics. Their application range from simple capacitors to ultrasonics transducers and sensors to memory... -
Correlation between local dynamics and shape of SDS micelles
This is in continuation with our earlier proposal (RB910248) for which experiment was carried out during August 2009. Fast segmental dynamics of surfactants in rod-like... -
Intra-membrane lipid flipping in model lipid membranes
Lipid compositional variation across the cell's membranes as well as asymmetry between two contiguous monolayers in the same membrane are critical for alive and healthy cells....
