This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

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

Experiments (many at ISIS) using crystallographic methods, total scattering, inelastic neutron scattering and theory have provided a detailed picture of the origin of strong...

The aim of this proposal is to study the origin of the hysteresis effect in many layered crystal structures, in particular MAX-phases, such as Ti2AlC. This effect has been...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present in all the lower mantle: MgSiO3-perovskite (PV) and...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

Nano-materials are of interest in the field of energy conversion and storage due to properties not seen for the bulk. However, due to their non-periodic nature, the atomic...

Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by...

The performance of current commercial Li-ion batteries with graphite anodes is limited by the relatively small amount of lithium that can reversibly intercalate between the...

We request 4 days to collect high-resolution structural high-pressure data on two zeolites - zeolite A and EMC-2. Our previous theoretical findings from geometric simulation...

This proposal is about the development of sustainable detergency based formulations, based on the blending of biosurfactants with conventional surfactants, and is part of a CASE...

The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

The metal-organic framework perovskite analogue guanadinium copper(II) formate has achieved considerable recent attention for its multiferroic properties and consequent...

Studying surfactant and mixed surfactant adsorption on model solid surfaces, which mimic real surfaces such as fabrics, hair and skin, is starting to provide a real insight into...

This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled...

Hydrophobins are secreted fungal proteins in the form of small lipopetide biosurfactants. They are strongly surface active and self assemble at interfaces and in solution. This...

The parent compound LaMnO3 of the hole-doped colossal magnetoresistance materials La1-xAxMnO3 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba etc.) has attracted much interest from condensed matter scientists....
