Electron transfer (ET) processes in peptides and proteins are key steps in the functioning of several natural enzymes including DNA photolyase and ribonucleitide reductase,...

This proposal aims to explore composition behaviour of vesicles formed by aqueous mixtures of magnetically active cationic liquid surfactants (MILSs, Figure 3) with the...

We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications....

Considerable research has been devoted to materials to fulfil the roles of electrodes and electrolyte within SOFCs, with focus on the fluorite or perovskite crystal structures....

The surface of metal oxide nanoparticles are typically coated with layers of water that are strongly bonded to the surface. The properties of these water layers are...

We propose to study a range of new selenium containing lower energy gap organic photovoltaic materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials...

Motivated by the observation of incommensure magnetic order in Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2, we have recently grown BaFe2-xNixAs2 crystals with systematic electron doping level especially...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

From our previous data on BaFe2As2 and BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2, one may assume that the superconductivity only affects the low energy excitations. But for Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, the doping...

The alkaline iron selenide RbFe1.6+xSe2 superconductors are a new system of iron-based superconductor with Tc up to 32K. According to recent experimental results, the...

This proposal concerns a novel approach to phase separation in self-assembling colloidal systems. Microemulsions can be readily formulated to display critical-type phase...

Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular...

The aim is to make in-situ measurements of the strains in both the tungsten matrix and the copper infiltrate in the mechanical testing machine on ENGIN-X. Mechanical tests will...

We propose to study a range of new lower energy gap organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials to be studied...

We propose to study thin-film blends of the polymer:fullerene system PTB7:PC70BM using neutron reflectivity (NR). This system currently exhibits the highest power conversion...

Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly, leading to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation....

Titanium Matrix Composites have received intensive attentions in the past decade because of their high specific stiffness and strength and resistance to high temperature....

The proposed experiment aims to explore in detail these two effects in a thermodynamic range at ~25 MPa over a temperature range of 280° to 600°C, never investigated before,...

Internal stress is a terminology often used in high temperature creep as a measure of the internal resistance of polycrystalline materials to creep deformation. Changes in...
