Magnetic order in the triangular quantum magnet AgNiO2
This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. AgNiO2 has a layered crystal structure with Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions forming... -
Which is it? ¿ Neutrons distinguish monolayers xrays can¿t.
We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is... -
Cryopreservation of liver cell spheroids used in artificial liver bio-transpl...
The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling... -
Further Studies on the Gating Mechanism of an Antimicrobial Peptide Using Con...
Antibiotic peptides are generally small, simple, usually alpha-helical peptides, which nevertheless show quite complex biological behaviour. We have been studying the gating... -
Low energy inelastic neutron studies in Ni-Mn-Sn based shape memory alloy
The composition Ni2.04Mn1.4Sn0.56 belongs to the group of metamagnetic shape memory alloys and it shows multiple magnetic phases as a function of temperature. In a recent muon... -
H2 diffusion in filled ice prepared between 3 and 5 kbar
We propose to study the diffusion of molecular hydrogen (H2, HD and D2) trapped in C0 filled ice prepared at high pressure (3-5 kbar). These systems have a relevant scientific... -
Investigation of diffusion of branched alkanes in ZSM5
The diffusion coefficients of monobranched and dibranched (methyl)hexane and octane in industrially important zeolite ZSM5 will be measured along with their straight chain... -

Copy of: Neutron Diffraction study of the monolayer structures of cyclohexane...
Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of... -
Interlayer and Interparticle Water in Clays
Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for... -
The Monolayer Structure of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons on Graphite
Self-assembled monolayers are employed in the fabrication of organic transistors and organic- electronic devices. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of organic... -
Investigation of the excitation spectrum in the 1D distorted diamond chain Az...
We propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of azurite in both zero field and applied fields up to 7T. Using inelastic neutrons on OSIRIS we hope to clearly resolve the... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
The calcuim mediation interaction of DNA with monolayers of DSPC and DOPE
The main objective of the present work is to complete some work aimed at gaining an understanding of the interaction of phospholipid membranes containing the neutral helper... -
QENS studies of Na-ion battery materials
LixCoO2 is used extensively in portable batteries in laptops and mobile phones, but the scarcity of Li means that alternative materials are required. Structurally related... -
Realistic bacterial membrane mimetics to understand antimicrobial activity & ...
We will use neutron reflectivity measurements of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layers at the air-water interface to help develop a realistic mimetic for the periphery of bacteria... -
Understand the role of dimensionality on heavy fermion physics and quantum cr...
Dimensionality plays an important role in determining the anomalous non-Fermi liquid properties in heavy fermion systems. So far most heavy fermion compounds are... -
Copy of: Structural and Magnetic Studies of Mixed-Valence Iron Silicates
We propose to study the temperature evolution of the spontaneous strain, crystal and magnetic structure of the charge ordered, mixed valence iron silicate ilvaite. In addition,... -
Dynamical Transitions in the Ogg Glasses
We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the... -
The dynamics of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...
