Nanostructure definition in electrospun fibres of polymer blends
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
Structure/Conductivity Relationship in Doped Bismuth Tantalate Solid Electrol...
A detailed study of the temperature and compositional variation of defect structure in doped bismuth tantalates is proposed. Tantalum doping into Bi2O3 can achieve d-phase... -
Proton Delocalization in Liquid Hydrogen Chloride
Liquid HCl has attracted numerous studies focusing onto the role played by hydrogen bonding on the dynamical properties of this weakly associated liquid. Previous computational... -
Studies of magnetic polaron formation in EuS via RF-µSR
Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its... -
Non-local electrodynamics effect in an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor
We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau... -
Dynamics of an antimicrobial oligopeptide
Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30... -
Enhanced oxygen hyperstoichiometry in Y doped La9.33+xGe6O26+3x/2
Apatite-type lanthanide silicates/germanates have been attracting considerable interest as a new class of oxide ion conductors. The presence of interstitial oxide ions is... -
Conformational changes on interaction of cytochrome c with lipid monolayers.
The main objective of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of the cationic protein, cyt c with anionic lipid membranes. This objective will be... -
Magnetism in novel organic/inorganic hybrid spin-valve nanostructures.
We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to... -
Network compression and pressure-induced amorphisation in Zn(CN)2
Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour... -
Nanoemulsions for dermatological drug delivery
Nanoemulsions have considerable potential for dermatological drug delivery. Small angle neutron scattering in combination with contrast variation will be used to characterize... -
Aggregation behaviour of aqueous hairy rod conjugated polyelectrolyte/surfact...
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to characterise the structures of aggregates formed between the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte... -
Interfacial adsorption of single alkyl chain PC surfactants (CnPmC)
We propose to investigate the interfacial adsorption of a series of water-soluble single chain PC surfactants using neutron reflection, focusing on assessing the effects of... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of... -
Spin-phonon coupling in heavy fermion CeAuAl3 and CeCuAl3 compounds
To understand this novel ground state of CeCuAl3, we have carried out low and high-energies inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements using the IRIS and HET spectrometers....
