The objective of this proposal is to spectroscopically identify the nature of surface species formed during the addition of tert butyl hydroperoxide onto the surface of the...

The aim of the present study is to the determine, using specular neutron reflection (SNR), the structure of layers formed by novel tri-chain cationic lipids in combination with...

Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in...

TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth...

At ambient pressure and temperature TiCl4 is a fuming yellow liquid. On cooling it forma a solid composed of essentially isolated tetrahedral molecules; the same structure is...

The aggregation of the Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease, the treatment of which is a major current global healthcare...

One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is...

Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of...

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to characterise the structures of aggregates formed between the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

It has recently be demonstrated, through diamond-anvil cell experiments, that it may be possible for methane to be formed within the inner Earth through transformation reactions...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be...

The purpose of the present work is to measure residual stresses at large depths from the surface of flow formed tubes made of a Super CMV steel that has significantly higher...

We wish to determine a structure we have observed in a dodecane/surfactant/water system. Initial experimentation has suggested the possibility of spontaneous formation of a...

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...

Topotactic reduction of YMnO3 with CaH2 yields three new reduced phases. Two of these phases appear to have compositions close to YMnO2.5 but with very different anion vacancy...

This proposal seeks to identify and characterise the adsorption of primary linear amides that adsorb to the surface from the bulk of a polymer melt. These layers are...

Amphiphiles derived from amino acids are important functional materials. The amino, carboxyl and side chain groups present in the chemical structure of amino acids provide wide...
