This data set contains: (1) Chla_PhytoPAM: Chlorophyll a fluorescence data measured by PhytoPAM device for all replicas and experiment conditions on the green alga Scenedesmus... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We... -
The use of INS to characterise deactivation of methane reforming catalysts.
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of candidate methane reforming catalysts. Recent studies have shown that modification of... -
Non-equilibrium kinetics in highly interacting polymer mixtures
We seek to investigate the non-equilibrium phenomena of a model polymer mixture by time-solved SANS and temperature jump experiments within (a) one-phase region and (b) one to... -
Protein nanosheets assembled structures at the air-water interfaces for cell ...
Cell adhesion and proliferation at the surface of liquids such as oil droplets is a surprising phenomenon as it is typically accepted in the field of bioengineering that cells... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Microemulsions stabilized by magnetic surfactants
Surfactant systems responsive to pH, temperature, CO2, and light are known. Our new work has shown for the first time, magneto-responsive surfactants (also being ionic liquids... -
Effects of optimised roller geometry on the residual stress field in rolled g...
Recent work has shown that localised high-pressure rolling of weld seams can be a very effective means of reducing the damaging residual stresses created during the welding... -
Adsorbtion from nematic mixtures: bulk characterization
The aim is to measure any tendency towards phase separation in a nematic mixture to complement an adsorption study on the same mixture. The base is 4-pentyl 4¿- cyanobiphenyl... -
MuSR Study of Magnetically Frustrated Lu2Mo2(O,N)7 pyrochlores
The combination of magnetic frustration and low magnetic moment leads to non-classical magnetic behaviour such as spin liquid states. We have prepared polycrystalline samples of... -
Effect of Pressure on the Structure and Dynamics of Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is... -
Scaling Model for the adsorption of macromolecules at the oil-water interface
The aim of this proposal is the application of the scaling model for the adsorption of proteins at the oil-water interface. The adsorbed amount for a series of oils as a... -
Gas Loading Effects on the Quantum Methyl Tunnelling Phenomenon in Zeolitic I...
This proposal is a continuation access to a recent experiment conducted at OSIRIS (RB1510529) to study the quantum tunneling characteristics of ZIF-8, which is a cubic... -
Variable temperature study of frustrated magetism in Lu2Mo2O5N2
Geometrically frustrated S= 1/2 magnets are of great interest as they do not show classical long range magnetic order at low temperatures and can adopt exotic quantum spin... -
Application of INS in order to identify the hydrocarbons retained within the ...
The Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction uses methanol as feedstock, and turns it into more industrially relevant products via a ZSM-5 catalyst. There is a lack of fundamental... -
Low-energy spin dynamics of a quantum analogue of ice
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of magnetic matter in which conventional magnetic ordering is suppressed. Magnetic analogues of ice are good candidates to observe this... -
Conformation of lipid, DSPC and cholesterol mixture
In this proposal we intend to investigate the intermolecular interactions in a mixed phospholipid/cholesterol monolayer at the oil-water interface using neutron reflectometry.... -
Interactions between a mixture containing two cationic polyelectrolytes and a...
Recently there has been a vast expansion in understanding about the interactions between oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures. The use of neutron reflectometry... -
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... -
Dynamics of trehalose-glycerol and lysozyme/trehalose-glycerol mixtures
The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of trehalose/glycerol mixtures and lysozyme in presence of trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration....
