SANS DETERMINATION OF CO2 ABSORPTION INTO SURFACTANT STABILISING LAYERS
Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation... -
In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Magnetism in a charge doped cuprate chain
We have recently succeeded in measuring the excitation spectrum of charge doped cuprate chains with a 90 degree Cu-O-Cu bonding geometry. This study resolved a long standing... -
Interaction between Rubisco and SDOBS at an air-water interface
Protein-surfactant interactions at an interface play an important role for broad applications in the chemical, dairy, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Rubisco is the most... -
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... -
High Temperature Spin Transition in LaCoO3
We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change... -
Structure of hot dense liquid carbon dioxide
We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental... -
Microscopic structure of acetic acid in water and methanol
Some of the most important chemical reactions involve Brønsted acids and bases where the solvation structure and transport dynamics of charged defects in hydrogen-bonded... -
Water-based gels of half N-acetylated chitosans; potential pharmaceutical exc...
These experiments are part of a much broader programme at the University of Reading. focused on the use of water-soluble half-acetylated chitosan as a mucoadhesive polymer,... -
A Study of the Reduced interfacial Magnetisation in a Heusler/Insualator Tunn...
For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,... -
Structural study on the 3D arrangement of (hexa-acyl) lipid A in lipid membrane
Lipopolysaccharides are amphiphilic macromolecules indispensable for the growth and the survival of Gram-negative bacteria, one of the most diffuse classes of pathogenic... -
Investigating the effect of pore structure upon interactions of hydrogen with...
Three MOFs samples with high hydrogen storage capacities at 77K, and high surface area, are willing to be analyzed. In order to investigate hydrogen interactions within the... -
Impact of surfactant interactions on fate of marine aerosols: NO3-initiated o...
Mixed films of palmitic acid (PA) and galactocerebrosides (GCB) a proxy for marine aerosol exhibit attractive interactions due to H-bonding of galactose and carbonyl head... -
Contributions of ¿NH3+ torsions to phase transitions of glycine
It is proposed to investigate the torsional dynamics of the ¿NH3+ group of glycine-d2 in its three polymorphic forms using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). This study is... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
Neutron reflection from 3He layer adsorbed on liquid 4He surface
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low...
