Room temperature biskyrmions in non-chiral thin film MnNiGa
Skyrmions are topologically protected, nano-sized objects which have been shown to exist in the spin textures of a range of magnetic materials and are currently under intense... -
Confinement and Liquid Crystal Films
Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers... -
Study of the interfacial self-assembly of peptide/polymer membranes by neutro...
The interfacial self-assembly between large (polymer) and small (peptide) molecules of opposite charge results in the formation of highly organized membranes. Furhter... -
Characterization of heterogeneous solvent structure in a carbon capture fluid
We propose to use neutron scattering experiments to gain molecular level insight into an intriguing liquid structure observed in a water-free CO2-capture solvent. Switchable... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids and Sugars with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our... -
Technological study of ancient byzantine 12 Nummi coins Part II
Byzantine bronze coins (6th cent. AD) minted in Alexandria, and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, are studied with focus on technological aspects. For the leaded... -
The structure of glycerol mono oleate at the iron oxide/dodecane interface
The reliability of combustion engines is enhanced by lubrication, which provides wear protection along with reduced emissions and fuel consumption through the minimisation of... -
Characterisation of bioadhesive protein-PEG conjugates grafted to titanium su...
Summary: Titanium implants are surgically important and require a hydrophilic polymer coating to prevent biofouling in situ. Bioadhesive proteins can be covalently tethered to... -
Influence of shear on polymer adsorption at solid / liquid interfaces
Lubricants contain a complex mixtures of polymers and base oils that must provide protection to moving surfaces with minimal energy loss due to friction or viscous drag. There... -
Characterising the corrosion/inhibition mechanisms of iron in different envir...
Offshore structures such as wind turbines and oil rigs generally comprise steel structuresessentially ferritic ironand are extremely prone to corrosion, a problem that causes... -
Ion Layering at the Graphene Electrode Surface for Supercapacitors
This proposal aims to combine the approaches of several successful recent neutron reflection studies by our group to directly measure ion layering at electrode surfaces. In this... -
In Situ Measurement of the Spin Seebeck Effect
The spin Seebeck effect is a newly discovered phenomenon that if harnessed, could result in a significant improvement of the efficiency of thermoelectric energy generators. Spin... -
Aggregation effects on long length scales in solutions for organic photovolta...
Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of... -
Structural changes in electron transfer proteins used in biophotovoltaic cell...
This proposal seeks to gain an understanding of the adsorption and desorption behaviour of a redox membrane protein, cytochrome c, in electrochemical cells using different anode... -
Temperature-induced structural changes of Organic Friction Modifier films at ...
Engine oils provide lubrication to moving components in engines, improving vehicle lifespans whilst reducing emissions and fuel consumption by minimising friction. A common... -
Oxidation of bilayer of DPPC on a mineral interface by aqueous OH radical ki...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -
Proximity induced magnetisation in topological insulator-antiferromagnetic he...
We aim at investigating a new method to create dissipation less currents. We combine a topological insulator with an antiferromagnet to induce ferromagnetic order in the... -
