Michel Binsbergen (77) woonde aan de bosrand tijdens de oorlog. Zijn vader was natuurfilmer en was speciaal tijdens de oorlog naar Texel gekomen om de vogels en de natuur van... -
Investigation of the nature of organic surface species formed on Au-based sup...
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... -
Probing the nature of the interactions at the surface of fuel cell catalysts ...
The objective of this proposal is to identify the nature of species formed on the surface of the catalyst material when they are exposed to typical fuel cell feed stocks and... -
Evolution of complex surface structures in LAS / nonionic surfactant mixtures
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... -
Analysis of magnetic properties via the F-mu-F state in inorganic flourides
Here we propose to investigate the fluroide containing compounds - AgF2, CuF2 and Cs2CuF4. By taking advantage of the F-mu-F coupling wich occurs in these compounds, we will... -
The nature of the Ferroelectric Phase in CdTiO3
The aim of the present proposal is to establish the structure of the ferroelectric phase of CdTiO3 and to determine the nature of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase... -
Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from three differently deuterated versions of 8CB.... -
Complex evolution of solution microstructure in LAS / nonionic surfactant mix...
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... -
Magnetic excitations in CrB2
CrB2, like MnB2, are transition metal diborides that have magnetically ordered ground states. Preliminary neutron (TAS) work and in house lab indicated that the dispersion has... -
Towards an accurate structural phase diagram for the novel BiScO3-PbTiO3 ferr...
The aim of this experiment is to determine accurately the crystal structures of phases in the (1-x)BiScO3-xPbTiO3 (BST-PT) perovskite phase diagram, particularly in the vicinity... -
Polyamorphism in Glassy GeO2
The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure.... -
Investigation of the excitation spectrum in the 1D distorted diamond chain Az...
We propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of azurite in both zero field and applied fields up to 7T. Using inelastic neutrons on OSIRIS we hope to clearly resolve the... -
Effect of pH on the shape of oil-in-water microemulsions formed by a zwitteri...
Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of... -
Understanding the nature of perfume / surfactant interactions at interfaces
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
The XY pyrochlore AFM:spin dynamics upon rare-earth dilution in Er2Ti2O7 (CON...
Er2Ti2O7 constitutes an experimental realization of the <111> easy-plane pyrochlore AFM and orders at 1.1 K into the theoretically predicted spin structure. However, the... -
Surface properties of biogenic polyamine-surfactant mixtures
Polyions and biogenic polyamine are ubiquitous in many important biochemical functions. We propose here to use neutron reflectivity to investigate their potential to induce and... -
Probing the nature of pairing in superconducting LiFeAs
The iron-based superconductor LiFeAs exhibits a number of unique features distinguishing it from other materials in its class. As yet, these differences are unexplained. This... -
High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts... -
Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -
Stochastic vs. Intermolecular Motions in Strongly Associated Liquids: The Cas...
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic...
