The voltage-induced actuation of a weak polyelectrolyte brush is an example of an ultrathin, remotely controlled responsive surface coating. We propose a continuation of...

Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based...

Zinc sulfide nanoparticles have a wide range of potential applications, in particular due to their optical properties. Research has enabled ZnS nanoparticles to be prepared with...

X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

The grain size dependence of magnetic properties of the mother material of the high-Tc cuprate, La2CuO4 (LCO), is proposed to study by muSR. Although LCO shows an...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the...

Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple...

One way in which nanoparticles may differ from bulk properties are in terms of their response to pressure, but at the present time there have been very few structural studies of...

This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally...

In extension of our previous study on particle size dependent solubility limits in nano-sized LiFePO4 we wish to extend our study to temperature dependent solubility limits in...

We propose to study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) domain structure of 100 nm thick Fe2O3 thin films using WISH. The sample will be magnetically poled to prepare an imbalance in...

We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will...

Many biological processes occur at the interface of cells, at the so called cell membrane, such as internalization of biological nanoparticles, including virions, exosomes and...

The proposed experiment is to observe optical spin-injection in Silicon through MuSR detection. An important part of research in next generation electronics focusses on the...

Soft errors are expected to be the most dominant failure mechanism at 20 nm technology node. With the low critical charge requirements for an upset (~ 0.1 fC), SRAM cells and...

This proposal is part 2 of a set of two proposals on Offspec aimed at understanding some of the effects seen in off-specular data and in particular the use of the spin echo...

Recently, we have studied new doped alloys CeCo1-xNixIn5 for the first time. The substitution of Ni for Co simply suppresses the superconducting phase without generating...
