We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. The SANS method uses the...

The efficiency of silicon solar cells is limited to 29%. One possible way of breaking this limit uses a process called singlet fission, converting a high energy photon into two...

The herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione have been observed to have short half-lives in soil. Furthermore, their partition coefficients (Kd and Koc) suggest limited soil...

Mitochondria are not only the powerhouse of the cell, but are also involved in cellular suicide via apoptosis (programmed cell death). The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is a...

Comparison of the low frequency vibrational profile of deep eutectic solvents based on urea and tetraalkylammonium cations with varying degrees of symmetry. Architectural...

We plan to study the non-thermal microwave (MW) effects on H2O2 through its reaction with muonium under MW irradiation. The key objectives are 1) for the first time definitively...

Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the...

Metal oxides(MO) are widely used in technological applications especially for catalysts and supports for catalysts. We propose to use the inelastic response of H2 adsorbed on...

We wish to measure polymersomes having a long PEO chain which we develop for radionuclide encapsulation and which we believe improves blood circulation in vivo. Specifically we...

Here we propose to investigate the excitation spectrum of the new spin-ladder compound MgCu2O3. Unlike typical spin-ladders this compound has a rung coupling that is much weaker...

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...

We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths...

Drug delivery through the skin is an important route for administration of therapeutic agents. However, the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum provides a...

This proposal aims to understand how the structure of non-ionic surfactant micelles affects the amount of fungicides solubilised. SANS is a technique unique for unravelling the...

Research on organic photo-voltaics (PVs) has increased dramatically in the last few years, owing to the promise of low manufacturing costs, high production throughput and large...

Lead scandium niobate (PSN) belongs to the class of perovskite-type relaxor ferroelectrics, which are among the key functional materials. Due to their structural complexity, the...

Graphite has been the first material ever studied by µSR, but a comprehensive scheme to understand its behaviour still lacks. In particular it is not properly known if and how...

Advantages of using organic materials as the active layer in photovoltaics include their suitability for low cost and large area processes and their mechanical flexibility. In...

Considerable work has been carried out at ISIS with the aim of studying muoniated radicals in the gas phase by RF techniques. This has been motivated both by a desire to...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor that has a number of interesting applications especially its optoelectronic (blue and near UV light emitting properties, as a...
