We will perform time resolved TOF-reflectivity measurements on deuterated polystyrene (PS) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) thin blend films, which has a LCST type phase...

We have previously observed formation of polymer-surfactant films at the air-water interface having a range of structures including 2D hexagonal, bicontinuous cubic and lamellar...

The aim of the present study is to the determine, using specular neutron reflection (SNR), the structure of layers formed by novel tri-chain cationic lipids in combination with...

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...

The aim of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of DNA with the phospholipid bilayers. The effect of different forms of DNA, the presence of divalent...

We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

Nearly 40% of new chemical entries are poorly water-soluble. Drug encapsulation into water-soluble polymers is an active research area owing to the ability of improving drug...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of the weak polyelectrolyte, poly(dimethy amino ethyl methacrylate), grown from two different surface densities of initiator...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is...

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...

The main objective of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of the cationic protein, cyt c with anionic lipid membranes. This objective will be...

Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a...

We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to...

Cubosomes and hexosomes are particles with internal liquid crystal structures of the bicontinuous cubic or reverse hexagonal nanostructures respectively. The nanostructure...

We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be...

We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...
