We propose to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer:fullerene composite association to provide insight into engineering increased efficiency organic photovoltaics....

The interaction of alkyl hydroxamate with iron is of interest in mineral flotation science, corrosion control and also as a model for microbial siderophore chemistry. Long chain...

High quality epitaxial films of the multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 have been prepared using pulsed laser deposition. Using an electric field, we will induce a ferroelectrically...

This proposal seeks to investigate a class of synthetic membrane-active biopolymers which have been developed as potential drug-delivery agents. These polymers have shown pH-...

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been used in various industrial applications and consumer products, but have received increasing global concern due to their...

In materials where magnetic and structural transitions are coupled, a number of interesting and useful phenomena are seen, such as the giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and...

One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is...

Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a...

We propose to study off-specular polarised neutron reflectivity from an array of CoFeB nanostructures. Many groups use Permalloy to form these types of nanostructures, however,...

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

In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)...

Tri-block copolymers offer an excellent model system for the study of crystallization in the bulk as well as close to interfaces. It is known that the structures formed by this...

Reflectometry is a technique that is capable of vector magnetometry. By selecting the appropriate valves of Q we could access the different forms of magnetic disorder, either...

One of the main challenges in spintronics research is to provide a link between magnetic elements and conventional electronic circuits. A novel approach to this old problem is...

The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. In this experiment we would like to extend...

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...

Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of...

We shall demonstrate the use of neutron reflectometry to obtain three-dimensional structures in a non-invasive experiment. Spinodal dewetting is one of the few areas where...

Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that...

To continue with our study on the interaction between superconducting (SC) and ferromagnetic (FM) order parameters we propose to study, by means of Polarized Neutron...
