Probing bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films with graded morphologies using SANS
This projects aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between processing conditions, active layer morphology and device performance in polymer solar... -
Tracking spring-type motions in inorganic helices
Materials with helical and double helical structure motifs are prone to display fascinating spring-type behaviour, i.e. a shallow energy surface along the spring-axis in which... -
Morphology-activity relationships in catalysis promoted by MoOx nanoparticles
Metal and metal oxide nanostructures can be prepared in much different morphology (nanowires, nanobelts, nanofibres etc.) which are known to exhibit better adjustable properties... -
Graphene Surface Functionalisation Effect on Hydrogen Spillover
Hydrogen spillover involves dissociation of molecular hydrogen at the surface of metals, particularly transition metals, followed by migration of the hydrogen atoms across the... -
Continuation of Proposal (RB820197): The elasto-plastic response of dual-phas...
In the current proposal we propose to test Zr-2.5Nb samples cut at a range of angles (0, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90°) in the RD-TD plane in in-situ compression at room temperature.... -

Substrate-dependent structure of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -

Defect structure in new lithium germanium molybdate LISICONs
Systems that exhibit a continuous framework, with electrolyte and electrode regions differentiated by small differences in composition are being developed for use in all solid... -
In-situ lattice deformation measurement in a ferritic steel at elevated tempe...
In our research programme the overall goal is to explore and characterise the multiscale deformation in a high-strength ferritic power plant steel (P91/P92). A micromechanical... -
Magnetostriction in (Bi, La)-orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -
