Probing lateral solvent and ion distributions in patterned pH swellable gels ...
Patterned, swellable hydrogels are finding increasing applications as sensing, optical focussing and actuation elements in Lab-on-a-chip structures because of their property... -
CO2-philic Low Surface Energy Surfactants for applications in Enhanced Oil Re...
In recent years, there has been an enormous interest in the study of surfactants for supercritical CO2 (scCO2). One important potential application of these materials is in... -
Investigating the uptake of cyclohexanone oxime in hierarchically-porous cata...
Sustainable technologies for polymer manufacture remain an important target of catalyst research. Thus, we have developed a hierarchically-porous (HP) SAPO (containing... -
Detailed Structure of Phospholipid Bilayers from Multiple Contrast Neutron Re...
In recent monolayer measurements, we have developed models for obtaining detailed structural information of phospholipid structures. The models employ a 'quasimolecular'... -
GISANS directed to study lipid bilayer structures on nanowire arrays
Nanowires are increasingly being used in life science to interact with living cells, for example as nanometer probes. The interaction between the cell membrane, i.e. a lipid... -
Adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfac...
This proposal is to explore adsorption of tetraalkylammonium (R4N+) counterions into monolayers of surfactant anions (see Figure 1) at the air-water interface, as a function of... -
Magnetic alignment of fullerene-containing gel fibers
The magnetic field-driven alignment of a photoconductive gel formed by an alkylated fullerene-C60 in n-alkanes will be studied. These could find application in next-generation... -

Polarised neutron investigations of the spin Seebeck effect
The spin Seebeck effect generates spin currents in various materials when they are subjected to a temperature gradient. These spin currents persist over length scales many... -
Equations of state of D2O ice III and ice V
The high-pressure forms of ice, phases III and V, are the equilibrium solids in contact with liquid water at pressures between 2.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, their properties are... -

Vibrational proton dynamics in a Ga[GaH3]4 clusterion through incoherent inel...
An unprecedented Ga[GaH3]4 clusterion, with the neopentane structure, has been found in the solid state hydrides Rb8Ga5H15 and Cs8Ga5H15. This is the first gallium-hydrido... -
Spin dynamics in the quantum spin ice state of Yb2Ti2O7
We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using... -
Polarised Neutron Reflectometry from Frustrated Nanomagnet Arrays
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,... -
Binding of DNA to Model Membranes in the Presence of Ca2+ Ions and a Membrane...
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... -
Characterization of the phase map of two ancient Japanese blades through neut...
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to have a good level of characterization of artefacts by traditional analytical... -
Copy of: An Investigation of Interfacial Structure of Pluronics at Solid-Liqu...
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... -
Characterising the membrane binding interaction of plant annexin Gh1
Annexins are a ubiquitous group of membrane associated proteins found in animals, plants and fungi. They are linked to wide range of functions including phospholipid... -
Rosseinsky programme access GEM
The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Neutron transmission strain tomography: a novel approach to strain mapping
Strain tomography is a novel approach to the analysis of residual strain fields that involves deconvolution of unknown distributions of residual elastic strains from redundant...
