In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
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... -
Magnetic Properties of Rare-Earth Carbonates
We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The... -
High Temperature Spin Transition in LaCoO3
We aim to continue our investigation of the high temperature magnetic interactions in LaCoO3. Our previous experiment has confirmed magnetic susceptibility data, with a change... -
Magnetic Disorder at Fe/MgO and Co/MgO Interfaces
The tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) is critically dependent upon interfacial disorder. Polarised neutron reflectivity will be used to characterise the magnetic roughness at... -
Inelastic neutron scattering in the Ce3Co4Sn13 heavy Fermion compound
We propose to use the OSIRIS spectrometer to measure the inelastic magnetic scattering on the newly discovered heavy Fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13. This compound has one of the... -
Evidence for a Diffuse Interfacial Region at the Dichloroethane/Water Interface
The 1,2- dichloroethane (DCE)/water interface is important because of its suitability as an electrochemical interface between two immiscible electrolyte soloutions. An issue of... -
Switchable adhesion between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes: dependence o...
Tuning the interactions between different surfaces has technological benefits in areas such as adhesion, compatibilisation and nano-actuators. We shall study the interaction... -
Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from three differently deuterated versions of 8CB.... -
Spin crossover and low temperature spin dynamics in In2VO5
The one dimensional material In2VO5 contains frustrated zigzag chains of corner sharing V 4+ (S = 1/2) square based pyramids interspersed with sheets of edge sharing InO6... -
Structural study of BiNiO3 at high pressures and low temperatures
BiNiO3, synthesized at high pressure, has the unusual charge distribution Bi3+0.5Bi5+0.5Ni2+O3 with ordering of Bi3+ and Bi5+ charges on the A sites of a highly distorted... -
The Influence of Post-Quench Delay on the Residual Stresses in Cold Compresse...
Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly... -
Sustainable polymeric deposition aids
This is a new programme of work and a collaboration between CCLRC, Oxford, Unilever and Manchester. It is concerned with polymer aided deposition to solid substrates, using... -
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... -
Ionic liquid containing microemulsions
The aim of this experiment is to characterise several novel ionic liquid ¿ oil and ionic liquid ¿ water microemulsions via SANS prior to their use in the synthesis of metallic...
