High energy spin excitation in superconducting Rb0.8Fe1.68Se2
Superconductivity (SC) in unconventional superconductors is believed to be related to magnetism. However, in AyFe1.6+xSe2 (A = K, Rb, Cs) system discovered in late 2010, the SC... -
Spin waves in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4
We propose to measure the spin wave dispersion and intensities throughout the Brillouin zone of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4, whose ground state has the... -
Nematic spin fluctuations in tetragonal La2-xSrxCuO4
Uniaxial stress has been used to study the Fe-based superconductors with spectacular results. Both the transport properties and the low-energy magnetic excitations have been... -
Exploring the interactions between vesicles/viruses and supported lipid bilay...
Many biological processes occur at the interface of cells, at the so called cell membrane, such as internalization of biological nanoparticles, including virions, exosomes and... -
Calcium mediated interaction between siRNA and phospholipid bilayers: the eff...
The main objective of the present study is to gain an understanding of the nature of the interaction of ¿phospholipid membranes¿ with small, interfering RNA (siRNA) in the... -
Magnetic field diffraction study of Gd2Ti2O7
We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
The origin of ultra-low thermal conductivity in the thermal barrier material ...
Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and... -
Single Crystal Scattering Study of 163-Dy2Ti2O7 Using SXD
Spin ice materials are a class of compounds with exotic magnetic properties, resulting from the frustration. Magnetic monopoles have been detected at low temperature; manifest... -
Packing structural conformation of (H/D) nanogels at the air/water interface
The interfacial behaviour of thermoresponsive N-propylacrylamide (NPAM) based nanogels differs from solid nanoparticles because of the soft structural character. These nanogels...
