manipulating surface adsorption usinf ethoxylated polyelectrolytes
The strong interaction between polyelectrolytes and ionic surfactants can result in pronounced surface adsorption and the formation of surface multilayer structures. This... -
Life without water: The role of intrinsically disordered proteins under condi...
When cells are subjected to stress, such as drying, globular proteins are observed to unfold and irreversibly aggregate. Certain intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not... -
Ion Layering at the Graphene Electrode Surface for Supercapacitors
This proposal aims to combine the approaches of several successful recent neutron reflection studies by our group to directly measure ion layering at electrode surfaces. In this... -
Quantum critical dynamics in the purely dipolar antiferromagnet LiErF4
LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of the metallic toroidal system UNi4B
There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to... -
Investigating the effect of magnetic impurities on P3HT ALC resonances.
Previous work on the polymer RR-P3HT has found that the ALC resonance collapses at 100K to ~80% of the 300K ALC magnitude, this is much larger than the decrease seen for small... -
Characterisation of Protons in Pyrochlore Electrocatalysts
This proposal is about understanding the atomic-scale structure of complex oxides that contain water or protons and that are used as electrocatalyts for water splitting. Such... -
Autoxidation vs. Ozonolysis of Surfactant Mixtures Containing Poly-unsaturate...
Surface-active molecules with water-loving and water-hating parts have been found to contribute substantially to the man-made urban aerosol load originating from cooking... -
Nuclear and magnetic structural investigation of single crystalline and powde...
Recent single crystal work on α-CoV2O6 has found a significant enhancement of the nuclear Bragg peaks on entering the low temperature antiferromagnetic states. This... -
Muon Spin Relaxation detection of Spin-Polarized Conduction Electrons in Silicon
The proposed experiment is to observe optical spin-injection in Silicon through MuSR detection. An important part of research in next generation electronics focusses on the... -
The Anderson-Gruneisen parameter and high P/T crystal structure of post-perov...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present in all the lower mantle: MgSiO3-perovskite (PV) and... -
Solution aggregation of lipopeptides: SANS structure determination
Lipopeptide surfactants are highly effective at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a general lack of understanding of the relationship between their molecular... -
