Acid /amine complexation on an iron oxide /Oil interface
This experiment seeks to characterise the monolayer composition and structure of binary mixtures of fatty acid and amine. This represents a key additive system used commercially... -
Surfactant mixing at hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaces
By applying the regular solution model (RS) to the determination of composition in a mixed surfactant layer adsorbed at a hydrophilic solid/aqueous interfaceand combining it... -
Adsorption and activity of Thermomyces lanuginosus Lipase (TLL) at the oilwat...
The purpose with the proposed project is to provide a better understanding of structural changes in interfacial lipid layers due action of lipolytic enzymes. In this study we... -
In situ hydration study of the novel ionic conductor Ba7MoNb4O20
Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently... -
Modification of an adsorbed cationic layer by anionic surfactants below the CMC
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic... -
Proton vibrational dynamics in pristine and nano-confined ammonia borane stud...
In the proposed experiment ammonia borane (NH_3BH_3) will be investigated through incoherent inelastic neutron scattering on TOSCA at low temperature. Since it is well known... -
The role of biogenic amines in lipopeptide biofilm formation
Pore forming lipopeptides, such as Tolaasin, are produced by pathogenic mushroom bacteria, and are implicated in diseases such as ¿brown blotch¿ disease. They have potential... -
Effect of calcium ions and ionic strength on model bilayer structure
Calcium ions have been shown in a preliminary experiment to have a dramatic effect on the thickness and structure of free supported bilayer films. In this proposal we... -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
Oriented antibody binding layers
The proposal concerns the assembly of high density antibody binding surfaces to increase the sensitivity of medical diagnostics. Previously we showed that antibody binding... -
New surfactants forming anisotropic micelles and microemulsions in CO2
An analogue of the popular surfactant AOT with isopropyl glycol tails (IG-AOT, Figure.1) has been recently designed as a co-surfactant for water-in-CO2 (w/c) systems: stable... -
Oxidation of bilayer of labelled DPPC by aqueous hydroxyl radical elucidati...
Oxidation of atmospheric aerosol can produce cloud condensation nuclei capable of changing the reflectivity and lifetime of clouds. The oxidation of organic film on atmospheric... -

Search for magnetic domains in frustrated magnet CaFe2O4
We propose to study the temperature dependence of the size and shape of the magnetic domains believed to exist in CaFe2O4 - a frustrated triangular antiferromagnet. Our diffuse... -
SANS experiments on phase separation in Fe-Cr based alloys
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels is due to phase separation and in this proposal we will further investigate the underlying mechanisms for phase separation.... -
Investigation of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons through temperature-fi...
YbAl3C3 exhibits a spin gap formation due to spin dimer ground state below 10 K. In zero-field the ground state is paramagnetic and no sign of long range magnetic ordering down... -
Interaction of the nucleic acid, DNA, with a model biomembrane at the oil-wat...
The information gained in the study will be invaluable in aiding our understanding of the structure and transport properties of the cell membrane as well as helping in the... -

To determine the temperature evolution of the structures of two Bi-based perovskites with commensurate structures through their magnetic transition temperatures to contrast... -
Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Compositional and microstructural analysis of iron meteorites through time of...
Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron...
