The use of magnetic contrast layers for neutron reflectivity to investigate n...
The search for new clever ways to deliver drugs, which often are not possible to dissolved in water, has lead to the development lipid based small particles. These particles can... -
SANS evaluation of novel nanocolloidal drug carriers
With the beamtime requested we plan to employ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to study novel nanocolloidal drug carriers prepared using lipids, surfactants and... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Hydrated Surface Confinement Using Tethered Lipid Membranes Under Applied Ele...
Understanding the forces acting on macromolecular structures at surfaces is vital to a number of different branches of science and engineering, ranging from bio-fouling to... -
Aggregation behaviour of aqueous hairy rod conjugated polyelectrolyte/surfact...
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to characterise the structures of aggregates formed between the anionic conjugated polyelectrolyte... -
Magnetic contrast reflectometry to resolve transmembrane potential effects on...
The division of bacteria is controlled by the binding of proteins to the inner of the two lipid bilayer membranes that separates the inside of the cell from the outside world.... -
How is the nanoscale structure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) impacted by the...
This experiment will determine how the structure and porosity of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) changes when the ice is contaminated by adsorbate molecules. ASW is a porous... -
The structure and orientation of the Bam complex in the Gram-negative outer m...
The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterialsurvival, from providing basic physiological functions, to aiding virulence and... -
NR study of binding of short antimicrobial alpha-helix peptides with model li...
In this work we explore how our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles bind onto lipid monolayers using neutron reflection combined with deuterium labelling to the lipids,... -
Co-adsorption of monoclonal antibodies and non-ionic surfactants at the air/l...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in a binary mixture with protein. However, we show... -
Two-dimensional correlation analysis of IINS of water with amino acids.
The interaction of water with biomolecules is of significant interest. To analyse the spectra, we are employing 2D correlation analysis. This has been used extensively with... -
Tuning the Magnetic Properties of γ-Fe2O3 Fe3O4 Thin Films for Atom Tr...
In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that... -
INS investigation of post-pressurised Cs2CuCl4
Cs2CuCl4 has been extensively studied using neutron scattering, and has revealed a quantum spin liquid phase below 2.8 K with antiferromagnetic interactions, and long range... -
Phase Separation in Organic Photovoltaic Cells
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells have the potential to be the basis of a renewable energy source that is inexpensive and portable. Current state-of-the-art solution-processed... -
High-p/T setup and Anvil Material Testing
We request 6 days commissioning time be allocated on PEARL for the on-line testing of new high-p/T furnace setups and new anvil materials. -
PNR of Magnetic Order in Delta-Doped Topological Insulators
We aim at studying proximity effects between a ferromagnetic thin film (either metallic or insulating) and a topological insulator (either undoped, or magnetically homogeneously... -
Study of the protein denaturation in glassy matrices
The proposed experiment is addressed to use the MARI spectrometer to study the thermal denaturation process of the psychrophile enzyme alpha-amylase in presence of bioprotectant... -
Effect of Nucleating Agents on Phase Behavior in thin film bulk heterojunctio...
Neutron reflection will be used to investigate the normal composition profile in thin films of blends of electron-donor poly(alkyl thiophene) and the electron-acceptor... -
