Steroidal drug containing dodecyl sulphate monolayers: effect of counterion
An number of potential drugs, including steroidal drugs are extremely water insoluble, limiting their commercialisation as medicines. Solubilisation of drug in surfactant... -
Study of mixed biopolymers at the oil-water interface
Proteins are important in many applications ranging from the stabilisation of emulsions (oil-water interface) to foams (air-water interface). Understanding the relationship... -
Lipodepsipeptides and Brown Blotch Disease in Mushrooms (ii) the role of tola...
Tolaasin is a lipodepsipeptide (lipo = hydrophobic side chain, depsipeptide is an amino acid ring closed in a particular way) produced by strains of Pseudomonas tolaasii, and it... -
Multilayering of Isostearic Methyl Ester Sulphonate at the Air-Aqueous Interf...
Surfactants usually form a single layer of molecules at the surface of water. We have shown that under certain conditions more than one layer may form. in which case the system... -
Investigation of surface conjugation of proteins in lipid membrane using neut...
Bilayer lipid membranes and their interactions with the integral or peripheral proteins serve as one of the key mechanism in various cellular functions like communication, cell... -
Investigating artificial multiferroic structures using polarised neutron refl...
Multiferroic systems have more than one functionality, i.e. ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity and ferrotoroidicity. In nature there are few materials that... -
Search for neutron spin-resonance in the exotic heavy fermion superconductor ...
Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -
The use of surfactant structure to control self-assembly induced by the addit...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Interfacial structures and competitive adsorption of amphiphilic polymers wit...
Foam stability, appearance and functionality is governed by the thin liquid films between foam bubbles. These films are stabilised by surface active molecules (surfactants and... -
What is the reactivity of marine atmospheric aerosol to oxidation? A study of...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Crystal and magnetic structures of new ruthenate perovskites
Ruthenate perovskites have a diverse range of electronic properties originating from electron-electron correlations within broad 4d bands. We have recently investigated the high... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
In-situ analysis of martensite transformation in Austempered Ductile Iron
The microstructure of austempered ductile iron (ADI) consists of high carbon autenite and bainitic ferrite along with graphite nodules, which is created by austenitising and... -
Diffraction 'artifacts' due to shape sie and thickness variation in copper (p...
We poropse to study the effect of postion, varaiation of distance and jaw size on a configuration of two Cu plates on the INES diffractometer in order to obtain informaton on... -

Spin-Lattice coupling in Frustrated Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet AFeO2 ...
In this proposal, we would like to propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments on the powder samples of the frustrated antiferromagnets AFeO2 (A=Cu and Ag) using WISH. In... -
Magnetic study of the new skyrmion-carrying material CoZnMn
Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are swirl-like magnetisation entities that satisfy topological quantisation conditions. They can therefore not be easily unwound into another... -
Investigation of the surface structure of anionic surfactants induced by the ...
This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705) / Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at... -
Giant magnetostriction in CoMnSi: a tricritical metamagnet with large changes...
For several years, we have been studying the thermodynamics of the metamagnetic phase transition in CoMnSi and substituted versions. Our motivation has been that the...
