Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary...

Antibiotic resistance is pathogenic bacteria is a major clinical problem. Resistance to all antibiotiotic classes, currentl yin clinical use, has been reported. By contrast, the...

We propose to carry out an inelastic neutron scattering experiment at LET to investigate the excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7. In contrast to other single crystal...

Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of...

Discovery of time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking in Re-based noncentrosymmetric (NCS) α-Mn structure compounds has garnered much attention, due to the repeated occurrence...

In this proposal we investigate the suitability of a-alumina as a model for the natural oxide formed on aluminium metal. Alumina is often used as a model for the metal system...

In this work, we propose to exploit the unique capability of neutron reflection (NR) to study the structural changes of multi-component lipid monolayer models mimicking...

Several interesting results have emerged in studies of Aerosol-OT at the sapphire/solution interface that relate to effects of counter-ions, insensitivity to pH as well as the...

Oxidation of lipid membranes is widely known to play a crucial role in many cellular processes and pathological conditions such as apoptosis, inflammation, infection, or sepsis,...

Organic solar cells (OPVs) are photovoltaic devices that can convert the energy from sunlight into electricity and have attracted much attention as a viable green energy source...

We wish to investigate the magnetic structure of a series of magnetic multilayers using a new technique we have successfully implemented called Spin Echo Modulated Small Angle...

Proximity effects associated with magnetic impurities embedded in paramagnetic Pd have been known to produced so-called giant moments. It has been demonstrated that confining Fe...

pH-responsive polymer brushes comprise of long polymer chains of either a weak acid or base chemically attached to a surface. Depending upon the degree of ionisation along the...

The balance of proteins adsorbed at a surface is important in a wide range of situations, e.g. implants, nanoparticles. The accepted model is that rapidly diffusing proteins...

Polymers, end-functionalised with carboxylic acid (COOH) groups do not normally segregate to film surfaces due to the high surface energy of these functionalities. However, we...

Hexagonal close packed (HCP) alloys have a wide range of industrial uses, including within the nuclear industry and for aerospace applications.The properties of HCP alloys are...

Charge density wave (CDW) order has recently been established as a generic feature of high-temperature cuprate superconductors. It occurs near 1/8 doping and has been observed...

We propose to investigate the interplay of magnetic and structural properties in the multiferroic PbFe1/2Nb1/2O3 (PFN). PFN is the magnetic analogue of the archetypal lead based...

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations destroy long-range magnetic order. Here, we propose to...

The Darmstadt stair ambulation dataset was collected to improve the control and assistance of wearable lower limb robotics. It contains the kinematics, kinetics and...
