Dynamic Adsorption of the Fusion Protein HSA-NEP at the Silica-Water Interface
HSA-NEP is a fusion protein with potential uses in treating Alzheimers disease. It consists of Neprilysin, a peptide degrading enzyme, linked to HSA, the most common protein in... -
Magnetic excitations in the quantum spin ice Yb2Ti2O7
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... -
Quasielastic scattering in stuffed spin ices: defects or low lying singlets?
The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very... -
Surfactants and additives at the metal-oil interface
The lubrication of surfaces by oils is a key aspect of many academic and industrial problems with significant financial implications. In this experiment we would like to extend...
