Neutron reflectivity for lithium battery SEI formation
We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance.... -
Studying Artificial Ripple Structures
In addition to smoothing and self-affine roughening ion bombardment of solid surfaces can result in ripple and dot structures with nanometer scale dimensions. This method... -
Investigating the response of lipid bilayers to physically structured substrates
The functionality of biological membranes is closely tied to their structural behavior. To understand this behavior we propose to study the conformality of artificial lipid... -
Testing the efficacy of the spin echo technique combined with the dynamical t...
The sensitivity of the Spin Echo Resolved Grazing Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) to scattering geometry and sample specifications has been tested at OFFSPEC on gratings with...
