Aluminum based complex hydrides are interested in hydrogen storage materials. In the complex hydrides, Na3AlH6, CaAlH5 and AlH3 have a common crystallographic feature with AlH6...

We propose to perform a systematic study of the intermolecular librational mode of molecular water in the proton conducting hydrated alkali thio-hydroxogermanates...

High internal phase water-in-oil emulsions can be efficiently stabilised by polymer amphiphiles for a static emulsion, and also show high shear stabillity even at elevated...

This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant thin films which form at the air-solution interface. Our previous work investigated structure...

The aim of the experiment is to employ SANS to study the physical properties of a novel and very stable aqueous Fe3O4 ferrofluid system stabilized by the commercially available...

This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the...

Studies of internal dynamics in the pico seconds timescale, of cyt c trapped in MCM-41, would allow the forms, geometry, amplitudes and time-dependence of the motions involved...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor that has a number of interesting applications especially its optoelectronic (blue and near UV light emitting properties, as a...

Rcently the NFL behaviour near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (AFQCP) has been investigated extensively. Very recently, we have investigated, for the first time,...

For many Heusler compounds a spin polarisation close to 100% was predicted by band structure calculations. Thus if those materials are incorporated in magnetic tunnel junctions,...

There is a well-documented track record of research into water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions. Using newly discovered CO2 compatible surfactants, the next step is to explore...

This proposal seeks to identify and characterise the adsorption of primary linear amides that adsorb to the surface from the bulk of a polymer melt. These layers are...

Although high quality single crystals of cuprate superconductors have been available for quite some time, comparing the properties of different crystals often raised more...

The 'non-magnetic' ground state of a Kondo ion is generally believed to consist of the localised spin surrounded by a compensating cloud of conduction electrons coupled...

Here we propose to investigate the fluroide containing compounds - AgF2, CuF2 and Cs2CuF4. By taking advantage of the F-mu-F coupling wich occurs in these compounds, we will...

The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be...

Nanoemulsions have considerable potential for dermatological drug delivery. Small angle neutron scattering in combination with contrast variation will be used to characterize...

We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions...

The aim of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of DNA with the phospholipid bilayers. The effect of different forms of DNA, the presence of divalent...
