Characterisation of the gamma prime precipitate distribution in an advanced N...
The excellent high temperature properties of Ni-base superalloys are derived from the presence of fine precipitates of the intermetallic Ni3Al phase, termed gamma prime. The... -
Microscopic dynamics of water associated to phospholilipd/polysaccharide nano...
In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic... -
Development of internal strains during compression of Al-Si alloy Al-7Si-0.4Mg
This proposal follows on from our successful experiment on ENGIN-X lin 2006, where we measured the development of strains in the aluminium and silicon phases of a common casting... -
Structure/Conductivity Relationship in Doped Bismuth Tantalate Solid Electrol...
A detailed study of the temperature and compositional variation of defect structure in doped bismuth tantalates is proposed. Tantalum doping into Bi2O3 can achieve d-phase... -
Studies of magnetic polaron formation in EuS via RF-µSR
Experiment is proposed to identify magnetic polaron bound to the muon using RF-muSR. In recent experiment at TRIUMF magnetic polaron was found in transverse field and its... -
Dynamics of trehalose-glycerol and lysozyme/trehalose-glycerol mixtures
The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of trehalose/glycerol mixtures and lysozyme in presence of trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration.... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for... -
Phase-object approximation in neutron reflectometry
Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary... -
Study of the bioprotective effectiveness of trehalose/glycerol mixtures on ly...
The proposed experiment aims to study the dynamics of hydrated lysozyme in presence of trehalose, glycerol and trehalose/glycerol mixtures at different relative concentration in... -
A Study of the Reduced interfacial Magnetisation in a Heusler/Insualator Tunn...
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,... -
Temperature dependence on mangetic excitations from the high Tc cuprate BSCCO
We plan to continue inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the high Tc cuprate superconductor BSCCO with optimum doping. In the proposed experiment, we will have about 40... -
Structural distortions and magnetism in the layered oxide sulfide Sr2MnO2Cu1.5S2
This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to correlate the magnetic structure and the crystal structure of... -
Spin Coherent Transport in Organic Spin-Valves
We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to... -
Contributions of ¿NH3+ torsions to phase transitions of glycine
It is proposed to investigate the torsional dynamics of the ¿NH3+ group of glycine-d2 in its three polymorphic forms using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS). This study is... -
Neutron reflection from 3He layer adsorbed on liquid 4He surface
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low... -
Neutron transmission strain tomography: a novel approach to strain mapping
Strain tomography is a novel approach to the analysis of residual strain fields that involves deconvolution of unknown distributions of residual elastic strains from redundant... -

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with... -
Binding of DNA to Model Membranes in the Presence of Ca2+ Ions and a Membrane...
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... -
Surface layers in organosols
This research project addresses an overlooked, but fundamental issue of colloid science: surfactant adsorption dynamics at nanoparticle-organosolvent interfaces. Adsorption of...
