Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Off-specular neutron reflection is potentially a powerful technique for studying the lateral organisation of phospholipid bilayers. However, this has not yet been demonstrated....

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

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...

The aim of this proposal is to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of H2 in the two dimensional galleries of stage-I calcium-ammonia-graphite intercalates: this...

Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of...

We request 4 days to collect high-resolution structural high-pressure data on two zeolites - zeolite A and EMC-2. Our previous theoretical findings from geometric simulation...

This proposal is part of a broad programme of collaborative research between RAL / Oxford and Unilever, using predominantly scattering techniques to investigate the nature of...

In this proposal we wish to continue our current work on mesostructured inorganic films in largely ethanolic solutions, containing limited amounts of water. Transition metal...

Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising...

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...

During the course of a PhD project funded by CCLRC's CMPC, we have developed a cell that allows electrical transport property measurements to be made simultaneously with the...

More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

We propose to carry out in-situ neutron diffractometry on testpieces of a latest-generation single crystal superalloy. This work is in support of current EPSRC projects...

We wish to investigate the pH-dependence of the strong interfacial interaction of 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) with poly(silicic) acid at the air-water...
