A µSR study on single crystals of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor La7Ni3.
Noncentrosymmetric La7Ni3 is one of the Th7Fe3 family of compounds. A lack of inversion symmetry in the Th7Fe3 crystallographic structure means that the superconducting members... -
Surveying Hebel-Slichter peaks in conventional-ish superconductors
The presence of a Hebel-Slichter peak in NMR or µSR measurements just below the critical temperature of superconductors is taken to be strong evidence for conventional behaviour... -
Investigation of phosphatidylcholine and its interaction with 1,2 propandiol ...
The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a... -
Structure of oil-in-water microemulsions containing eutectic mixtures of ment...
Although microemulsions have been widely investigated as potential drug delivery vehicles, relatively little work has been performed establishing the detailed molecular... -
In situ Neutron Diffraction Study on the Effect of Annealing Treatment on Pha...
Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy), which belongs to one of categories of shape memory alloy, has drawn significant attention from scientific community and industry for their wide... -
Transverse field evolution of magnetic excitation spectrum in Nb1-yFe2+y
Our previous neutron scattering on C14 Laves phase compounds Nb1-yFe2+y revealed that a spin-density-wave (SDW) is masking an underlying ferromagnetic (FM) quantum critical... -
Neutron Scattering Investigation of the Hyper-Kagome Spin Liquid Candidate Yb...
The magnetic Yb3+ ions in Yb3Ga5O12 (YbGG) reside on a frustrating lattice of interpenetrating triangular layers, the hyper-kagome lattice, expected to stabilize exotic quantum... -
Investigating semi-metal superconductivity in a Lu3Os4Ge13 single crystal
Lu3Os4Ge13 is an interesting superconducting system, with potentially unconventional physics. It is a low carrier density semi-metal, exhibiting superconductivity at 3.1 K. This... -
Residual stress mapping within creep resistant DC cast Magnesium alloy slab
We aim to use the ENGIN-X facility to measure the residual field within an industrial scale (1 x 0.8 x 0.3 m), direct chill (DC) cast slab of a high strength, creep resistant... -
Characterisation of biocompatible hydroxy double salts
In our quest to generate novel drug delivery systems, we have synthesised two novel, non-toxic inorganic systems in form of hydroxy couble salts (HDSs) from biocompatiple... -
Investigation of crystal and magnetic structures of three polymorphs of Fe2WO...
Iron tungstate Fe2WO6 attracts increasing interest in two areas of applications due to its photoelectrochemical behaviour. Fe2WO6 can act either as a photocatalyst for... -
Bacterial membrane disruption by layered double hydroxide particles
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have recently been identified as interesting drug delivery vehicles due to their ability to intercalate guest molecules. Additionally, LDHs... -
Determination of Calcium scattering cross section at epithermal neutron energies
Neutron scattering cross sections tables are a permanent source of reference for all those performing neutron scattering experiments. For this reason, the availability of... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We... -
Determination of the absorbed amount and location of a hydrophobic drug in su...
Many drugs are both poorly water-soluble (hydrophobic) and lipophilic in nature and are therefore incorporated into surfactant micelles and monolayers. As the incorporation of... -
Phase behaviour and dielectric phenomena in bismuth niobate energy storage ma...
Bismuth niobate (BiNbO4) is widely used in multilayer RF and microwave components such as capacitors and chip layer capacitors. This compound exhibits two main structural forms... -
Effect of terminal blocking groups on solution aggregation of short peptide f...
Short peptide sequences such as KLVFFAE form well defined beta sheet structures. Their further templating through hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding is the principal... -
