muSR studies of AF/SC/normal phase interplays in La2-xSrxCuO4 and Ba(Fe,Ni)2As2
We propose muSR studies on superfluid density in the overdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO). The Hayden group (Bristol) has been growing high-quality LSCO single crystals, and performed... -
Operando Analysis of Lithium/Sulfur Cells with SANS and deuterated solvents
Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong... -
Generalising the link between catalytic activity and low-energy normal modes ...
Our recent theoretical and experimental characterisations of novel Pd N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts showed a clear relation between low-energy normal mode energies and... -
Insertion of antimicrobial peptides into phospholipid monolayers at air/liqui...
We have designed a series of cationic peptides with different helix repeats that can kill bacteria but remain benign to mammalian host cells. The selectivity to cell types is... -
Temperature Dependence of the Oxidation of Monolayers Under Atmospheric Condi...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Rietveld refinement of pulsed neutron transmission data
The analysis of Bragg edge in pulsed neutron transmission spectra is finding increasing use in combination with advances in energy selective imaging applications, and it is... -
Does Sulphate radical anion oxidse cloud organic matter in the atmosphere?
Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects.... -
Neutron reflectivity studies of the interaction of amphotericin with model ce...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿... -
Probing the products of free radical reactions in ionic liquids
Many room temperature ionic liquids (salts with melting points near room temperature that hereafter will be referred to as ionic liquids) are ¿green solvents¿ for chemical... -
Spray-coating plastic solar cells: New materials & innovative processes for O...
We propose to study a range of new selenium containing lower energy gap organic photovoltaic materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and... -
IINS study of the terminating protons in the basic structural units of graphi...
Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as... -
Effect of electrochemical control function and dopant anion on polyaniline fi...
We propose to determine the structures (polymer and solvent populations and spatial distributions) of polyaniline films deposited by different protocols. These involve different... -
