An investigation of the superconducting ground state in the non-centrosymmetr...
In this proposal we propose to investigate the superconducting ground state of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor Ru7B3. Controversy exists over the nature of the... -
A µSR study of single crystals of the superconductor FeSe1 xTex (0≤x...
Superconductivity was recently discovered in alpha-phase FeSex with a Tc of 8 K. Selenium can be replaced with Tellurium (FeSe1-xTex) and this results in an increase in Tc to 15... -
µSR Study of Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor Re6Zr
In this proposal we propose to investigate the detailed superconducting properties of the superconducting compound Re6Zr with the non-centrosymmetric α-Mn structure.... -
Hydrophobicity ¿ The Key to Polymer-Drug Conjugate Conformation
The use of polymer-drug conjugates for the delivery of drugs to specific sites of disease within the body has shown much clinical promise. It has become clear that the... -
MUSR Study of the Non-Centrosymmetric Superconductor Alpha- BiPd
In this proposal we propose to investigate the detailed superconducting properties of the non-centosymmetric superconducting compound alpha-BiPd. Though this compound is... -
Crystal field and magnetic excitations of the non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermi...
Several non-centrosymmetric heavy-fermion compounds have been reported to exhibit unconventional superconductivity (SC). For example, both CeRhSi3 and CeIrSi3 order... -
Evolving microemulsions - tuning selectivity in oxidation reactions
We have begun to explore the synthesis, reactivity and physicochemical properties of a number of surface-active metal complexes, to devise a method for the catalytic... -
Characterising micelles formed from new polymerizable amphiphiles derived fro...
Amphiphiles derived from amino acids are important functional materials. The amino, carboxyl and side chain groups present in the chemical structure of amino acids provide wide... -
Magnetic excitations in CrB2
CrB2, like MnB2, are transition metal diborides that have magnetically ordered ground states. Preliminary neutron (TAS) work and in house lab indicated that the dispersion has... -
A µSR study of single crystals of the superconductor ZrB12
We have grown large single crystals of ZrB12 with an image furnace at Warwick. Our previous uSR study on a polycrystalline sample of superconducting ZrB12 using MuSR at ISIS... -
Co-existing Hydro/Fluorcarbon Microemulsions for Lanathanide Emission Enhance...
Very recently (April) we undertook a SANS experiment (RB1110147) to probe the partitioning of metal-acac ligand complexes in complex microemulsion media. Our aim was to design a... -
The structure of mucin at large distances - a spin-echo SANS study
Mucus is a bio-gel, an opaque and slimy secretion that forms a continuous ¿blanket¿ adherent to epithelial surfaces in mammalian organs (eye, nose, conductive airways,... -
Contrast variation studies of novel binary polypeptide gels
Low molecular weight gelators (LMWG) form hydrogels via self-assembly in water under specific conditions to form long, fibrillar structures. Non-covalent forces interactions... -
