Investigation of giant crystal electric field (CEF) splitting in CeIr3Si2
CeIr3Si2 exhibits highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall CEF splitting of the J=5/2 ground multiplet of... -

Excitations, BEC, and partially ordered states of liquid 4He in disorder
We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4... -
Nature of the protein corona on nanoparticle surfaces
When nanoparticles enter a biosytem they rapidly acquire a protein corona. The nature of the outer part of this corona will determine the response of the biosystem to the... -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
The effect of fatty acids on the adsorption of HSA at the silica water interface
The primary biological function of albumins is to be fatty acid carriers. The complexation of fatty acids to the albumin is expected to have a strong effect on its adsorption... -
Local structure of bulk and nanocrystalline Chromium
We plan to study the coupling between magnetic properties and local structure of polycrystalline and nanocrystalline chromium. Chromium undergoes a magnetic ordering transition... -
Proving the successful manufacturing of chemically-ordered L10 FeNi
The tetragonal chemically-ordered L10 FeNi phase has recently attracted significant attention for advanced permanent magnet applications due to its compelling magnetic... -
Chain Conformations in Monodisperse/Polydiserpse Electrospinning Solutions
Electrospinning is a technique which produces fibres from a polymer solution exposed to an electric field. The technique forms fibres substantially smaller in diameter than a... -
Mixed alkali metal nanoclusters and in situ formation of amides in large-pore...
We ask for 3 days on TOSCA to conduct Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy on potassium/sodium encapsulated in silica gel materials (K2Na-SG) and for in situ formation of... -
Order in the bulk and at the surface of dispersions of colloidal particles
Highly ordered dispersions of charged polymer particles that are tens or hundreds of nanometres diameter can be prepared. These are useful model systems for self-assembly and... -
Structure of lithiated anatase and rutile nanotubes
Bulk and nanoparticulate forms of various phases of titania (anatase, rutile, TiO2-B) act as hosts for Li intercalation but the nanoscale TiO2 can store significantly more Li... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Order and disorder in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds
In the high-performance and low-cost (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) magnetocaloric compounds, the detrimental hysteresis has been significantly reduced by balancing Mn:Fe and P:Si ratios, which... -
Dynamics of poly-acrylonitrile in polymer-layered silicate micro-objects
We propose to measure vibrational spectra from poly-acrylonitrile confined in nanoporous silica matrixes. Polymers confined in silica have recently been the subject of great... -
Tuning functionality and bulk behaviour of micelles with cyclodextrins
Beta-cyclodextrins (b-CD) are well tolerated in humans without toxic side effects and present in several injectable drug formulations, due to their ability to form host-guest... -
Phonon Density of States in Nanocrystalline YAG:Cr
Here we propose to measure the phonon density of states in nanocrystalline samples of YAG:Cr. Our parallel luminscence measurements have revealed dramatic changes in the phonon... -
Amide monolayers at the polymer melt air interface
This proposal seeks to identify and characterise the adsorption of primary linear amides that adsorb to the surface from the bulk of a polymer melt. These layers are... -
Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from three differently deuterated versions of 8CB.... -
Investigation of short range magnetic correlations in CeIr3Si2 using SR
CeIr3Si2 reveals highly anisotropic bulk properties with two magnetic transitions at TN1 ~ 3.9 K and TN2 ~ 3.1 K. The overall crystal electric field (CEF) splitting of the J=5/2...
