Exploring the interactions between vesicles/viruses and supported lipid bilay...
Many biological processes occur at the interface of cells, at the so called cell membrane, such as internalization of biological nanoparticles, including virions, exosomes and... -
Spectroscopy of muon centres in n-type silicon carbide
We propose a series of measurements to complete the previous direct spectroscopic measurements of the Muonium defect energy levels in Silicon Carbide (SiC; RB110134). We will... -
Antiferromagnetic domain manipulation in hematite thin films studied by neutr...
We propose to study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) domain structure of 100 nm thick Fe2O3 thin films using WISH. The sample will be magnetically poled to prepare an imbalance in... -
Particle and temperature dependent solubility limits in LiFePO4
In extension of our previous study on particle size dependent solubility limits in nano-sized LiFePO4 we wish to extend our study to temperature dependent solubility limits in... -
Determining the spin axis and Neel temperature of the antiferromagnetic thin ...
This proposal aims to determine the easy axis and Neel temperature of the new epitaxial antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin film CuMnAs. The samples have been fully structurally... -
High-pressure structure of magnetite nanoparticles
One way in which nanoparticles may differ from bulk properties are in terms of their response to pressure, but at the present time there have been very few structural studies of... -
Probing the Kinetics of Assembly and Triggered Dispersion of Peptide-Function...
Peptide-functionalized nanoparticle (NP) aggregates have significant potential as biosensors (for specific enzymes) due to their high sensitivity, modular design and simple... -
Investigating the Influence of Polymer Properties on Cyclic Peptide-Polymer C...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
Magnetism in novel organic/inorganic hybrid spin-valve nanostructures.
We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to... -
Investigating Morphology and Phase Separation in Low-Donor Organic Solar Cell...
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of solar cells that harvest photogenerated excitations ('excitons') and split them into free charges to generate electrical power. A... -
Magnetic Properties of Nano-Size La2CuO4
The grain size dependence of magnetic properties of the mother material of the high-Tc cuprate, La2CuO4 (LCO), is proposed to study by muSR. Although LCO shows an... -
Hydration effects in gels for water splitting.
Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness... -
Comparison Phase-object approximation and dynamical scattering theory
X-ray, electron and neutron scattering techniques have been used for the structural characterization of surfaces and embedded morphologies. Several theories have been developed... -
Structure of zinc sulfide quantum dots from reverse Monte Carlo refinement
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles have a wide range of potential applications, in particular due to their optical properties. Research has enabled ZnS nanoparticles to be prepared with... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -
Voltage-induced swelling and collapse of weak polyelectrolyte brushes
The voltage-induced actuation of a weak polyelectrolyte brush is an example of an ultrathin, remotely controlled responsive surface coating. We propose a continuation of...
