Magnetic Disorder at Fe/MgO and Co/MgO Interfaces
The tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) is critically dependent upon interfacial disorder. Polarised neutron reflectivity will be used to characterise the magnetic roughness at... -

Partial structural study at the oil-water interface
In our previous experiment we determined a value for the interfacial width of bare hexadecane-water interface. The NR-determined width was 6.0 ± 1.0 Å, which compares well with... -
Neutron Study of the Dielectric Multilayer Systems SiNx and SiOxNy
Due to the strong influence of interface, layer thickness and film surface quality on the efficiency of multi-layer dielectric thin film based devices, a careful analysis of... -
Interactions of de Novo Designed Antimicrobial Lipopeptides with Model Leafle...
In this work, we propose to exploit the unique capability of neutron reflection (NR) to study the structural changes of multi-component lipid monolayer models mimicking... -

Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Diffusion Kinetics in Multilayer Organic Films for OLEDs
Conjugated organic semiconductors form an exciting class of materials that can be used in a variety of cutting edge technologies including organic light-emitting diodes (OLED),... -
Observation of the magnetisation profile in a ferromagnetic semiconductor/fer...
Ferromagnetic III-V semiconductors lie at the confluence of magnetic storage and optoelectronic technologies, allowing the development of semiconductor heterostructure devices... -
Surface charge induced layering of ionic liquids on mica
The structure of ionic liquids at charged interfaces is an exciting and vibrant area of current research. Previous surface force apparatus experiments have shown layering up to... -
Effects of Architecture on Polymer Diffusion
As part of a wider study we are investigating the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences... -
Quantifying the Asymmetry in Cell Membrane Mimetic Supported Lipid Bilayers.
Cell membranes are characterised by complex lipid composition and asymmetric distribution of lipids (lipids facing the outside of the cell are different from the lipids that are... -
Non-local electrodynamics effect in an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor
We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau... -
Neutron reflection study of effects of non-ionic alkyl ethoxylates on model w...
We propose to use NR to study the structural features of the model wheat wax films formulated from the known main components of long chain primary alcohols and an ester. By... -
Probing the wetting transition in a semiconducting liquid crystal thin film b...
The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully... -
Membrane Composition-Dependent Interaction between Beta-Arrestins and Lipid M...
Beta-arrestins are proteins that regulate GPCR signaling, e.g. by recruiting endocytic components to remove the receptor from the plasma membrane. Our fluorescence microscopy... -
Neutron Reflectometry of Tethered Microphase Separated Block Copolymers
Neutron reflectometry will be used to probe the scattering length density profile in tethered films of block copolymers grafted onto silicon substrates. The tethered... -
Structural Analysis of Water Multilayer in Lamellar Mesoporous Materials
Although the preparation of lamellar mesoporous materials (LMMs) is very difficult due to collapsion in removing the templating surfactant, we have successfully synthesized a... -
Organisation of Outer membrane protein F at the air/liquid interface
Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for...
