Benchmarking New van-der-Waals Functionals for Soft Layered Materials
The accurate description of van-der-Waals forces within density functional theory is currently one of the most active areas of research in computational physics and chemistry.... -
Probing membrane localisation of molecular rotors
A number of important biological processes, such as intracellular transport and signal transduction depend on the viscosity and the distribution of microdomains in cells. We... -
Structures of New Niobates Prepared by Hydrothermal Synthesis
We have prepared some new highly crystalline mixed-metals oxides using mild hydrothermal reaction conditions. Some of these are doped niobates, related to the important... -
Membrane interactions of virus-like silica nanoparticles as antimicrobial pep...
As a result of an increasing number of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are currently attracting significant interest. However,... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant on the surface of water
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the adsorption of collagen based polypeptide and its interaction with ionic surfactants at the... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a Raney cobalt catalyst: An INS investigation
Building on a successful programme investigating aspects of iron based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, it is opportune to extend that work to include Co FTS... -
Measure of momentum distribution and mean kinetic energy of D2O
A careful experiment on Vesuvio has shown an anomalous mean kinetic energy, , excess in moderately supercooled bulk water. This energy excess has a clear signature in the shape... -
Geometrical frustration induced quantum phase transition in CeRh1-xPdxSn: Ine...
The quasi-kagome Kondo lattice CeRhSn exhibits intriguing properties, which ascribe to quantum criticality induced by geometrical frustration. Divergent Grüneisen ratios provide... -
Weyl Points in the Magnetic Excitations of Er2Ti2O7
In the condensed matter community the last ten years have seen a revolution in our understanding of how topology influences the properties of solids. A famous example from the... -
Further SANS contrast measurements on important protein/DNA interactions from...
This proposal is to perform further SANS contrast measurements on three protein/DNA interactions currently worked on at the Research Complex at Harwell. This is part of an... -
Debasement of Roman Silver coinage
The quality of ancient silver coinage is often seen as a comment on the fiscal health of the issuing states. This is nowhere more apparent than with Roman coinages, which... -
Post-Mortem Submersion Interval (Pmsi) Estimation in Sea Water
Establishing the post-mortem interval (PMI) is often the primary objective in forensic investigations.Whilst various techniques for PMI estimation in terrestrial environments...
