Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
Spin excitations in the superconducting FeTe0.6Se0.4
The FeTe1-xSex series exhibits superconductivity over a broad range of doping. Previously we have made extensive neutron scattering measurements on superconducting x = 0.49 and... -
Magnetic Excitations in Chromium
Chromium is unique amongst the d-band elemental metals in that it has a spin density wave ground state. The spin density wave is caused by Fermi surface nesting between electron... -

We propose to study the formation of lateral features during insulin amyloid formation on polymer substrates using off-specular neutron reflectivity. This will be done by... -
Isotopic Characterisation of Pore Surface Chemistry in Monolithic MCM-41 Subs...
Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars.... -
Magnetic ordering at the Verwey transition in bulk like Fe3O4 thin films
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a predicted half-metallic (100% spin polarised) ferromagnet with a high Curie temperature of ~858K. These properties make it well suited to use in... -
Neutron reflection studies on model wax films reconstituted from chemicals
Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that... -
calcite oil interface
The interface of CaCO3 (calcite) and oil is of paramount importance in a number of key academic and industrial areas, not least oil recovery. Neutron reflection has proved to be... -
Spin dynamics in the extended Kagome system YBaCo4O(7+x)
A recently discovered new class of geometrically frustrated magnets is the family of cobalt oxides RBaCo4O7 (R=rare earth or Y). The structure is built up CoO4 tetrahedra which... -
Diamond anvil cell for a combined X-ray and neutron diffraction study of glycine

This proposal will measure vibrational spectra from a series of catalyst samples produced from a pilot plant reactor at Tianjin University China converting dimethylether to... -
PNR study on the uncompensated layer at the interface of ferromagnetic and an...
Spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, based on a structure of free ferromagnet (FM)/nonmagnetic metal or insulator/pinned FM, have been extensively used in magnetic field... -
Solving the magnetic structure of ruthenium based 2H-perovskites
The variant of the Hexagonal perovskite oxides are characterised by chains of trigonal prisms and octahedra, leading to a number of fascinating properties. Using resonant x-ray... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Investigation of bilinear magnetoelectric effect in magnetic field-induced mu...
We propose to perform a neutron diffraction experiment under magnetic fields using a single crystal sample of multiferroic alpha-NaFeO2 on WISH beamline. Recently, we have... -
