DYNAMICS OF SURFACTANTS IN LUBRICATING OILS
In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)... -
Spin relaxation of short-lived spin-labelled radicals in solution
The spin relaxation rates of free radicals in solution can provide valuable information about the dynamics of molecular tumbling in solution, and solvent-radical interactions.... -
Interaction of Xe with Membranes Using µSR
The mechanism of action of inhalation anaesthetics such as N2O and the inert gases are unclear. Direct binding to receptor sites on membranes would rely on weak intermolecular... -
Development of Radio Frequency µSR as a Method for Determining Hyperfine Coup...
Radio Frequency µSR provides a direct method for accurately determining muon hyperfine coupling constants, Aµ, for muoniated radical species. The method complements the well... -
Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase subsite using muon spectroscopy
Solid state repolarisation measurements of [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] (RB 1010177) showed a weak recovery at ca.15G, a strong recovery at ca.100G and what was thought to be a weak... -
Interaction of N2O with Membranes Using µSR
Nitrous oxide, N2O, is an inhalant anaesthetic with a long history of use dating back to 1844. It is most commonly used as a light sedative in dentistry, or in child birth and...
