Measurement of gravitation-induced quantum interference
We propose to perform accurate measurements of the quantum gravitational effect on OffSpec. This proposal is a continuation of the proposal from 2011 (RB 1120061) and the lost... -
GISANS from Standard Samples
It is necessary to commission 'standard' GISANS samples to ensure that users can validate their measurements on Sans2d. This was put in as a full proposal at the last round and... -
Aggregation phenomena inside polymer brushes: lateral structure
We will use off-specular reflectivity to probe the characteristic lateral length-scales in responsive polyelectrolyte brushes grown by surface-initiated ATRP from solid-liquid... -
Measurement of gravitation-induced quantum interference
We propose to perform accurate measurements of the quantum gravitational effect for OffSpec. We would like to investigate if a similar discrepancy between quantum system gravity... -
Phase separation in confined polymer blends studied by SERGIS
We intend to study the phase separation morphology of confined polymer blends. Interface forces will impose morphologies different from those in the bulk. In our experiments the... -
Elucidating buried structures using Offspec
This proposal is a continuation proposal (previous RB 1110285) utilising the Offspec instrument and is aimed at further understanding the utility of the spin echo grazing... -
Quantum Entanglement of Neutron Spin, Path and Energy
What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This... -
Exploring colloidal assembly in periodic nano-confinements using neutron spin...
Colloids in confinements have structural and dynamic properties in some cases very different from bulk properties. In particular, when the width of the confinement is few times... -
Investigating methods to create cavities within templated electrodeposited po...
Nanoporous membranes are widely used in (bio)sensors, chromatography, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis. With increasing efforts to develop microfabricated sytem-... -
Studying Artificial Ripple Structures
In addition to smoothing and self-affine roughening ion bombardment of solid surfaces can result in ripple and dot structures with nanometer scale dimensions. This method... -
Polymer brush profiles using off-specular reflection from the walls of trenches
Nature frequently uses charged, weak-polyelectrolyte brushes at interfaces to control surface function and properties; surface wetting, lubrication, to limit deposition of... -
Substrate-dependent structure of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based... -
Testing the efficacy of the spin echo technique combined with the dynamical t...
The sensitivity of the Spin Echo Resolved Grazing Incidence Scattering (SERGIS) to scattering geometry and sample specifications has been tested at OFFSPEC on gratings with...
