Which is it? ¿ Neutrons distinguish monolayers xrays can¿t.
We have obtained the monolayer structure diffraction patterns from several iodoalkanes adsorbed on graphite, of interest in the study of non-covalent bonding. However, it is... -
The phase diagram of the spin-density-wave metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7
Sr3Ru2O7 is an unusual layered oxide metamagnetic metal. It has been know for some time that the application of a large magnetic field (~8 T) perpendicular to the RuO2 planes... -
Nano-scale free volume and encapsulation properties of biopolymers: opening i...
Edible biopolymers are routinely used in the encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive ingredients (e.g. medicines, nutrients, flavours). Common encapsulants are in... -
Study of interface and induced magnetic moment in C60 in bi- and tri-layers o...
Single layer of Fe, bi- and tri-layers of C60/Fe are grown on MgO (001) substrate using DC magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation for Fe and C60, respectively. The samples... -
Does ozone initiate damage to the main pulmonary surfactant lipid, DPPC, or c...
Exposure to ozone gas can cause inflammation of the airways and breathing difficulties. The initial reaction of ozone is thought to be predominantly with lipids present in the... -
Interaction of muonium centres and excess carriers in highly injected silicon
We have developed a method to measure carrier recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon with the photo-muSR technique. The key of the method is to measure the dependence of... -
Do hydroxyl radicals penetrate the organic monolayer at the air-water interface?
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
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... -
Total scattering measurement of EMT framework zeolite: does it obey Lowenstei...
Zeolites are meso- and nano-porous framework materials with applications in many industries. The zeolite framework consists of corner-sharing tetrahedral units. The catalytic... -
The search and optimisation of Delta0 resonances in TIPS-Pentacene in solution
To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous work on using muons to measure photo-excited states in organic semiconductors or related materials. Our photo-excitation ideas... -
Interfacial Structures of Co-sensitized Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Working Ele...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are promising candidates for building integrated photovoltaics. The use of multiple dyes simultaneously, co-sensitization, promises improved...
