Non-lamellar lipid-based liquid crystalline structures at interfaces - effect...
To understand better the properties of non-lamellar liquid crystalline nanoparticles, LCNP, as delivery vehicles or surface modifying systems, it is crucial to understand how... -
SANS DETERMINATION OF CO2 ABSORPTION INTO SURFACTANT STABILISING LAYERS
Recent SAXS measurements have indicated that CO2 can dramatically swell the surfactant layer in w/o microemulsions formed in CO2-swollen oils and also enhance solubilisation... -
Temperature Effects and Kinetics of Thiolipid Adsorption to Gold Surfaces
We have a programme investigating the structure and function of protein scaffolds oriented on gold surfaces using sulfur chemistry for attachment. The aim is to direct the... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated and ball-milled graphite
The recent interest in carbon-based materials like graphene stimulated a deeper analysis of the magnetism in graphite defects. In a previous µSR experiment we observed an... -
Microscopic dynamics of water associated to phospholilipd/polysaccharide nano...
In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic... -
Study of Co- and Fe-doped and undoped hafnium oxide tunnel barrier structures
We propose to investigate with polarized neutron reflection (PNR) measurements the magnetic moment and interface properties of Co- and Fe-doped HfO2 thin films and undoped HfO2... -
Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Thin Films
We have recently used a combination of PNR and low energy muon spin rotation (LEM) to detect the coexistence of an induced SDW and superconductivity in the superconducting layer... -

Interfacial layer structure of designed linear lipopeptides
Lipopeptide surfactants are a group of interesting biosurfactants due to their natural origin and their high effectiveness at reducing interfacial tension. However, there is a... -
A study of protein adsorption via chelating lipids within a solid supported l...
The crystallisation of membrane proteins is of great interest, not least, to the pharmaceutical industry. We have recently begun a project aiming to investigate the role played... -
Study of Small molecule effects on AB interactions with model lipid layer by ...
Neutron reflectometery will be used to provide the vital information about the interaction/conformation of the organophosphonate compound on the lipid structure in the... -
Diffraction investigation of cyclic molecules on surfaces of different symmetry
The wetting of solid surfaces by gases and liquids is both fundamentally and technologically important especially in the areas of energy storage and conversion, e.g. catalysis.... -
Structure of AOT layers at the sapphire water interface ¿ avoiding an isotope...
Several interesting results have emerged in studies of Aerosol-OT at the sapphire/solution interface that relate to effects of counter-ions, insensitivity to pH as well as the... -

The structure of hydrogen in calcium-ammonia-graphite: an in situ time resolv...
The aim of this proposal is to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane structure of H2 in the two dimensional galleries of stage-I calcium-ammonia-graphite intercalates: this... -
Pd, Ni, V, Nb and Ti capping layer clamping effects in hydrogen cycling in Ca...
We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in... -
Designing polymer therapeutics to diffuse through mucin
Progress in the development of nano-sized hybrid therapeutics and nano-sized drug delivery systems - "nanomedicines" - over the last decade has been remarkable. One key... -
Nanophase separation in monolayers of stratum corneum mixtures
There is considerable effort being put into the modelling of the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, because of impending EU restrictions on the use of animal skin for... -
Large Fractal Aggregates in Silica Rubber Nanocomposites
The self assembled structure of silica aggregates in polybutadiene rubber is vital to our understanding of dynamic energy dissipation effects in tyres. Previous experiments on... -
Neutorn Reflection from a 3He layer adsorbed onto liquid 4He
More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum statesof 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low temperatures,...
