The aim of the present neutron reflectivity proposal is to obtain stereochemical and kinetic information studying the thermo-lyotropic behaviour of the lipid mixture DOPC-DDAB...

Here we propose to study the Janus character of self-assembled amphiphilic nanoparticles. For that amphiphilic core-shell nanoparticles will be synthesized with a surface...

We propose to make neutron reflectivity measurements of hydrophillic polymers covalently attached, via thiol chemistry, to the gold-water interface. In particular, we will...

The tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) is critically dependent upon interfacial disorder. Polarised neutron reflectivity will be used to characterise the magnetic roughness at...

We intend to perform accurate measurements of the magnetic field profile in the Meissner state of an ¿extreme¿ low-k superconductor (In, k = 0.06, k is the Ginzburg-Landau...

The aim of this experiment is to study the nucleation and molecular layer-by-layer growth of a 'thin film' (TF) phase at the buried substrate interface of thin films of fully...

A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic...

Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary...

Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix...

Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model...

We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...

The main purpose of the experiment proposed here is to study the effects of thermalisation on Artificial Spin-Ice (ASI) systems formed by nanomagnets with sub-100 nm lateral...

We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution...

We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be...

Cubosomes and hexosomes are particles with internal liquid crystal structures of the bicontinuous cubic or reverse hexagonal nanostructures respectively. The nanostructure...

We have recently performed a `proof-of-principle' Low Energy Muon Spin Rotation experiment on an organic spin valve. In an extension to our muon measurements and an attempt to...

Neutron reflectivity will be employed to investigate the interaction between dimethylsulphoxide and monomolecular films of phosphatidylcholine. The monolayer will be used as a...

The main objective of the present work is to gain an understanding of the interaction of the cationic protein, cyt c with anionic lipid membranes. This objective will be...
