The structure of methanol in halloysite nanotubes
Understanding the structure of liquids in nanopores and at interfaces is extremely important in many natural and industrial processes. In this experiment, we will use the unique... -
Copy of: Inelastic Neutron Scattering on Activated Phyllosilicate Catalysts
We propose to study a model phyllosilicate catalyst that, upon brief thermal treatment, releases OH groups from its surface to generate pockets of coordinatively unsaturated... -
Structure of ethylammonium nitrate-water mixtures
We propose to explore the morphology of Ethylammonium Nitrate (EAN, a protic ionic liquid, PIL)-water mixtures. Both components are polar, protic compounds whose structure is... -
Excitations of the Zeeman ladder in a transverse field in the Ising antiferro...
The excitations of an Ising antiferromagnetic chain have been studied in the past and are known to form either continuous spectrum or Zeeman ladders. Such a system can be... -
The interaction of hydrogen with gallium oxide
There is an increasing interest in the application of gallium oxide as a catalyst support material, with particular interest in its use in new methanol steam reforming... -
Lattice and proton vibrational dynamics in Sc-doped BaTiO3 proton conductors
Proton conducting BaTi1-xScxO3Hx (BTS) perovskites are promising materials for proton conducting fuel cells in the intermediate temperature regime (200-600 °C). Compared to... -
Simultaneous Raman and structural studies of the proton conductor CsHSO4.
Caesium hydrogen sulfate, CsHSO4 is a solid acid proton conductor, which operates in the temperature range from 100 to 200 °C. Hence, it has potential application in... -

Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Searching for encounter complex in solutions of frustrated Lewis pairs - II
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' preform an encounter complex associated by van der Waals forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts, and... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at... -
Interaction of a small protein with water and other solutes: The case of Glut...
The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance.... -
