Hydration of Laponite powder
In a recent experiment on NIMROD (RB1120193) we have studied the microscopic structure of Laponite suspensions at 2 concentrations, namely Cw=1.5% and Cw=3.0%, at both the... -
Probing the mechanism of thermoelectric enhancement in Kondo insulator YbB12 ...
We propose to study the evolution of the spectral features in the dynamical magnetic response in series Yb_{1-x}Tm_{x}B_{12} (x=0.15, 0.6, 0.8). Tm doping results in non-trivial... -
Metal Halide Induced Chemical Disorder in Chalcogenide Glasses
Chalcogenide glasses containing light alkali and Group 11 (Cu, Ag) halides MY (Y = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high ionic conductivity while their heavy alkali counterparts show... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
Ion Binding in Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of headgroup-ion interactions. In our previous experiments... -
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.... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Probing the structure of liquids above a metal-oxide interface
Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for... -
Determination of the bondlength of the surface hydride in PdH
Supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many processes. In the course of investigation of Pd-based catalysts used for the selective hydrogenation of nitro-arenes... -
Nanostructure in Ionic Liquid mixtures
In recent SANDALS experiments, we showed that simple ionic liquids (ILs) ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and ethanolammonium nitrate (EtAN) are structurally hetereogeneous, with... -
NIMROD: Continuation of the Structural Investigations of the Surfactant Coati...
This proposal aims to further investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid... -
Investigations of atomic and intermediate-range structure in model membranes
This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in... -
Ionic Liquid ¿ Water Interactions
This project aims to examine the structure of microemulsions formed by water and 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium-based ionic liquids with the acetate or octanoate anion. These... -
Modifer Interactions in Ternary Tellurite Glasses
We wish to better understand the interaction between alkali and alkaline earth modifiers within the tellurite glass network by measuring neutron correlation functions, T(r)s,... -
Searching the Magneto-structural Correlations on Double Salt Magnetic Ionic L...
In recent studies, we have found that imidazolium magnetic ionic liquid based on tetrahaloferrate anions display very interesting magnetic and dynamic phenomena (highlight ILL... -
Understanding the local structure of Li6PS5X (X = Cl, Br, I) and its impact o...
Cubic Argyrodites, Li6PS5X, are promising candidates for solid state electrolytes and much effort is put in understanding their structure property relation. NMR studies... -
Cation Ordering in Quaternary Sulphides and Selenides
We wish to investigate quaternary chalcogenides, A2ZnBQ4 (where A = Cu, Ag; B = Ge, Sn; Q = S, Se). Calculations indicate stannite (S) or kesterite (K) superstructures of both... -
Characterization of the fast lithium ion conducting phases Li(BH4)1-xBrx
Two days of beamtime on GEM will be used to analyse the structure of the fast lithium-ion conductive phases formed by anion doping the hydrogen storage material LiBH4 with...
