Dynamics of proteins undergoing cold denaturation
Pressure as a variable in biophysics/biochemistry allow the structure/function and dynamics/function relationships to be analysed in detail in various biomolecular assemblies.... -
Determining the interaction between water and carbon dioxide in smectite clay...
Interactions between CO2 and clay have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in caprock... -
Determination of the hydrogen adsorption sites for Mg and Zn formates
In the framework of the FIRENZE HYDROLAB research project(http://www.iccom.cnr.it/hydrolab/), a number of polymeric metal formates has been synthesized,with interesting... -
Mixing CO2-philc surfactants and hydrotropes as a new approach to control vis...
One application where liquid CO2 has found success is enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) of crude oil from porous rocks. However, a significant disadvantage of using CO2 in EOR is... -
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... -
Measuring strains in geologically important hydrous minerals
We request 4 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to measure the elastic behaviour of polycrystalline samples of gypsum, antigorite, and talc as a function of uniaxial load. All three... -

High Pressure Behaviour of Benzene
The interactions between benzene molecules in the solid phase is of fundamental interest. Benzene is often used as a model system for structure prediction methodologies and... -
Continued studies of materials in the BiFeO3-KNbO3 solid solution
In recent years there has been a resurgence in research dedicated to ferroelectric materials primarily due to the combination of the requirement for Pb-free replacements for... -
Tunneling effect of hydrogen and deuterium in alpha-Mn
DINS is capable of observing coherent tunneling of protons in a double well potential through the effects of the tunneling on the momentum distribution of the protons. In our... -
Nonfluorous Cosurfactant/Hyperbranched Surfactant Mixtures for W/CO2 Microemu...
This proposal aims to explore cheap and environmental-benign cosurfactants (or cosolvents) for yielding CO2-philic hydrocarbon surfactant/water/CO2 microemulsions (W/CO2... -
Hydration of phenylalanine at high pressure
Much of the detail regarding the causes of pressure-induced unfolding has been revealed from molecular dynamics simulations. However, these simulations have focused mainly on... -
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of a Lignin Model Compound - TOSCA
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
High-Pressure Structural Behaviour of 2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanol
In the mono-alcohols (ROH) there is a competition between the packing requirements of the R-group and for the hydroxyl groups to be sufficiently close for hydrogen bonding to... -
Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction in Butane by Mu Reactivity
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Compression of meridianiite (MgSO4.11D2O) single crystals to 5 kbar
We propose to carry out single crystal diffraction measurements of the most hydrated MgSO4 compounds, meridianiite, using a thin-walled TiZr gas cell on SXD up to 5 kbar. These... -
Test of a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrothermal Cell
The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for... -
INS Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Materials for High Capacity Gas...
We seek to develop highly robust MOF materials as high capacity gas storage systems and request 12 days on TOSCA to study the binding interaction between adsorbed gas molecules... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size....
