Understanding pressure-driven structural changes in FePO4-II
The room temperature high pressure behaviour of FePO4-I has been investigated and a phase transition at around 2.5 GPa to the orthorhombic phase (FePO4-II) accompanied by a... -
Comparison of Dynamical Behaviour in MAPbX3 and FAPbX3: How Do They Differ ?
Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite compounds are shown to be very promising candidates for low cost, solution-processable, highly efficient (>22%) solar cells with a... -
QENS Analysis of Methyl Rotational Tunnelling in Functional Metal-Organic Fra...
The development of decorated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for enhancing gas storage and mixed gas separation systems. This proposed QENS study will investigate... -
Understanding an-harmonic behaviour in lyophilised proteins - a high energy r...
By combining OSIRIS/IN16 elastic window and QENS data we better understand dynamics in lyophilised apoferritin. This complimentary approach reveals that the observed decrease in... -
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... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Suppressing long axis intermolecular vibrational modes in molecular semicondu...
The van der Waals nature of carbon based organic semiconductors (OSCs) offers low cost deposition routes while intermolecular vibrations affect to some extend their charge... -
How Encapsulated is a Sodide? Li+Na--EtNH2 vs Li+e--EtNH2
We have recently begun to look at how large, polarisable alkalides (group 1 metal anions) are solvated in solution. This proposal aims to determine how ethylamine is able to... -
Unravelling the ageing mechanims of dry seeds: molecular mobility within biol...
Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been... -

Inelastic Neutron Spectroscopy Study of Ammonium Borohydride
Ammonium borohydride (ABH2) has been studied as a hydrogen storage material, it stores hydrogen on both cationic and anionic sites and has the largest gravimetric and volumetric... -
Water dynamics in dental zinc cement by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the... -
Water diffusion mechanism in hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonates are highly important in geochemistry and especially in biomineralization. In nature, organisms can form each of the anhydrous polymorphs selectively for... -
Origin of Anomalous Thermal Expansion in Ih phase of Protonated (H2O) and Deu...
Among the all known crystalline ice phases, ice (Ih phase) exhibits anomalous thermal expansion behavior. We propose to measure phonon density of state of protonated ice (H2O)...
