Are ice particles in the laboratory "good" analogues for collision studies of...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron cm size range, where relative velocities... -
ADVANCED POLYMER MATERIALS FOR ENERGY SECURITY (POLYMAT)
This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of polyethylene from s...
This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved... -
Unraveling the short-range magnetism in intermetallic core-shell nanoparticle...
Magnetic nanoparticles are currently being investigated comprehensively. Our ball-milled TbCu2 nanoparticles show a core-shell structure in which the core orders... -
Structural Investigations of FePt Nanoparticle-Surfactant Systems
This proposal is intended to further the measurements required for the full structural investigation of binary alloy FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and the surrounding surfactant... -
Hydrogenation of Benzene followed by Total Scattering and in situ 13C NMR
Catalysis is defined as the increase of the rate of the reaction or directing the reaction to one of the thermodynamically permitted pathways that lead to different products. It... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Atomic and pore structure of hetero-atom substituted alluminophosphate materials
We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more... -
Investigation of Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C3N4) structure
Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon... -
Spontaneous solvation of graphene from KC24(NH3) and KC8 graphite intercalati...
Liquid phase exfoliation of graphite is a scalable method for the production of graphene with an inbuilt medium for the manipulation of the graphene into applications. Much like... -
Structural insights into crude oil asphaltenes: A multi-parametric SANS/WANS ...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltene molecules are... -
Understanding Amphiphilic Self-Assembly in and by Protic Ionic Liquids
The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL).... -
Water structure in C-A-S-H by neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution:...
The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 57% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class... -

Investigating an Anomaly in Quasielastic Neutron Scattering Measurements
An unexpected result with another neutron scattering technique has lead us to think that a substance we thought was in a pore throughout the experiment has moved into the pore... -
The structure of solvents around 2d graphene oxide nanoparticles
Graphene oxide (GO) is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include... -
Probing nanophase segregation in aqueous solutions
In recent experiments we accidentally observed the onset of nanophase segregation in concentrated LiCl-water solutions by increasing dilution, in the deeply undercooled regime.... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
The structure of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...
