In recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering experiments we have shown that the anharmonic single-particle dynamics of H2 can be measured with high precision in quantum...

We have recently demonstrated that in organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) the additive 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) largely remains in the film after spin-coating acting as a...

Atomistic characterisation of phase transitions in organic materials is important because of the role played by polymorphism in pharmaceuticals and agochemicals. Conventional...

Epsomite is known to undergo a series of phase transitions up to 3 GPa at room temperature, a pressure regime which is of relevance to the interiors of icy planetary bodies,...

Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the manufacture of wootz (the so-called Damascus steel)a high-C% cast steel which was very slowly cooled and very carefully forged so as...

The properties of methane ammonia water mixtures are crucial for models of how the outer planets evolved and yet have not been much studied. This proposal is for beamtime to...

SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ (SCBO) is a very much studied quantum magnet that is most well known for its ground state of coupled singlets and multiple magnetization plateaux. Recently,...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

From the archaeometric point of view, very few studies have been performed on late antiquecopper-alloys, mainly by means of destructive techniques.The present study opens up...

We wish to trace the changes in lattice parameters and atomic coordinates around the first and second order Curie transitions of Fe2P and boron (11B)-doped Fe2P0.95,B0.05...

Crystallisation of membrane proteins as a precursor to high resolution structural studies is a significant research bottleneck. We are investigating alternative methods to...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for the in-situ study of the crystalline phase composition of iron, manganese and ruthenium catalysts for ammonia decomposition. These...

The imidazole ring is important in both biologically important molecules and materials chemistry. That imidazole derivatives can function in such diverse roles is due in part to...

The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases...

Here the use of the IGAN system for in-situ TGA and neutron diffraction is proposed in order to study the de-hydration of four proton conducting materials. The selected...

LiErF4 is an example of an XY dipolar coupled antiferromagnet with planar anisotropy. As such it exhibits a quantum phase transition (QPT) in a small field of 4kOe, which is of...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

The migration of cations with a charge greater than 1 has received very little attention historically, perhaps due to no commercially driven demand for the research as well as...

The pressure-transmitting medium in a high-pressure experiment is usually thought of as an inert medium that allows the sample to be compresses rather than crushed. In organic...
