Na-Dynamics in Solid Ionic Conductors: 11Al2O3-Na2O and Na2Ti3O7
We would measure vibrational spectra as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for beta- alumina (11Al2O3-Na2O) and Na2Ti3O7. The measurement of phonon spectra... -

This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to fully complete the commissioning of a large volume in-situ reaction cell for studying hydrothermal chemical syntheses in... -
Antibody-polysorbate surface interactions
Of concern to the bioprocessing industry is the manner in which polysorbates included in solution formulations of antibodies affect the kinetics and equilibrium state of... -
Phonon density of states in high-conductivity delafossites
The delafossite compounds PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 show extremely high electrical conductivity at low temperatures. In this system Pt,Pd layers with triangular arrangement are... -
In-situ study of nickel recrystallization using neutron diffraction
The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
