Oxygen Vacancy Clusters in Pure and Doped CeO2-d
Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic... -
INS studies of the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using supported AuPd nanoparti...
This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003 and RB1110113. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using... -
Effect of pH on the shape of oil-in-water microemulsions formed by a zwitteri...
Despite interest in microemulsions as drug delivery vehicles, there is a lack of structural understanding to justify the formulations used. The present study examines the use of... -
Structures of New Ternary Iridates Prepared using Hydrothermal Chemistry
We propose to measure powder neutron diffraction data from some new iridium oxides prepared using mild hydrothermal reaction conditions. Although we have some structural models... -

Investigation of spin-glass behaviour in the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using muSR
Recently we have investigated the cubic compound PrRhSn3 using the dc and ac susceptibilities and the heat capacity. We found an evidence for the cluster-glass behavior with a... -
Anomalous Layer at a Nematic-Air Interface using Thin Films
The aim is to establish the nature of the surface layer of 8CB at the nematic-air interface by measuring neutron reflection from the n=8, 10 and 12 homologues of the nCB series... -
Microdomains in model membranes using contrast variation SANS
In the present proposal small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of... -
Recovery and characterisation of high-pressure phases in the systems H2O ¿ NH...
The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using... -
High resolution INS spectra of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers formed on novel m...
For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of new high specification methane reforming catalysts. The enhanced performance of these catalysts... -
Curvature effects in polyelectrolyte-surfactant solution interactions
This proposal continues our investigations into polyelectrolyte-surfactant solutions which form thin films at the air-solution interface. Our previous work has investigated the... -
Investigation of carrier transport in the organic semiconductor 8-hydroxy-qui...
Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the... -
Copy of: Neutron Diffraction study of the monolayer structures of cyclohexane...
Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of... -
Structure of hot dense liquid carbon dioxide
We propose to study the structure of liquid CO2 by neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperatures to 6 GPa / 800 K. Carbon dioxide belongs to the most fundamental... -
Probing phase transitions in vanadium oxide polymorphs using muons
Vanadium oxides have attracted considerable attention, not only due to their potential technological applications, but also because of the rich variety of structures and... -
Evolution of raft formation over time using contrast variation SANS
Small angle neutron scattering will be used in combination with contrast variation as a non-invasive method to detect the presence and size formation of lipid microdomains or...
