High pressure for liquids project on SANDALS
This beamtime request is part of a long term project based on the liquids diffractometer SANDALS and aimed at developing the use of Paris-Edinburgh press for liquids and in... -
Gas-phase oxidation of insoluble monolayer at air-water interface with no equ...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Mapping the magnon spectra in the skyrmion phase of MnSi
In cubic B20 structures, skyrmions, topologically-protected three-dimensional spin textures, arise from competition of the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and the... -

Understanding Molecular Host-Guest Interactions in Functionalised Metal-Organ...
We aim to perform inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements at the TOSCA spectrometer to study the vibrational behaviour of designer Guest@MOF composite systems (e.g.... -
In-situ studies of alkaline earth nitride deuterides
Heavy alkaline earth nitride hydrides (AE2NH, with AE = Ca and Ba) are of interest due to their potential suitability as electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical... -
Structures of metastable water ice XVII with different guests molecules
Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice... -
Symmetry and Size Effects in the Dynamics of Adsorbed PAHs: Fluoranthene on G...
Self-assembled monolayers are employed in the fabrication of organic transistors and organic-electronic devices. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of organic... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these... -
Structural determination of non-stoichiomentric phases Li2+yND for 0<y<1
In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of... -
Looking at the motion associated with the cation and their freezing in TEA(TC...
The study of organic based materials is a popular topic and spans both chemistry and physics and presents some significant advantages. Of interest within this proposal is the... -
An Investigation of Magnetic Transitions in NdMn1-xCoxAsO0.95F0.05 (x = 0.03,...
We have recently reported colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in NdMnAsO0.95F0.05. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a strongly correlated antiferromagnetic... -
Structure and thermal expansion of a new polymorph of pentahydrite (MgSO4·5H2O)
In our high-pressure studies of candidate outer solar system minerals using PEARL, we have found that MgSO4.7H2O (epsomite) decomposes to a lower hydrate mixed with water ice.... -
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... -

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of... -
Collective quantum dynamics in Ne-D2 liquid mixtures
A series of recent incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (INS) experiments on low-temperature D2+H2 and Ne+H2 mixtures have revealed pronounced deviations from the Gaussian... -
Magnetic frustration induced by applied magnetic fields in CeRhIn5
Quantum critical points (QCPs) have attracted continuous scientific interest due to the emergent phenomena observed in their vicinity, including unconventional superconductivity... -
The topotactic reduction and anion exchange of complex oxy-halides
The reaction of LiH with the oxy-chloride Sr3Fe2O5Cl2 initially leads to the topotactic deintercalation of oxide ions and the formation of Sr3Fe2O4Cl2 containing sheets of... -
Investigating the formation of novel mixed amide-imide complexes and understa...
Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of... -
Stroboscopic Neutron and X-ray mapping of strain fields in dynamically loaded...
Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...
