Molecular Mechanisms of Enhanced Thermal Conductivity in Copper-based Nanofluids
The combination of the transport properties of liquids with the high thermal conductivity of metals is a promising way of improving heat transfer efficiency and thus reduce... -
The dynamics of water and terephthalate in layered double hydroxide clay
In this proposal we would like to study the dynamics of interlayer species in hydrotalcite clay: (a) water and (b) terephthalate anions. In the case of water, the aim is to... -
Quantum dynamics in a J_eff=1/2 isotropic triangular-lattice antiferromagnet
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the spin dynamics of strongly-frustrated quantum antiferromagnets. A canonical model system is the spin-1/2 triangular... -

Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped... -
A Structural Study of Tungsten Tellurite Glasses
Tungsten Tellurites are being used to make optical fibres that transmit light into the mid infra red. However, not much is know about the structure of these glasses. We wish to... -

The aim of the present beam-time request is to perform a direct measurement of the total muonium emission rate from silica aeeogel to vacuum including the region very close to... -
In-situ Hydrogenation of Calcium Nitride
Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental... -
Effect of Pressure on the Structure and Dynamics of Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is... -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Structural aspects of conductivity behaviour in transition metal phosphate gl...
Phosphate glasses containing transition metal oxides, such as MoO3 and WO3, are of interest for various applications making use of their electrical properties. MoO3 and WO3 are... -
Identifying the muon site in fluorine containing compounds
Fluorides form model systems with which we can test ideas about muon sites. We therefore propose a series of short experiments on well-defined fluoride systems that will be... -
Probing the glass transition in polymers using LF muSR
Nearly all polymers form glasses and the glass transition at temperature Tg dominates many physical properties of polymers that are relevant for their applications. The most... -
In situ studies of mixed-phase oxygen transport membranes
The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen... -
Phase transitions in Sr-doped multiferroic bismuth ferrite
Bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, is a much-studied ceramic showing both dielectric and magnetic ordering at relatively high temperatures. In order to improve its properties there has...
