Structural studies of thermochemical and phase-change naterials for heat storage
This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of... -
Pressure dependence of the crystal structure of the strongly correlated bilay...
Ruthenium-oxides are important strongly correlated electron systems: the bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 shows field-induced electronic order, while single-layer Sr2RuO4 is an exotic... -

Pressure-induced O(2) quantum phase transition in a quantum antiferromagnet
Quantum phase transitions (QPT) continue to attract the attention of experimentalists and theorists alike. Experiments on quantum magnets have been crucial to understand their... -
Mineralogical investigation of archeological ceramic fragments from Modena (I...
We propose to investigate on INES the mineralogical composition of a collection of ceramic fragments from three different archeological sites in the Modena area (Italy). These... -
Hydrogen from ammonia using lithium imide metal nitride composites
Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to... -
Building a comprehensive understanding of cation ordering in the commercial c...
The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction Measur...
Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend... -
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... -
Search for the spin liquid phase in terbium gallium garnet.
Usually, magnetic materials can be understood by imagining them as orderly rows of communicating, atomic-sized bar magnets (or "spins") which organize themselves into a... -
Higher resolution inspection of the hydrocarbon pool connected with the metha...
The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -

Transformations in B2O3 glass under pressure
B2O3 is a prototypical glass forming oxide material and is an essential component in many industrial glasses. Unlike SiO2 and GeO2 its structure under ambient conditions is not... -
The high pressure structure of cobalt-bearing silicate glasses
The aim of this proposal is to examine the pressure induced changes in the structure of two cobalt-bearing silicate glasses. Transition metals such as cobalt can adopt different... -
Density-driven structural transformations in boro-germanate glass
The resistance of glass to fracture is crucial for its use as a structural material in fields ranging from engineering to architecture. Here, B2O3 can play a crucial role in... -
Kinetics of the ordering transition in ice Ih; crystal structure and thermal ...
Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of... -
Proton diffusion in lithium imide: a quasi-elastic neutron scattering study
Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the... -
Characterising new high-pressure phases of ammonia monohydrate
Over the past two years I have carried out high-pressure surveys of the ammonia monohydrate (AMH) phase diagram using a Paris-Edinburgh press mounted on the D20 beam-line at the... -
Local structure and dynamics in metal-imidazolate frameworks
This proposal aims to study local structure and dynamics in two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): namely, zinc imidazolate and cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (IM) is a small, flat...
