Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -
In-situ lattice parameter and misfit analysis of a forged nickel-based supera...
Nickel-based superalloys have excellent high-temperature properties due to the dispersion of stronger precipitates in matrix. The properties are significantly affected by the... -
Structure of Molecular Hydrogen in High Charge Pillared Clays
In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this... -
An in situ study of structural and magnetic order in LaSrCoFeO6-x
LaSrCoFeO6 is a rhombohedral perovskite, and can be reduced to the orthorhombic brownmillerite LaSrCoFeO5 in reducing atmospheres at around 600 deg C. This material is air... -
Neutron inelastic scattering of the possible quantum spin ice state of Nd2Zr2...
Nd2Zr2O7 is a new candidate for quantum spin ice proposed theoretically. It has a well-isolated dipolar-octupolar doublet with Ising anisotropy as the crystal field ground state... -
Sensing SO2 in Robust Porous MOF Materials via Simultaneous Microwave Dielect...
We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data... -
Micro-, Meso-, Macro- Structure and Dynamics of Biocompatible Dental Glass Io...
Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -
Simltaneous dielectric spectroscopy and neutron diffraction
We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -

A High-Pressure Low-Temperature Crystallographic Study of the Pm3m - I4/mcm F...
The perovskite-structured phases and their associated phase transitions remain an enduring topic of study within the solid state sciences due to their importance in both applied... -
Structural analysis of honeycomb iridate alpha-Li2IrO3 under pressure
We propose to perform neutron diffraction measurements on a honeycomb iridium oxide alpha-Li2IrO3 under pressure. Honeycomb iridates have been intensively studied as a possible... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals and salts
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of an energetic co-crystal containing nitroguanidine (NQ)and an energetic salt... -
Non-Fullerene Based Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells
Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have attracted substantial commercial and scientific interest as they provide a pathway to realizing a renewable energy source that is portable...
