Structural Investigations of Nickel-Substituted Bornite
We wish to collect powder neutron diffraction data on modified bornites, Cu5Fe1-xNixS4 (0<x<0.1) to study the impact of nickel substitution on the distribution of cations... -
Investigating the Dissolution Mechanism of Cellulose in Ionic Liquids
Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable natural resources on Earth, and it has been estimated that in the order of 400,000 tonnes/year of paper and additional 100,000... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising... -
Local structure of candidate hybrid improper ferroelectrics
Ferroelectrics are materials that exhibit a switcheable polarisation, i.e. a net displacement of positively charged cations relative to anions that is reversible. In traditional... -
How complex is complex: an ALC study of a 10-mer helical peptide chain
There have been ALC studies on the interaction of muons with native proteins, but little systematic work that contributes understanding of how spectroscopic information alters... -

Co-surfactancy of oil-soluble and water-soluble surfactants in emulsion stabi...
The structures of emulsions formed from mixed oil-soluble and water-soluble amphiphiles (respectively derivatives of polyisobutylene, PIBSA, and polyacrylamide, PAM) will be... -
SESANS of beetle scales and butterfly wings
Neutron scattering and in particular SESANS is able to give us excellent ensemble averaging of the optical properties of materials which exhibit structural colour. We plan to... -
Two-Dimensional Triangular Mott Insulator
The 1T polytype of the transition-metal dichalchogenide TaS2 is a system with a very rich phase diagram. Upon cooling down, the crystal goes through a series of charge density... -
Tunable algebraic correlations and Kasteleyn transition in kagome ice
We propose to continue our search for the Kasteleyn transition in the kagome ice phase of the spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. The experiment requires the applied magnetic field to be... -
A structural study of the unusual high-pressure magnetic and superconducting ...
FeSe is structurally the simplest iron-based superconductor but one of the most intriguing electronically, with extreme tunability in its electronic and superconducting... -
RF-muSR in the gas phase: the muoniated ethyl radical
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is an exceptional technique for studying free radicals, but it has not been applied to study radicals in the gas phase. In a previous... -
Local structure studies of mellilite oxide ion conductors
The development of new interstitial oxide conductors with less restrictive structural constraintsrequires understanding of the mechanisms allowing both incorporation and... -
In situ neutron diffraction study of Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62
Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62 is a promising cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. It shows metallic behaviour above 600K and molecular dynamics simulations have concluded that... -
Investigation of magnetic defects in exfoliated graphite
Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications.... -
Detailed Structural Characterisation of Functional Spinel Materials
We propose to use neutron scattering to examine the complex structures of some new mixed oxide materials that have applications in catalysis and for their magnetic properties.... -
The structure of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solution: towards better drug sol...
The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and... -
Total scattering measurement of EMT framework zeolite: does it obey Lowenstei...
Zeolites are meso- and nano-porous framework materials with applications in many industries. The zeolite framework consists of corner-sharing tetrahedral units. The catalytic... -
PROBING THE NEAR AND INTERMEDIATE RANGE NANOSTRUCTURE OF DNA/PEPTIDE HYDROGELS
The near- and intermediate-range order within peptide and peptide/DNA hydrogels will be probed across the q range available on NIMROD. Samples will be prepared in H2O/D2O... -
In-situ neutron diffraction investigation of Ni-based batteries
Ni-based secondary batteries are currently used in many applications, however, the structural changes at the electrodes are not fully characterized and neutron diffraction is a...
