Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid...

Solar cell materials are routinely used in many applications and many studies are ongoing which have three principle objectives. To increase the efficiency, reduce the cost of...

Carbonate liquids are characterised by low temperature and low viscosity and play an important role in molten carbonate fuel cells, battery electrolytes and, surprisingly, in...

In an earlier high-pressure survey of the P,T phase diagram of deuterated ammonium carbonate, we observed changes in the neutron powder diffraction patterns that are consistent...

The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

Cerium dioxide is widely used as carrier on which noble metals are dispersed to act as catalysts for a range of reactions. One of the most widely used applications of this...

During recent years, the study of T=0 quantum phase transitions (QPT), the emergent scaling properties and their profound influence on physical properties at T>0 has...

Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut...

Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the...

Previous NCS measurement on glass biocements revealed that setting is non-monotonic. Recent determinations using VESUVIO (2016-Apr) for Portland cements showed similar...

The theoretical predication of Kitaev spin liquid in honeycomb iridates triggered tremendous interests. We recently discovered a new candidate material, beta-Li2IrO3 with a 3D...

We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to...

Carbon materials with nanopore structures are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is...

This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved...

Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...

This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...
