The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

AOT is also known to be very sensitive to the concentration and nature of counter-ions. When adding a sufficient amount of divalent salt to an AOT solution, a very strong Bragg...

Oxide ion conductors are researched as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. Yttria-stabilized zirconia is the currently used electrolyte in SOFCs, leading to high operating...

We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...

Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive...

The Pitt Rivers is Oxford University¿s museum of anthropology and world archaeology. The Japanese material includes a large number of items of metalwork. Amongst these, the...

This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW), a porous material that can be formed by vapour-depositing water onto a cold...

Of concern to the bioprocessing industry is the manner in which polysorbates included in solution formulations of antibodies affect the kinetics and equilibrium state of...

The delafossite compounds PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 show extremely high electrical conductivity at low temperatures. In this system Pt,Pd layers with triangular arrangement are...

The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will...

We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless...

Topological insulators are currently a subject of intense research and potential for spin-electronic devices. The breaking of gauge symmetry or time reversal symmetry(TRS) is a...

Organic-inorganic perovskites have recently been shown to be potentially efficient and inexpensive photovoltaics. These materials undergo a series of structural transitions and...

We have recently characterised a surface wetting transition for a low molecular weight oligomer in a high molecular weight rubbery polymer. Although weak surface segregation of...

Hydrogen storage materials with a low working temperature are strongly required for the application of the next generation on-board hydrogen storage system. Among several...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and...

Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to...

We propose to map out magnetic and lattice excitations in compounds Mn(5-x)Fe(x)Si3.Varying the Fe content, the system shows a tunable magneto-caloric effect, both in the...

Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its...

The metal formate perovskites have structural chemistry as diverse as their inorganic analogues; yet substantial areas of their phase diagrams, including phases with potentially...
