The structure of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of... -
High-pressure powder neutron diffraction study in Pd2MnIn
Intermetallic ternary full Heuslers have potential spintronic applications, due to a possible link between the mechanisms for magnetism and half-metallicity in these systems.... -
Structure, incompressibility and thermal expansion of ammonia dihydrate II
The structure and properties of the high-pressure phase of ammonia dihydrate, ADH-II, have been challenging to determine. However, the structure has been solved recently by... -
Cavitation processes in gas desorption experiments.
The aim of the experiment is to improve understanding of the onset of the cavitation process in desorption, in order to, ultimately, better understand adsorbate behaviour and... -
Understanding negative compressibility in KMn[Ag(CN)2]3
Negative linear compressibility (NLC) is the phenomenon whereby at least one of the linear dimensions of a material actually expand under hydrostatic pressure. It is only... -
Anomalous lattice dynamics of the elemental superconductor niobium
Phonon lifetimes in BCS superconductors provide information on the details of the electron-phonon coupling mechanism. In 2008 high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering... -
Fragile to strong transition in concentrated sorbitol-water solutions
In a recent paper [J. Phys. Chem. B, 2016, 120 (29), pp 72897296] we have put forward the idea that water in concentrated (70 wt%) sorbitol-water solutions becomes confined by... -
Solution Study of the Interaction of Salt Species at Varying Concentrations
6 days on Nimrod are requested to collect neutron total scattering data of 1M, 2M and 3M solutions of a α,ω-dicarboxylic acid, glutaric acid, and 2-methylimidazole... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous FePO4 and LiFePO4
We are convinced that a careful study of the atomic structure of a-FePO4 would provide very interesting insights into several phosphate systems, including phosphate glass... -
Free volume calibration of Polystyrene (PS) bulk above and below its glass tr...
Free volume theory has successfully predicted and described all of the liquid-to-solid transitions in hard sphere system. However, in polymer system, the exact molecular picture... -
Is H-bonding the source of large heats of fusion in guanidinium based thermal...
The organic salt guanidinium mesylate [Gdm][CH3SO3] is a promising phase change material for thermal energy storage applications. It has melting point Tm = 208 °C, and... -
Anomalous elasticity in negative thermal expansion materials
Recent experimental work on the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)2 has shown that the elastic stiffness is anomalously reduced on compression. That is, if B is the bulk... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
A broad fundamental understanding of the design and properties of ionic liquids underpins their developing and future applications, which include accessing cellulosic polymers... -

Association and liquid structure of zwitterionic salts-water mixtures
Anti-fouling surfaces are a critical requirement for a wide range of biomedical applications, such as medical implants and biosensors. Poly(ethylene glycol) is widely used... -
structure of surfactant-free microemulsion as the L-L equilibirum line is app...
A surfactant-free microemulsion is ternary system consisting of two completely miscible molecular liquids and a third one that is only highly soluble in or miscible with one of... -
Spin anisotropy in the isovalent doped iron pnictides Ba0.9Sr0.1Fe2As2
Understanding the electronic anisotropic state at a temperature associated with the nematic phase is unresolved problems in iron pnictides. Although many experiments focus on... -
A joint experimental and theoretical study of supercritical mixtures
In our daily life, we are aware that liquid and its vapour can coexist. As we increase the temperature and pressure, however, there is a point called the critical point where... -
Pressure dependence on the isomorphic phase transition in KOs2O6
We are requesting 5 days of beamtime on HRPD to measure powder diffraction patterns of KOs2O6 under He gas high pressure up to 150 MPa. KOs2O6 exhibits a novel phase transition... -
Interaction of the counteracting osmolytes TMAO and urea in aqueous solutions
TMAO is a naturally occurring protecting osmolyte which stabilizes proteins and influences intermolecular interactions. Like some other osmolytes it counteracts the effects of...
