Investigation of hydrogen/nickel and hydrogen/cobalt interactions in new meta...
Raney-nickel type catalysts are some of the most versatile technical agents for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Raney-type catalysts based on Fe, Co, Ru and other metals have... -
Night-time oxidation of meat-cooking emissions: kinetics and products of mixe...
We propose to study the two unsaturated surfactant palmitoleic acid (POA) and oleic acid (OA) and three binary mixtures (1:1) stearic acid (SA)/OA, SA/POA and OA/POA exposed to... -
Inelastic neutron scattering spectra of hydrogen absorbed in palladium-silver...
Pd-Ag alloys find technological applications in H uptake and purification. Among various peculiar properties, their electric resistivity variation as a function of the H loading... -
Deuteration-induced phase transition in a multiferroic framework material
The hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are of great interest as functional materials, because they combine the well-established perovskite topology with new physics and... -
A study of the interfacial width and its effects on fundamental solar cell ba...
The aim of our experiment is to understand the link between interfacial width and the photophysics at the interface to the operation of a polymer solar cell. We propose to... -
Neutron reflectivity studies on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) thin films
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) open up new perspectives in the solar cell market. The morphology of the active layer of PSCs plays a crucial role on the corresponding devices... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Understanding Deep Earth Mineralogy: A High P/T study of CaSiO3 Perovskite
CaSiO3 perovskite is the third most abundant mineral in the Earth's lower mantle; it also occurs as a major phase at lower pressures and temperatures in subduction zones, where,... -
Pressure induced softening in ScF3
Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is... -
Apatite-type Oxides for Energy Applications: Symmetry Distortion Mode Analysi...
Apatites are a large group of chemically and structurally flexible functional materials with important applications as solid electrolytes. The majority of known apatite... -
PVT equation of state of D2O ice V
The high-pressure forms of solid water, ice V, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures between 3.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, the properties are... -
The PVT equation of state of D2O ice III / IX
The high-pressure form of solid water, ice III, is the equilibrium phase in contact with liquid water at pressures from about 2.0 - 3.5 kbar. Consequently, its properties are... -

The role of defects in the pressure-induced octahedral tilting in Prussian bl...
We propose a high-pressure study of two Prussian blue analogues, Mn[Co(CN)6]0.67 and MnPt(CN)6. Our high-pressure XRD study shows a phase transition from cubic to rhombohedral... -
Location of Ferromagnetism in Palladium Bionanoparticles using a Novel In Sit...
We propose to develop and carry out a novel in situ SR/electrochemical technique to identify the mechanism underlying ferromagnetism in palladium bionanoparticles. We... -
Quantum renormalisation of spin waves in a square lattice antiferromagnet
The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model in quantum magnetism . This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also... -
Dirac Nodal Line Magnons in a Stacked Honeycomb Magnet
On the basis of exchange couplings obtained from early inelastic neutron measurements, we conjecture that the stacked honeycomb magnet FeTiO3 contains Dirac nodal lines in the...
