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... -
Structures of New Doped RuO2 Rutiles
We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially... -
Total Neutron Scattering Measurements of Supercritical CO2 Injection in Carbo...
Carbon dioxide is a commonly used fluid in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CO2 EOR process can contribute to the minimisation of the impact of greenhouse gas emission by keeping... -
Evaluation of Residual Strains Produced by Laser Shock Processing for Low Pre...
The use of steam turbines is the primary method of power extraction for most power plants. The corrosion resistant steel blades bear significant centrifugal loads in a wet steam... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of Lithium Battery Materials
This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have... -
Nature of the ground state of Dy2Ti2O7 spin ice
Spin ice (SI) is a state of matter characterized by a residual (Pauling) entropy and unusual correlations. The huge interest in SI materials from the magnetism community stems... -
Verification of Local Ordering in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
High pressure for liquids project on SANDALS
This beamtime request is part of a long term project based on the liquids diffractometer SANDALS and aimed at developing the use of Paris-Edinburgh press for liquids and in... -
The local structure in high-entropy alloy deuterides probed by neutron total ...
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) typically contain four or more principle elements in approximately equimolar amounts. It was recently discovered by the co-proposer that a... -
As2Ch3 glasses: Understanding the relationship between glass structure and no...
We wish to study a series of glasses of composition As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se and Te) to investigate the effect of varying the chalcogen type on the non-linear optical (NLO) behaviour... -
Preferential Conduction Pathways in Sodium Conducting Glasses for Battery App...
The ionic conductivity of sodium chalcogenide or chalcohalide glasses is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of oxide glasses and comparable with lithium ionic... -
Further analysis of Indo-Persian sword blades from the Wallace Collection
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains nearly one thousand items and is one of the most... -
Local structure study of Cr-Fe alloys with enhanced magnetovolume effect
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect in... -
Quantitative characterization of carbon steel reference samples: creation of ...
The use of quantitative analytical techniques to investigate the properties of steel artefacts is of great importance both in modern and historical metallurgy. A promising... -
Competition between C-H---O hydrogen bonds and C=O----Br halogen bonds
Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of... -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these... -
