Adsorption of concentrated Aerosol-OT to Sapphire ¿ the effect of divalent sa...
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... -
Understanding Amphiphilic Self-Assembly in and by Protic Ionic Liquids
The goal of this project is to understand the intermolecular forces that promote amphiphile self assembly in ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), a room temperature ionic liquid (IL).... -
Comparing hydrogen densification in microporous carbons with slit and cylindr...
Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. In this proposal, we seek to... -
Neutron scattering investigation of spin-dynamics in the S= 1/2 trimer chain ...
Spin-trimer chain systems are of current interest due to unconventional properties arising from the strong quantum fluctuations and topology, such as, quantum phenomenon of... -
Phase transitions in RbBi2Ti2NbO10
Ferroelectric materials, in which the polarization may be switched, are an important class of compounds due to their academic and technological relevance. The mechanisms that... -
Local structure of ortho-terphenyl glass
Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by... -
Nearly ferromagnetic fluctuations in CeRhSi3? A high resolution study at lo...
The proposal requests time on OSIRIS to measure the low-energy magnetic fluctuations in CeRhSi3. This compound is a noncentrosymmetric superconductor under pressures of ~10... -
In-situ study of nickel recrystallization using neutron diffraction
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... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks... -
Magnetic Excitations in the Shastry-Sutherland magnet; Neodymium Tetraboride
We are proposing to investigate the magnetic excitations of NdB4 in zero field using LET. NdB4 crystallises into tetragonal structure where the Nd ions forms layers which map to... -
High Pressure Neutron Diffraction of Croconic Acid
Croconic acid (Cacid) possesses a well-defined hysteresis in polarization at room temp and the highest spontaneous polarization observed in organic ferroelectrics to date. The... -
Investigation of Atomic Disorder Effects in Ti1-xZrxNiSn
We propose to investigate the arrangement of Ti, Zr, Ni and Sn over the 4 available atomic sites in the half-Heusler structure for the title series. This will help rationalise... -
Monitoring Packing Changes in Magnetic Halogenated Phthalocyanine Molecules
The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule... -
Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
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... -
Investigating the ammoniation of light metal hydrides for hydrogen storage ap...
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... -
High-pressure studies of energetic co-crystals
This proposal will explore the effects of elevated pressures and temperatures on the structures of two energetic co-crystals - [CL-20:TNT] and nitroguanidine:nitropyridone.... -
The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
Evidence for long-range order in HoTbTi2O7
Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the... -

Probing the [FeFe]-hydrogenase subsite using muon spectroscopy
Solid state repolarisation measurements of [Fe2(µ-pdt)(CO)4(PMe3)2] (RB 1010177) showed a weak recovery at ca.15G, a strong recovery at ca.100G and what was thought to be a weak...
