In the current description of any molecular system based on the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian accounting only for the electromagnetic forces, the structural properties...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

The Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) can be described as a 2D square lattice built up from a network of dimers disposed orthogonally and has been observed in SrCu2(BO2)3....

This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding how collagen based polypeptides interact with ionic surfactants using SANS. Both SDS and C12TAB will be...

Despite the wide practical interest in particulate colloids there have been few studies that exploit the advantages of reflection and neutron scattering to study adsorption of...

CuFe1-xCrO2 has potential applications as an SOFC cathode material. It exhibits and interesting transformation on oxidation. This is a follow on from our recent HRPD experiment...

The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of...

It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =...

Mixtures of protic ionic liquids (PIL) and polar, protic molecular liquids (MLs) are attracting great attention. Due to the ionic nature of PILs and the role of hydrogen bonding...

Research on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDS) type-II Weyl semimetal MoTe2, is of particular interest because of their extreme magnetoresistance and...

We propose the first high P/T neutron diffraction measurements on goethite (FeOOH), both the ambient pressure alpha- as well as the high-pressure epsilon-phase, in the P/T range...

We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

KTiOPO4 (KTP) is a well known non-linear optical material. Its crystal structure has highly asymmetric Ti-O bonds, a rigid TiO6-PO4 lattice and K cations trapped in cages. The...

We propose to analyse the crystal structures of a new quantum (S=1/2) geometrically frustrated material based on the mineral averievite and its Zn-doped variants...

We propose an experiment to measure the magnetic structures of a new type of compounds consisting of one-dimensional spin chains along with inter-chain spin frustrations. These...

Diffraction from hydrogenous materials is complicated by the large incoherent scattering contribution from hydrogen. For many materials the solution is to deuterate before...

We wish to determine the effect of various stabilisers on anisotropic pigment particles that are being developed for use in liquid crystal composites. We will investigate the...

Apatite-type lanthanide silicates/germanates have been attracting considerable interest as a new class of oxide ion conductors. The presence of interstitial oxide ions is...
