Vacancy clusters and local magnetic structure of wüstite, Fe(1-x)O
The nature and distribution of vacancy defects in wüstite, Fe(1-x)O, is an important problem because the structural and dynamical properties of the mineral - both of which are... -
Temperature dependence of spin dynamics near quantum criticality in an Ising ...
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the interplay of thermal and quantum fluctuations near zero-temperature quantum phase transitions. Here we apply for a... -
Pressure-induced changes in intermediate range order in the candidate polyamo...
This proposal is a continued exploration of the non-recoverable changes that have been reported in the structure of vitreous SiO2 when compressed. This proposed experiment will... -
Soft Modes in the Ferroelectric Semiconductor SbSI
Antimony sulfo-iodide (SbSI) exhibits strongly-coupled photoconductive, semiconducting, and ferroelectric properties. Until the discovery of the lead-oxide ferroelectric relaxor... -
The role of step-size on the pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
bismuth ferrite (BFO) remains the most studied multiferroic as a result of room temperature electric and magnetic ordering. However, real world applications are limited due to... -
Can SANS confirm whether dimensions from microscopy of dried gels are represe...
Characterisation of structures formed within hydrogels is an important part of understanding their properties and how they can be used in real world applications. The real space... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Investigation into the Effect of Heating Rates on Recrystallisation Mechanism...
Electrical steels (ES) used in motors and transformers. The major challenge is to optimise themagnetic property of ES to reduce energy waste during service. The crystallographic... -
NR study of surface adsorption of antibodies with and without non-ionic surfa...
Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in abinary mixture. However, we show in this work... -
Demystifying the Haupt effect: the need for neutron scattering
In 1972, Haupt observed a giant enhancement of proton polarisation in NMR experiments on crystalline g-picoline. Key to this discovery was the implementation of quick... -
High pressure structural studies of halogen bonded systems
We propose a high-pressure neutron powder diffraction study of three halogen-bonded complexes, namely trimethylamine:ICl, 1,4-dioxane:(IBr)2 and pyridine:IBr. These are some of... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Analysis of Celtic coins from northern Italy
The main purpose of the experiment is to analyze structural properties and composition of different series of Celtic drachmas (mainly from Torino Antiquities Museums). We would... -

Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
Mechanism of network collapse in strong network glass forming systems
The object of this proposal is to investigate the mechanism of network collapse in the ¿strong¿ network glass forming system GeO2 in the pressure range between 9 and 16 GPa... -
Bulk Texture Analysis of Hot Forged β Titanium alloy
High strength to density ratio, excellent hardenability, hot deformability and better fatigue properties are the main attractive characteristics of β-Titanium alloys. The phase... -
PDF study of the effect of synthesis conditions on the local structure of har...
Hard carbons are amongst the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, but their charge storage mechanisms are still poorly understood. Difficulties in... -
Effect of Composition on Local Environment of Sulphate in Silicate Glasses
We will study the effects of changes in composition and structure of alkali silicate and alkali-alkaline earth silicate glasses on its sulphate incorporation capacities. Total... -
Variable temperature studies and local structure analyses of LiFe1-xMnxPO4 na...
In order to probe Li content, cation distribution and defects in a series of LiFe1-xMnxPO4 nanoparticles, we propose the use of neutron powder diffraction and pair distribution...
