High voltage spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is considered as one of the most promising cathode materials for Li- ion batteries. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 can adopt two different cubic cells: an...

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have attracted broad attention for various applications because they are relatively cheap, environmentally friendly and can easily be scaled-up....

In the search for suitable materials for applications in energy storage, properties such as capacity and cycling stability are of great importance in pushing battery technology...

We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste...

Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of...

Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crysta. There are outstanding...

Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...

The recently discovered quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) superconductor A2Cr3As3 (A=K, Rb, and Cs with TC ≈ 6.1 K, 4.8 K, and 2.2 K, respectively) has intrigued intensive...

This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for...

Citric acid is not only a molecule of fundamental importance for cell respiration but also used in multiple and varied industrial applications including food industry and...

Materials that show oxide-ion mobility (solid electrolytes) and/or reversible uptake and release of oxygen (oxygen storage materials) have important uses in applications...

Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing...

This application focuses on the study of two important lithium ion battery materials. We intend to use our newly developed cell design which allows for the cycling of battery...

PbCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor interaction couples the magnetic ions into...

Lu and Ho counterparts of RE3Fe5O12 will be an appropriate platform to reveal the complexmagnetic ground state of rare earth iron garnets with common formula RE3Fe5O12. Lu3+...

The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 3 important energetic materials - FOX-7, CL-20, and ADN. These experiments are expected...

Raffinose is a trisaccharide with a galactose molecule attached to the glucose side of a sucrose moiety. The high similarity with sucrose implies that the presence of raffinose...

Skyrmions are chiral magnetic spin textures that exist in a variety of different magnetic materials. Skyrmions are usually stabilized in noncentrosymmetric chiral materials by...

This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved...

Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present throughout all of the lower mantle:...
