LaFeAs1-xPxO has recently been proposed to display unusual properties as a function of P doping with two distinct superconducting (SC) domes separated by a possible AFM phase as...

Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...

The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,...

Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend...

An inelastic X-ray investigation on the collective inelastic dynamics of molten NaCl revealed the remarkable result that the acoustic-like dynamics is similar to the dispersion...

Time of flight neutron diffraction (ToF-ND) is a powerful technique for the characterization of the micro-structural properties of the phases present in the sample. The Rietveld...

The reaction of methanol to form hydrocarbons over zeolite catalysts is an important option for conversion of natural gas or coal to liquid fuels. We have shown previously via...

This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003 and RB1110113. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using...

We propose to measure the one- and multi-magnon excitations in the first realization of a S=1/2 quantum spin ladder in the strong-leg regime. Our material, DIMPY, has very well...

Increased environmental pressures and awareness is promoting a major drive towards an increased use of biosurfactants to produce more biosustainable and biodegradable consumer...

We request three days of beamtime on HRPD to study the crystallographic structures of six compounds containing a (distorted) frustrated antiferromagnetic lattice of Mo5+, 4d1...

We propose a high-pressure neutron powder diffraction study of the crystal structure of deuterated ammonium iodate, ND4IO3, which is known to undergo a ferroelectric phase...

Cell membranes are characterised by complex lipid composition and asymmetric distribution of lipids (lipids facing the outside of the cell are different from the lipids that are...

Hydrophobins, hfb2, are secreted fungal proteins, which are strongly surface active and possess powerful emulsion and foam stabilising properties. Understanding their...

Phenol-water and phenol-ammonia clusters are useful model systems for understanding the types of proton-transfer interactions that occur during photosynthesis in plants and...

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...

We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material...

TOF-Neutron Diffraction experiments conducted on significant archaeological findings from the pre-roman Ligurian settlement of Guardamonte (Monte Vallassa) have shown unusual...

Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the...
