In-situ Thermoelectric Measurements of Copper Iron Sulphides
Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting thermal energy directly into electrical energy. Large-scale applications of the technology requires materials that are composed... -
Investigating the structure of the pulmonary lung surfactant at the air-water...
The lung surfactant is a film coating the alveolus of the lung. We want to characterize the structure of this film at the air-water interface at a molecular level. This will... -
Sensing SO2 in Robust Porous MOF Materials via Simultaneous Microwave Dielect...
We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data... -
Clarifying the role of acid and base dopants in the hydrogen-ordering phase t...
Using ISIS facilities, our team has discovered three new phases of ice: ices XIII, XIV and XV. These phases form in the presence of small amounts of hydrochloric acid. Yet, the... -
Micro-, Meso-, Macro- Structure and Dynamics of Biocompatible Dental Glass Io...
Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and... -
Effect of Phosphatidylserine lipids on Tissue Factor structure and function i...
Tissue Factor (TF) is the membrane protein responsible for the initiation of the blood coagulation process [1]. In case of a vessel injury, the TF is exposed to the blood stream... -
Simltaneous dielectric spectroscopy and neutron diffraction
We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and... -
Low temperature phases of WO3 a reinvestigation
WO3 is an important technological material with wide usage in gas-sensing devices but its low temperature phases are still mysterious. There are conflicting reports in the... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -

In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Ionic mobility in soggy sand electrolytes
Ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increased interest as electrolytes given their thermal and chemical stability, wide electrochemical windows, and ionic conductivities. However,... -
Evaluating the effect of cyclic plasticity on creep using a novel crystal pla...
In power generation plants, many critical components are subjected to complex tension-compression cyclic loading followed by long-term creep dwells. While uniaxial creep... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Rotational dynamics in the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (NH4)2SO4
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies... -
Night-time oxidation of meat-cooking emissions: kinetics and products of mixe...
We propose to study the two unsaturated surfactant palmitoleic acid (POA) and oleic acid (OA) and three binary mixtures (1:1) stearic acid (SA)/OA, SA/POA and OA/POA exposed to... -
Neutron spectroscopy in mononuclear Ni(II) complexes
Mononuclear Ni(II) complexes can be designed to behave as two-level systems and thus play the role of qbits with eventually large coherence time. The objective of this proposal... -
Inelastic neutron scattering spectra of hydrogen absorbed in palladium-silver...
Pd-Ag alloys find technological applications in H uptake and purification. Among various peculiar properties, their electric resistivity variation as a function of the H loading...
