Measuring big molecules on TS2 - a case study
We propose to measure one or two big molecule systems. The aim of the experiment is to enable us to progress with single crystal data analysis using Mantid and also to provide a... -
Ordering phenomena and magnetic phase transitions in Mn2TeO6
Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural... -
Elucidating buried structures using Offspec
This proposal is a continuation proposal (previous RB 1110285) utilising the Offspec instrument and is aimed at further understanding the utility of the spin echo grazing... -
Characterization of P3HT:PCBM blends by SANS measurements
Blends of poly-3-hexyl-thiophene (P3HT) and 6,6-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are the most promising candidates for active layers of plastic solar cells with high... -
The Storage of Ammonia in Framework Structures: Kinetic Investigation of Ammo...
We request 4 days on VESUVIO to study atomic momentum distributions in copper-exchanged Linde Type A (LTA) and Sodalite (SOD) zeolite frameworks, into which ammonia has been... -
Better understanding of self-linking behaviour of smectite clays
This proposed work is aimed at investigating self-linking behaviour of smectite clays in aqueous suspension. The mechanism of the interaction could be understood by applying... -
High Temperature Magnetic Order in Mn(II) Oxides
The Mn(II) phases LaSrMnO3.5 and LaBaMnO3.5 have been prepared by the topotactic reduction of LaSrMnO4 and LaBaMnO4 respectively. Preliminary neutron diffraction data show that... -
Technological study of ancient byzantine 12 Nummi coins Part II
Byzantine bronze coins (6th cent. AD) minted in Alexandria, and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, are studied with focus on technological aspects. For the leaded... -
Polystrene chain conformations in good solvents and electrospun fibres
This proposal is centered on the preparation of nanoscale fibres prepared by electrospinning and is the focus of the final year PhD programme of Saeed Mohan. These experiments... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a high surface area cobalt catalyst: An IN...
In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of... -
Measurement of the neutron cross section of α-alanine and other amino acids f...
The solid state of L-alpha-alanine is routinely used as a dosimeter for X-ray, gamma, and electron radiations. Recently, in the framework of boron neutron capture therapy, it... -
Determination of a reaction area of cathode in a liquid electrolyte by muSR
In order to estimate a reliable reaction area (a_r) between cathode and liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, we wish to propose a muSR experiment on a charged-state cathode... -
Investigation of excitonic physics in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules
The MuSES project currently ongoing in the HiFi spectrometer gives unique opportunity in the field of photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. After two successful... -
INS Study of Cu-based methanol synthesis catalysts
In low-pressure methanol synthesis from fossil synthesis gas, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3-catalysts are successfully used in industrial synthesis at 250°C and 50-100 bar, but the exact... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size.... -

The chemical interaction and confinement effect of molecules in the sol-gel A...
Owing to the separation in the mesoscale and confinement effect of mesostructured pores to the molecule, mesoporous materials have been widely applied as matrices of host-guest... -
Determination of nuclear quantum effects on the hydrogen adsorption in metal-...
Metal-organic frameworks represent one of the most studied options to store hydrogen for clean-energy applications. Nuclear quantum effects, and in particular zero-point...
