Morphology-activity relationships in catalysis promoted by MoOx nanoparticles
Metal and metal oxide nanostructures can be prepared in much different morphology (nanowires, nanobelts, nanofibres etc.) which are known to exhibit better adjustable properties... -
Insight into 4-hydroxyacetophenone polymorphs from single crystal neutron dif...
Beside the lattice energy, vibrational entropy has an important contribution to polymorph stability. We have developed a new method (NoMoRe - Normal Mode Refinement), which... -
INS studies of copper sulphate pentahydrate - two birds with one stone.
Copper sulphate pentahydrate is one of the iconic substances of chemistry. The characteristic dark blue colour is the result of the water present: four molecules are coordinated... -
Order-disorder and phase transitions in the LiFeO2 cathode materials
Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures, except that they should be based on... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively... -
Role of acidic silanols and Brønsted acid sites in hierarchically porous SAPO...
The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is conventionally made by the... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a Raney cobalt catalyst: An INS investigation
Building on a successful programme investigating aspects of iron based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts, it is opportune to extend that work to include Co FTS... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in... -
Anomalous spin diffusion in 2D percolating magnet
This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a... -
Molecular dynamics and melting in CH3NH3PbCl3:
The organic-inorganic perovskites (CH3NH3Pb(Br,Cl,I)3) have been identified as efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations have suggested that the low energy... -

Investigation of the interfacial spin texture in ferromagnetically doped topo...
We propose to make use of neutron wave guiding effects to enhance interfacial sensitivity and study the spin texture of individual interfaces between ferromagnetically doped... -
Analysing intermediates of a CO2 insertion reaction using simultaneous operan...
Atmospheric levels of CO2 are increasing at uncontrolled levels and as such methods of CO2 utilisation are being researched. A key reaction for this purpose is the coupling of... -
Intra-block magnetic excitations in KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2
KFe0.8Ag1.2Te2 is made of 2x2 squares of Fe atoms, upon lowering temperature the system spontaneously undergoes a transition that breaks the fourfold rotational symmetry. A... -
Further investigation of the methanol to gasoline reaction over ZSM-5 using INS
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... -
INS STUDY OF BIOCHAR AS SOLID ACID CATALYSTS
Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We... -

Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadate Fe2V2O7
We have synthesized and characterized a new member, namely Fe2V2O7 in the family of 3d transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M =Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). M2V2O7 exist with a great... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this...
