The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using...

The wetting of solid surfaces by gases and liquids is both fundamentally and technologically important especially in the areas of energy storage and conversion, e.g. catalysis....

Development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine and agriculture, and is critical to the conservation of endangered species that currently cannot...

With the degenerate ground states by the competition between the interacting energies and geometrical properties of the crystal lattice at a specific given site, the...

In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,...

Magnetic molecular framework materials, where the magnetic metal centres are linked together by molecules rather than single atoms, are a very exciting class of materials, as...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

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...

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...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

Materials with the perovskite crystal structure are ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Despite being known for several years, the quadruple perovskites, which afford...

Ag3LiRu2O6 is a honeycomb transition metal oxide compound that is remarkable for the complete absence of long range spin order despite a strong magnetic susceptibility of ~2.5...

Understanding the electronic anisotropic state at a temperature associated with the nematic phase is unresolved problems in iron pnictides. Although many experiments focus on...

In our daily life, we are aware that liquid and its vapour can coexist. As we increase the temperature and pressure, however, there is a point called the critical point where...

In the last 25 years the highest blocking temperature TB achieved for the best performing molecular nanomagnets has only reached few K. The situation has recently changed...

This proposal aims to use small angle neutron scattering for characterization of hydrogen adsorption (including the provision of a quantitative value for the absolute hydrogen...

The borocarbides PrPt2B2C and PrPd2B2C forming in the tetragonal structure do not show any long range magnetic order down to 0.5 K. PrPt2B2C shows a superconducting transition...

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...

Within the framework of multifunctional materials showing the presence of both magnetic and electrical properties, the lead¿based double perovskites Pb2BB¿O6 are recognized as...

As part of a UK Catalysis Hub initiative in Catalyst Design involving a team of academic and industrial researchers, the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over zeolite catalysts is...
