Confined water in a geo-polymer system
The main objective of this proposal is to investigate the dynamics of ultra-confined water in the slits pores of geological cavities (mineral tobermorite). This system provides... -
In-Situ Studies of Electrochemically Enhanced Performance in Perovskite Elect...
Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when... -
IINS of small proteins - extending the limits.
We have previously studied proteins with IINS, as well as their building blocks (20 different amino acids). The latter studies of amino acids yielded sharp vibrational peaks... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Understanding the effect of catalyst ageing on small molecule diffusion in NO...
We aim to study using QENS the effect of catalyst ageing small molecule (water) mobility in CHA zeolite catalysts used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process for... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman studies of lysozyme
The proposers have obtained a dispersive Raman spectrometer that is fibre optically coupled to a custom centrestick that will allow simultaneous Raman and neutron measurements.... -
Neutron reflection study of effects of non-ionic alkyl ethoxylates on model w...
We propose to use NR to study the structural features of the model wheat wax films formulated from the known main components of long chain primary alcohols and an ester. By... -
Hydration and sweetness of synthetic sweeteners
Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with... -
In situ NPD investigation of double perovskite manganites in wet hydrogen atm...
The aim of the experiment is to investigate by means of in situ NPD the structural behavior of two new Mn-rich double perovskites compounds, NdBaCo1.5Mn0.5O5+d and NdBaMn2O5+d... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these... -
In situ hydration study of the novel ionic conductor Ba7MoNb4O20
Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently... -
In-situ neutron diffraction studies on proton conducting oxides (CaxLa1-x) ~6...
Rare-earth tungstates have recently attracted significant attention due to its high-temperature proton or mixed proton-electron conductivity. The proton conductivity in La6WO12... -
GISANS from photoconductive hydrogel electrodes.
The sun is an abundant and cheap source of energy, harnessing it as storable fuel has the potential for a large societal impact. Organic photoelectrodes (PEs) formed from low... -
Determining the interaction between water and carbon dioxide in smectite clay...
Interactions between CO2 and clay have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in caprock... -
HERBICIDE LIFETIMES IN SOILS
The herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione have been observed to have short half-lives in soil. Furthermore, their partition coefficients (Kd and Koc) suggest limited soil... -
Determining the interaction between water and carbon dioxide in smectite clay...
Interactions between CO2 and clay minerals have attracted interest in the scientific community recently. This is partly motivated by the presence of large amounts of clays in... -
An attempt to measure sorption through strain induced deformation
Zeolite catalysts are highly porous materials that take up gases and vapours into their pores. Accommodating the guest molecule inside the host framework leads to distortion... -
87Sr/86Sr and Sr/Ca measured in the otoliths of catfish (Carlarius parkii and...
Modern sub-surface water samples and the otoliths of catfish (Carlarius parkii and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) collected from the estuaries of the Gambia River (The Gambia),... -
Stable isotope analysis of jellyfish in Kiel Fjord, Western Baltic Sea during...
A temporal change in stable isotope (SI) composition of jellyfish in the Kiel Fjord, Western Baltic Sea, was documented by analyzing delta13C, delta15N and delta34S of bell... -
Resistivity and permeability of core samples from the Samail ophiolite, Oman ...
This dataset presents analyses of resistivity and permeability of core samples collected by the Oman drilling project (Samail ophiolite). Resistivity was measured using...
