INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -
Ageing Effects in Polymer Surfactant Films
We have recently reported a remarkably rich range of surface segregation and self-organisation behaviour for surfactants and plasticisers in PVA film. These experiments are... -
Transition metal carbides via novel, ultrafast microwave synthesis; Reaction ...
We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions... -
IINS study of the terminating protons in the basic structural units of graphi...
Carbon blacks can be graphitised to different degrees, whereas glassy (vitreous) carbons, which are used as electrode material, in electronics and construction, and as... -
Investigation of the role of functionalization in the catalytic activity of A...
In the last few years functionalised carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have shown promising results in the area of heterogeneous catalysis due to the ability to tune the... -
Estimating carbon contents in historical European blades through neutron diff...
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades. Japanese sword... -
Understanding absorption of the energetic compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-on...
Insensitive munitions (IM) are munitions that will not react violently to accidental insult, thus they are relatively safe to handle and store. Ongoing research into IM has led... -
Hydrogen diffusion in novel porous carbon materials for fuel cells
The performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC) is strongly dependent on the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the electron mobility, which in turn is strongly influenced... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and... -
Characterisation of intermediates in the production of eta-caprolactam
The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is made by the Beckmann rearrangement... -
Operando Analysis of Lithium/Sulfur Cells with SANS and deuterated solvents
Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong... -
Tuning the Magnetic Properties of γ-Fe2O3 Fe3O4 Thin Films for Atom Tr...
In this work we will investigate how the magnetic properties of nanometer thick iron-oxide films can be manipulated by heating them in air. Our preliminary results indicate that... -
Magnetic interactions in ferromagnetic topological insulator multilayer struc...
Topological insulators are one of the most important recent discoveries in condensed matter physics. The topological surface state can become gapped when ferromagnetic order is... -
Evolving structures of oxysulfide battery materials
This proposal aims to investigate the evolution of the structures of layered oxysulfide materials which show promise as lithium ion battery electrodes. The lithiation of... -
Vibrational Densities of States from Amorphous Nanocomposites for Novel Drug ...
In the current proposal, we require TOSCA to investigate by vibrational spectroscopy the apparent amorphous nature of the prototype drug molecule ibuprofen confined by... -
Investigating the breakdown of spring-exchange coupling at low temperature on...
Strong magnets with a high energy product are vital when optimizing the efficiency in the electricindustry. This can be achieved by making spring-exchange coupled magnets.... -
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering using Neutron Spin echo
We propose a measurement of the effectiveness of using the RF flippers on Offspec in a quasi-elastic mode (theta=90°) with the RF at 0.5MHz. This is important to our future... -
IINS measurements on the terminating protons of the basic structural units of...
More than 6 million tonnes of carbon black per year are produced worldwide. The major part is used as reinforcing filler material in tyres and mechanical rubber goods. For... -
Characterisation of Pearlman's catalyst
Pearlman¿s catalyst is commonly used in various hydrogenation, arylation and O-debenzyaltion reactions. The catalyst is unusual that it is active but not pyrophoric. It is... -
