Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -
IINS investigation of magnesium hydride in nanoscale confinement
In this experiment MgH_2 impregnated into active carbon will be investigated through IINS. Since it is known that the enthalpy of formation of a material is lowered by... -
Estimating carbon contents within different phases in hypereutectoid steels
Previous studies have attempted to correlate the results of metallography with neutron diffraction studies on the very high-carbon steels used in Oriental blades, and Indian... -
Neutron Residual Stress Measurements of CANDU Piping Components
Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems... -
Monomer dynamics in polymer nanocomposites
We have recently shown that the addition of single walled carbon nanotubes produces a minimum in the diffusion coefficient with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Initially,... -
Magnetic nanostructures of Fe-Ag and Fe-Au granular thin films
Nanogranular thin films of FexM100-x (M=Au,Ag; x=7,20,39) are an excellent system to study the magnetism of nanoparticles in diamagnetic matrices coupled by direct, RKKY and... -
Structure of the lithium battery cathode Li2+2x(Fe,Mn)1-xSiO4
There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap and safe cathodes. Li2FeSiO4 shows promising performance as a cathode but... -

Determining the Hamiltonian of a New Quantum Spin Ice Material
Pr2Hf2O7 is a potential quantum spin ice compound. Compared to the classical spin ice ions Ho3+ and Dy3+, Pr3+ has weaker Ising anisotropy and significant XY terms leading to... -
Kinetics of the formation of eumelanin and its intermediates
The proposed research project is targeted to the investigation of the characteristics of eumelanin, a heterogeneous material insoluble in water and in any organic solvent, as... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
Structural studies of nanoporous carbons and a carbon molecular sieve
This project determines the nanoscale structure of carbide derived carbon, as well as a carbon molecular sieve, by hybrid reverse Monte Carlo simulation. Our simulation will fit... -
The use of INS to evaluate evolutionary processes associated with bringing ir...
In collaboration with a major provider of Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalytic technology, the research team have recently demonstrated how INS can be used to probe iron... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (IRIS)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Molecular Dynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites
Our aim is to determine whether the fast dynamics, of either the backbone or the phenyl ring of polystyrene, are altered by the presence of carbon nanotubes, and, if so, whether... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels
This proposal is part of a new project based on understanding the formation of gels in suspensions of partially oxidised cellulose nanofibrils with small amounts of salt or... -
Study of carbon supports for catalysts used in the direct synthesis of hydrog...
We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of... -
Quantum corrections for water in carbon nanohorns
The microscopic structure of of water [and ice] in carbon nanohorns by neutron diffraction on GEM has shown that water has a density that is ~20% lower than the normal liquid... -
Observation of low energy modes of adsorbed CO on a catalyst
Carbon monoxide occurs widely in industry in many roles. It is a feedstock for methanol synthesis and in Fischer-Tropsch chemistry for synthetic petrol and diesel. It is a... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and...
