The topotactic reduction and anion exchange of complex oxy-halides
The reaction of LiH with the oxy-chloride Sr3Fe2O5Cl2 initially leads to the topotactic deintercalation of oxide ions and the formation of Sr3Fe2O4Cl2 containing sheets of... -
Investigation of the Dynamic Mechanism of Xylanase by QENS
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,... -

Further study of high pressure magnetic order and superstructure in BiNiO3 at...
Transition metal oxides make up a remarkable group of materials, exhibiting a wide variety of unusual electronic and magnetic properties. They have generated much interest, in... -
QENS on Lightweight Borohydrides
We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in... -
Water dynamics in dental zinc cement by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the... -
Dynamics of a New and High Performance Proton Conductor ZnADP.3H2O
We propose to measure the dynamics in ZnADP¿3H2O, a new and high performance material that exhibits proton conductivity as high as Nafion membranes, which is the best commercial... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
QENS on Halide Stabilized LiBH4
LiBH4, is an ionic solid, consisting of Li+ and BH4- ions. It undergoes a structural phase transition at 383K. Within the HT phase, the BH4-units undergo rapid re-orientations,... -
High pressure behaviour of sulfuric acid tetrahydrate
Our previous work on sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (SAT) identified a monoclinic high-pressure polymorph, which forms at 5.35 kbar when the tetragonal low-pressure phase is warmed... -
Water diffusion mechanism in hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonates are highly important in geochemistry and especially in biomineralization. In nature, organisms can form each of the anhydrous polymorphs selectively for... -
Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Crystal structures and magnetic order in metal/ammonia intercalates of FeSe
This is a proposal to determine the magnetic structures of the Rb/NH3 and K/NH3 intercalates of FeSe. These compounds exhibit superconductivity when freshly prepared, but... -
Dynamics of Water on Surface of Reverse Osmotic Membranes
We are proposing 10 days of beamtime on IRIS to investigate the diffusion process of H2O molecules adsorbed on polyamide, surface material of reverse osmotic membranes currently... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Local structure of the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (ND4)2SO4
Ammonium sulfate has a well-known order-disorder phase transition at -50 ºC: initially of interest for the ferroelectric behaviour in the low-temperature phase, this has... -
QENS Study of Proton Diffusion in Metal-Organic Framework Materials
The development of new functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as complex proton conductor is receiving increasing attention worldwide. We aim to develop new solid proton... -
Exploration of the microscopic origins of thermal anomalies observed in molec...
It is a well established fact that several molecular liquids experiences a series of thermal anomalies as measured by microscopic and macroscopic techniques. A remarkable case... -
Thermodynamics of Non-Uniform Compression in H-Bonded Molecular Solids
Equations of state (EoSs) show how the thermodynamic variables of temperature, pressure and volume are inter-related. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT, is an example of an EoS which... -
Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active...
