The effect of confinement on the structure of alcohol-water mixtures
Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction... -
Characterization of local symmetry breaking in superconducting La2-xBaxCuO4 &...
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the... -
In-situ characterisation of mixed steel powders during simulated powder proce...
It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High... -
Dynamical Signatures of Quantum Spin Ice in Tb2Ti2O7
We propose the first neutron scattering experiment on the frustrated magnet Tb2Ti2O7 in the presence of a magnetic field along [111]. This will allow us to uncover signatures of... -
Pair distribution function analysis of stacking disorder in ice
Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
First insights into the hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam by neutron ...
The proposal seeks to investigate the structure and hydration of the nootropic drug piracetam in aqueous solutions by neutron scattering on the SANDALS instrument, with... -

The physics of detergency at low temperature: neutron reflection to reveal su...
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
SANS Investigation of Mixtures of Ionic Liquids
Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction to Mon...
With appropriate storage materials, ammonia has great potential as a fuel. We propose to use a novel piece of equipment, which combines microwave and neutron diffraction... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction study of the synthesis of Half-Heusler the...
XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -
Direct Measurement of Spin Hamiltonian in an Organometallic S=1/2 Antiferroma...
The nature of the ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet remains an important question. Cu(1,3-bdc) is a hybrid organometallic compound featuring S=1/2 Cu2+... -
In-situ Formation of Fast Lithium Conducting garnets via low temperature sol-...
Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices... -
magnetic structure and step-like magnetization in Ca3Co2O6: a neutron diffrac...
Pure Ca3Co2O6 is a model system of ferromagnetic Ising chains arranged antiferromagnetically on a triangular net. Furthermore this system has aroused great interest because at... -
Investigation of a frustrated quantum magnet with novel interaction scheme
SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of... -
Does the viscosity of the sub-phase effect the oxidation kinetics of surface ...
Atmospheric climate change is strongly influenced by clouds and the oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity of the planet. Clouds...
