A PDF investigation of synthetic Georgite - a new, high activity catalyst
Synthetic Georgite has shown high catalytic activity for a number of catalytic processes including methanol synthesis and the water gas shift reaction. Consequently, it is of... -
Evolution of interlayer water to form gel-like layers in graphene oxide
Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation... -
Test of scintillators for neutron radiography and tomography
The development of neutron radiography and tomography techniques using a portable equipment based on a compact neutron generator and innovative detector system is of great... -
Understanding precrystallisation of MgSO4 through total neutron scattering.
MgSO4 (and its numerous hydrates) is an important system industrially and has become a model system for fundamental crystallisation studies [4]. By studying an aqueous solution,... -
Insitu residual stress measurements on a specimen containing bonded crack ret...
Bonded crack retarders are a novel technology for providing improved damage tolerance in aerospace structures. They can be applied either in locations where mechanical fastening... -
Influence of Mg insert layers on interface magnetism in crystalline CoFe(B)/M...
We plan to continue our previous investigation on the influence of thin Mg insert layers on magnetism at buried interfaces in structures that model the lower electrode/barrier... -
Non-destructive investigation of pottery finds from Vörs-Máriaasszonysziget
The present application focuses on the determination of possible differences in pottery production methods during the Neolithic Period . Samples of coarse grain temper (organic... -
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... -
Interaction of polypeptide with surfactant: SANS study of solution aggregation
This proposal constitutes part of our ongoing study towards understanding the solution aggregation of collagen based polypeptides and their interactions with model surfactants.... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous iron sulfates (AFS)
Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent... -
Structural investigations of type-I clathrate compounds
This proposal concerns structural investigations on thermoelectric type-I clathrate compounds Ba8Ge43 and Cs8Sn44. Both compounds possess vacancies in their crystal structure... -
Systematic Investigation of Magnetically Doped Toplogical Insulators
Topological insulators (TIs) are of inherent interest as they are conducting on the surface whilst insulating on the bulk. We would like to investigate magnetically doped... -

The present application focuses on the determination of possible differences in pottery production methods during the Neolithic Period . Samples of coarse grain temper (organic... -
Protein-Ionic liquid interactions: A window into future sustainable processin...
Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein... -
Determination of the Pt-H bondlengths on a Pt/C fuel cell catalyst
We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this... -
Determination of the H-H bond lenght of H2/CuBTC MOF (SANDALS)
The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow... -
Adamantane in amorphous ice: A nanoprobe for detecting sintering, glass-trans...
Ice and carbon exist in vast quantities in our Universe. In fact, they often coexist, and form interfaces in highly diverse settings and environments. These include, for... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation in TiO2
We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
Non invasive characterization through time of flight neutron diffraction of t...
In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi...
