PbCoO3 used to be the “missing link” in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC...

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...

Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. This includes the...

NaAlH4 has been a model system for metal hydride hydrogen storage materials since the reaction was identified to be reversible. The decomposition pathway has been described by a...

We propose to study the effect of pressure on the structure of the tetragonal Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3, The behaviour will be compared to the compression of the cubic BaSnO3 (parent...

Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped...

Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental...

Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

This proposal seeks to investigate the polymorphism and polymerisation of glycolide. Glycolide is a six-memebered ring structure that polymerises into poly(glycolic acid) and is...

We propose a simultaneous neutron reflectometry (NR)/attenuated total reflection (ATR) infra-red spectroscopy experiment on spin-coated thin films of self-assembled fatty acids...

The global increase of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led to increasing interest in research focusing on the development and characterization of new antimicrobial...

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...

Hydrogels are widely used in biomaterials science, much due to excellent protein resistance, and physicochemical properties similar to biological tissue. Charge neutrality is...

In recent years, amphidynamic crystals have gained more and more attention as a state of matter somehow intermediate between solids and liquids. In fact, although these systems...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects....

The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very...

We request 4 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus to follow the structural changes of Me-ND4 11BD4 as a function of temperature. The high resolution of HRPD will allow us to...

The mantle is estimated to be planet Earth’s most massive volatile (e.g. H, C, S, N) storage reservoir, with interactions between crustal and mantle reservoirs dominate the...

Recently (RB19100102) we have discovered that floating bilayers composed of fluid phase lipids can be produced by deposited vesicles onto charge modified oligo(ethylene...
