Characterization at low Q values of a thermo and pH-sensitive hydrogel
Among soft colloidal systems microgels, aqueous dispersions of nanometer or micrometer-seized hydrogel particles, have been the subject of intense research in the last years... -
Structures of New Oxides from Total Scattering
Our objective is to determine accurate structural models for some novel oxide materials that we have recently prepared using new synthesis approaches, each of which is formed as... -
Recovery and characterisation of high-pressure phases in the systems H2O ¿ NH...
The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using... -
Ba3MoNbO8.5 novel oxide ion conductor: Direct observation of oxide ion dynamics
Oxide ion conductors are researched as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. Yttria-stabilized zirconia is the currently used electrolyte in SOFCs, leading to high operating... -
In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Cation environment and the tellurite anomaly
We have recently shown that the anomalous behaviour of the Te-O coordination number, nTeO, for binary tellurite glasses is related to the presence of terminal Te=O bonds in... -

High-pressure and high-temperature studies of CL-20, HMX, and TATB
The aims of this proposal are to explore the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of 3important energetic materials - CL-20, HMX and TATB. These experiments are expected... -
Disorder in substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate for waste immobilisation
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
Unveiling the role of phonons in reaching very high blocking temperatures in ...
One of the main goals of the research in Molecular Magnetism is to increase the blocking temperature TB of Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs). A significant breakthrough was... -
Structural and Magnetic Behaviour of PrCrO3 at High Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure tunes the interatomic separations within a compound, causing changes in the electronic structure. This alters many other material... -
High Pressure Behaviour of Benzene
The interactions between benzene molecules in the solid phase is of fundamental interest. Benzene is often used as a model system for structure prediction methodologies and... -
Structural study of oxygen ion conduction in microporous Mayenite
The crystal unit cell of mayenite, 12CaO.7Al2O3, consists of a cubic lattice of [Ca24Al28O64]4+ with the remaining 2*O2- contained in cages, which are linked by channels within... -
Creep Cavitation in Stainless Steel Weldments
Reheat cracking is a creep failure mode that has been observed in welded structures operating at high temperatures in the power generation industry. The failure results from the... -
pH-driven self-assembly of colloidal particles confined between parallel walls
Small particles with dimensions of a few hundred nanometers tend to behave differently when confined in small spaces. Examples of such situations are easy to find in nature --... -

A high pressure study of the alpha-form of acetylene dicarboxylic acid dihydrate
We propose to investigate changes that occur in acetylene dicarboxylic acid dihydrate as a function of pressure. This system, for which there is a general paucity of structural... -
Modifer Interactions in Ternary Tellurite Glasses
We wish to better understand the interaction between alkali and alkaline earth modifiers within the tellurite glass network by measuring neutron correlation functions, T(r)s,... -
Understanding domain organization in a binary lipid mixture by SERGIS
Membranes of cells are the physical barrier between the inside and outside of the cell. Transport and signaling is control by transport and signaling proteins but their ability... -
Interplay of magnetism and superconductivity in the iron-based spin ladder Ba...
Iron-based superconductors (FeSCs) have been an essential research area in condensed matter physics. Spins of iron sites forming a long periodic configuration, called the...
