The performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC) is strongly dependent on the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the electron mobility, which in turn is strongly influenced...

Formic Acid (FA) is a simple model for rotational isomerism, and it presents four different hydrogen bonding sites. In a recent study, we have elucidated the structure of FA in...

The structure and dynamics of water molecules in the presence of non-trivial confinement in porous systems has always created a lot of interest, both from an experimental and...

The development of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention owing to their potential for energy-efficient gas storage and separation. We...

Sr0.75Y0.25CoO2.62 is a promising cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. It shows metallic behaviour above 600K and molecular dynamics simulations have concluded that...

Fluidised Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are one of the major conversion units in modern petrochemical refineries. ZSM-5 additives are used in FCC units to convert gasoline...

Flexible functional materials are important candidates of current research, because of their potential applications in plastic electronics. Organic ferroelectrics and...

We propose to use OSIRIS to determine the magnetic structures of a series of cobalt oxysulfides containing Co in square planar coordination. Several compositions...

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...

Reflectin, so named because of its high refractive index, is a protein expressed exclusively in cephalopods and forms reflectors responsible for dynamic iridescence and...

The exchange-striction mechanism, where parallel or antiparallel alignment of an ion's spin with its neighbour leads to displacements away from or towards the neighbour which...

Green dioptase is a naturally occurring mineral, that has a deep green colour, similar to that of an emerald, and with a chemical formula of CuSiO3.H2O. The Cu lies in quasi-1D...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...

This proposal will use QENS to investigate the diffusion of propane and methylacetate in mordenite zeolite catalysts used for the carbonylation of dimethylether to make...

Ba2CuTeO6 is a recently discovered S=1/2 spin ladder system containing Cu2+ ladders. Our experiments indicate that it is extremely close to the theoretically predicted quantum...

We request 4 days on IRIS to study the temperature dependance of the structural dynamics in amorphous sodium-ammonia (Na-NH3). This will be the first investigation of the...

In recent years, the research related to agricultural wastes aiming to evaluate their potential for recycling as well as the elimination of the landfills increased dramatically....

We will determine the atomic and magnetic structure of two polymorphs of manganese cyanide, Mn(CN)2, which exhibit negative thermal expansion (NTE). The two forms are related;...

Mn12, with an anisotropy barrier close to 65 K, has been for 20 years a prototype nanomagnet, but in spite of a number of investigations the actual link between the value of the...

We have recently determined the structures of methanol-monoammoniate, and Me-hemiammoniate from neutron powder data. These are found to have different degrees of C-H...O...
