Formation of hard carbon from carbonized biowaste and in situ neutron study
hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high... -
RF MuSR in the gas phase: The Search for a Radical State
The main spectroscopic technique for studying radicals in solids and liquids, ESR, cannot usually be used to study radicals of more than 3-5 atoms in the gas phase due to strong... -
Investigating the role of Oxygen in the delafossite-spinel transformations in...
CuFe1-xCrO2 has potential applications as an SOFC cathode material. It exhibits and interesting transformation on oxidation. This is a follow on from our recent HRPD experiment... -
The possibility of strongly ferromagnetic austenite in a stainless steel
It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =... -

Cation site disorder in KTiOPO4 isostructures
KTiOPO4 (KTP) is a well known non-linear optical material. Its crystal structure has highly asymmetric Ti-O bonds, a rigid TiO6-PO4 lattice and K cations trapped in cages. The... -
In-situ study of structure-property relationships on proton conducting perovs...
Significant research has been given towards synthesis and characterisation of electrolyte materials with high proton conductivity for intermediate temperature range (200-600°C)... -
Relaxor-like dielectric behaviour in stoichiometric Sillenite Bi12SiO20
We request 1 day of beam-time on POLARIS to collect Neutron Diffraction (ND) data on the Sillenite Bi12SiO20 (gamma-Bi2O3) that we have recently discovered to exhibit a... -
Pressure effect on high-temperature multiferroic CuO studied by a single crys...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiment under high pressure condition, using a single crystal of CuO on WISH beamline. This monoxide is known as a multiferroic... -
Effects of pore geometry of nanoporous carbons on hydrogen densification usin...
Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. Recent inelastic neutron... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
Improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal tungsten bronzes
We address the detailed atomistic mechanism of ferroelectricity in a new family of oxides typified by the composition CsNbW2O9. Contrary to the mechanism in most ferroelectrics,... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
The ferroelectric phase transition in Dion-Jacobson layered perovskites - con...
Ferroelectricity in the Dion-Jacobson (DJ) family of layered perovskites arises from a 'trilinear coupling', whereby two non-polar lattice modes interact in such a way to... -
YMnO3-x : Mn(I) in a mixed metal oxide ?
Topotactic reduction of YMnO3 with CaH2 yields three new reduced phases. Two of these phases appear to have compositions close to YMnO2.5 but with very different anion vacancy... -
Muon States in Nanostructured Carbonaceous Materials
This experiment proposes the continuation of a study, initiated at J-PARC, on a new type of activated carbon material, with a pore structure and chemistry "tunable" in a manner... -
Investigating the role of oxygen in the mechanism for the transformation from...
Materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are being developed continuously. Cuprous delafossites (CuBO2 where B=Cu, Cr) are being developed for cathode side applications in... -
Compressible Liquids
Liquids are commonly known to be incompressible. However, a recently invented class of materials called Porous Liquids, which exhibit permanent porosity in the liquid phase, may... -
Possible high-temperature polar phases in the [110] layered perovskites NdBaI...
Geometric ferroelectrics are an unusual and rare class of materials which exhibit spontaneous electrical polarisation due purely to 'geometric' effects, i.e. caused by atomic... -
