Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are... -
Using small angle neutron diffraction to describe the status of water in solu...
Fish oocytes and embryos are complex cryobiological objects for which, successful cryopreservation has still not been achieved. This circumstance seriously restricts the... -
Effect of pressure on the ice XII to ice XIV phase transition
Water ice displays a remarkably complex phase diagram containing pairs of hydrogen-ordered / disordered phases. Ice XII is a hydrogen-disordered phase and ice XIV is its... -
Low Temperature Structural Investigation of the Triangular Lattice Material T...
The room temperature crystal structure of TbInO3 realises a geometrically frustrated two-dimensional triangular lattice of Tb3+ J = 6 cations. We have prepared ~ 6 g of high... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the... -
The Structure of Ca- and Yb-ammonia Solutions: Polarons, Bipolarons and Elect...
In this experiment we propose to perform diffraction on isotopically substituted samples of Ca/Yb:ND/H3 and Ca/Yb:15ND3 at two concentrations (8 and 2 MPM) using the new NIMROD... -
Kinetics of Molecular Intercalation into Graphite Oxide
The search for new porous materials is increasingly be driven by socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based... -
Investigation of non-Fermi liquid behaviour in Mn0.75Fe0.25Si through muon sp...
The investigation of electron correlations in intermetallic alloys is fascinating. At times, depending on the nature and strength of correlations, the compounds exhibit... -
Polymorphism and Li coordination in LiFeO2 ionic conductors
Despite the importance of the LiFeO2 phases as cathode materials in lithium ion batteries, little is known about their crystal structures. In the frame of our research project... -
Search for antiferromagnetic coupling in ferromagnetic oxide LSMO-LCMO multil...
La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) are two oxide ferromagnetic materials. They will be grown on single crystal SrTiO3 substrate. This allows a highly textured... -
Ion Exchange and Dehydration in Clinoptilolite
Determination of the position of hydrogen in inorganic materials such as zeolites, coordination compounds, H2 storage materials, energy materials, organometallics etc is a... -
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... -

High temperature superstructures in thermoelectric oxides
Sodium cobalate has emerged as one of the best thermoelectric materials. Our previous neutron Laue diffraction studies on SXD have found ordered arrays of multivacancy clusters,... -
Exploration of the pressure-induced amorphization and glassy states of THF-cl...
Clathrate hydrates (CHs) are ice structures in which water molecules (host) form cages through hydrogen bonds. The cages can accommodate various types of molecules (guests),... -
Diffuse magnetic scattering in the Pyrochlore magnet Sm2Ti2O7
Rare-earth Pyrochlores of the form A2B2O7 display a diverse set of physical phenomena emanating from the strong geometrical frustration experienced by magnetic moments on this... -
Magnetostructural study of Percolation Behaviour in Double Perovskites Ba2Fe1...
We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to determine the structure and magnetic ordering that occurs in a series of cation-ordered perovskites. These cubic compounds... -
The Dynamics of Breathing Metal-Organic Frameworks from Total Scattering
Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show... -
Neutron Diffraction Study of a Spin-1/2 Pyrochlore Lu2Mo2O5N2
Ammonolysis of R2Mo2O7 pyrochlores gives R2Mo2O5N2 containing S = ½ Mo5+. They are excellent candidate materials for investigation of quantum spin liquid phenomena and we have... -
Structural Studies of PbZr1-xTixO3: completing the puzzle in the tetragonal a...
We request 6 days of HRPD time in order to study the structures on the tetragonal side of the lead zirconate-titanate (PZT) phase diagram, a region that has so far been rather...
