Lanthanum-containing germanate apatites are materials with potential applications as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. The conductivity of these materials is known to...

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...

The following proposal aims to ellucidate the role of ammonium ions in sulfite oxidation reaction. The key step in the sulfur-ammonia photothermochemical cycle, which is one of...

Phonon lifetimes in BCS superconductors provide information on the details of the electron-phonon coupling mechanism. In 2008 high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering...

The aim of this work is to understand the nature of anion disordering in pyrochlore oxides and to establish what, if any, correlations exist between the anion position, disorder...

We propose to measure phonon density of states in LixFePO4 (x = 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0; three sample) from 300 to 1000 K to understand the role of lithium disorder with change in x...

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

With the decreasing cost of energy generation by renewable sources, energy storage is becoming increasingly critical to energy security across the globe. Lithium iron phosphate...

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...

We wish to better understand the interaction between the alkaline earth modifiers and the tellurite glass network. The aim is to relate structural changes in the glasses with...

Cooling down a liquid at ambient pressure all except Helium attain a solid state. If a crystalline state is reached a dramatic change in long range order occurs manifesting the...

A grand challenge facing society today is the need to develop green energy technologies. For instance, as we increase our use of renewable energy sources to cut our consumption...

We request GEM beamtime to study the structure of a series of calcium germanate glasses. The changes in coordination number and properties which occur in alkali germanate...

Considerable research has been devoted to materials to fulfil the roles of electrodes and electrolyte within SOFCs, with focus on the fluorite or perovskite crystal structures....

The interplay between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedoms in SrMn1-xWxO3 (X= 0.1625, 0.175) produce the charge and/or spin density waves (CDW, SDW) modulated...

Many network-forming liquids exhibit water-like thermodynamic and kinetic anomalies, the most obvious of which concerns the presence of a regime of anomalous densities as well...

We request time on VESUVIO to study the properties of FLiBe using mass-resolved neutron spectroscopy (MANSE). FLiBe is a mixture of BeF2 and LiF and its physical properties in...

The organic-inorganic perovskites (CH3NH3Pb(Br,Cl,I)3) have been identified as efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations have suggested that the low energy...

Material-specific calculations based on density functional theory play a major role in understanding and designing the properties of quantum matter. In the field of topological...
