Mica is an exceptionally important mineral in surface science, which until now has been inaccessible by neutron reflection. Here we propose a novel attachment method unlocking...

The object of the proposed experiment is to definitively locate hydrogen atoms on the extraordinary short B¿B bond by single crystal neutron diffraction method. Because the...

Our continuous proposal work will focus mainly on the influence of dislocation dominated deformation modes on fatigue-crack-growth in order to fully complete our proposed...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

In our recent experiment RB1120146 we have obtained new exciting results on neutron scattering on liquid He surface. At 1.5 and 2.3K there was no difference in reflectivity...

Borate glasses are archetypal amorphous oxide characterized by important medium range organisation. These glasses exhibit pressure-induced boron coordination change. The...

Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this...

In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo...

The aim of this proposal is to use neutron powder diffraction to characterise a series of 9 new halide modified lithium amides and imides which are of interest as reversible...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a transient phase in one of the most important biomineralisation systems in animals (s.g.) such as crustaceans. The literature reports many...

Previous studies have pointed to a heavy-electron state in CePtSi with a strongly enhanced electronic specific heat. We have explored the heat capacity, susceptibility and...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

Acceptor-doped perovskite oxides exhibit significant proton conductivity under humid or hydrogen containing atmosphere, which opens a unique possibility to be used as...

The main target of the proposal is to determine the magnetic phase diagram of multi-ferroic compound TbMnO3 in extremely high magnetic fields around 30 T by using a pulsed...

We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass...

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 propose to study the formation of lateral features during insulin amyloid formation on polymer substrates using off-specular neutron reflectivity. This will be done by...

FeSi is a member of the transition metal (TM) monosilicides. The crystal structure is isostructural from MnSi through to CoSi with magnetic properties that alter dramatically...

SrAl2O4 is a stuffed tridymite that has attracted a good deal of interest, since doping with Eu2+ leads to a material with elastic-luminescent response. The structure and phase...

We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the...
