Beside the lattice energy, vibrational entropy has an important contribution to polymorph stability. We have developed a new method (NoMoRe - Normal Mode Refinement), which...

The objective of this proposal is to spectroscopically identify the nature of surface species formed during the addition of tert butyl hydroperoxide onto the surface of the...

Mn2V2O7 exhibits reversible structural transition from the high temperature monoclinic phase (C2/m) to low temperature triclinic phase (P-1) near room temperature where Mn2+...

For the first time, the research team aim to use INS to characterise a series of candidate methane reforming catalysts. Recent studies have shown that modification of...

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

The innovative research field on glass forming systems having bioprotective action has been originated from a growing demand from many biotechnological industrial research...

Metal oxide nanoparticles are a form of pollution generated by a number of industrial procedures, and there is evidence that this class of nanoparticle can have a detrimental...

We ask for 5 days on SXD to study the detailed crystal structures of PbS, PbSe and PbTe to resolve long-standing, topical controversies about the detailed behaviour of this...

We request 4 days on IRIS to investigate the diffusional and rotational dynamics of the alkalide forming, fully methylated aza-crown hexamethyl-hexacyclen (HMHC) in...

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen offers a cleaner more atom efficient alternative to the current commercial production process for this...

The piloting VESUVIO experiments RB820478, RB610497 on (NH4)2PdCl6 and (NH4)2TeCl6 and RB 10067 on (ND4)2PdCl6 have shown that: (i) the H/D dynamics in NH4+/ND4+ is largely...

New perovskite phases containing lead and halogens with a molecular cation are providing new options for materials in solar cells, giving unusually high efficiencies in...

We propose to investigate the vibrational dynamics of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) on TOSCA.The here proposed study complements theoretical works in hand for these novel...

The frustrated magnetism of pyrochlores makes them candidates for applications in magnetic cooling and scientific instrumentation, and the proposal that they can be used to...

We seek to explore extreme confinement on the vibrational density of states of polyethylene oxide (PEO) over a wide energy-transfer range (10-3000 cm-1). These experiments are...

The novel electric, magnetic and multiferroic properties of the metal formate perovskites have resulted in substantial scientific attention over the past fifteen years. Their...

The implementation of quick temperature cycles over the temperature range 2-40K in g-picoline has lead to the first observation of a redistribution of scattered intensity in...

Intermediate strength hydrogen bonds, H-bonds, are known to play a role in the reactions of surface bound species, especially on the widely used industrial substrate...

As part of an EPSRC grant coupled with an ISIS Programme Access award, the research team have been developing the methodology of using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to...

YbPd crystallizes in the cubic CsCl-type structure and reported to have magnetically ordered ground state with the mixed valence of the Yb ion. Further, it under goes through...
