What is the Room Temperature Structure of NaTaO3?
The current proposal seeks to establish the origin of t non-perovskite-like peak splitting observed in HRPD data for NaTaO3. It is our hypothesis that this is a result of the... -
Polyamorphism in Glassy GeO2
The object of this proposal is to determine, by using neutron diffraction, the nature of the polyamorphic phase transition that occurs in glassy GeO2 with increasing pressure.... -
Behaviour of hexamethylenetetramine hexahydrate to 5 GPa
The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the... -
Towards the Calibration of Chemical Pressure
The application of hydrostatic pressure allows the precise tuning of atomic separations, which control electronic structure and virtually all the interatomic interactions that... -
Structures and compositions of Li-conducting framework materials with low sym...
Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the... -
Unravelling the mechanisms of negative thermal in γ-Mg(11BD4)2
We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of... -
Composite Electrospun Fibres based on Food waste
Thus proposal seeks to explore the nature of electrospun composite fibres where the polymeric material contains a substantial quantity of biopolymer obtained from food waste -... -
Density-driven structural transformations in calcium silicate glass
The density-driven structural transformations in the calcium silicate glass CaSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of... -

Characterising new high-pressure phases of ammonia monohydrate
Over the past two years I have carried out high-pressure surveys of the ammonia monohydrate (AMH) phase diagram using a Paris-Edinburgh press mounted on the D20 beam-line at the... -
Neutronic Studies to Assess New Materials for Optimized Inverted Geometry Spe...
We request 7 days on VESUVIO to evaluate the neutronic performance of several materials used in inverted-geometry neutron spectrometers. In particular, we are interested in... -
The structures of simple halogen bridged complexes
We propose a high-resolution neutron powder diffraction study of the complexes 1, 4-dioxane X2, where X = Cl, Br, I. These are the simplest halogen-bonded complexes in which a... -
A study of nanoprobe size changes within a gel for a remote strain detection ...
We have created a new probe that is able to remotely measure the strain within injectable gels. In this set of experiments we aim to measure the performance of the probe within... -
Competition between C-H---O hydrogen bonds and C=O----Br halogen bonds
Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of... -
