We propose to carry out in-situ neutron diffractometry on testpieces of a latest-generation single crystal superalloy. This work is in support of current EPSRC projects...

More than four decades ago A. F. Andreev predicted theoretically the existence of quantum states of 3He atoms on free surface of liquid 4He . In other words, at low...

We shall use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the structural behaviour of the temperature sensitive highly branched poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) [PNIPAM]. These...

The understanding of mechanisms responsible for the formation of Non-Fermi Liquid state (NFL) and its relation to unconventional superconductivity is among the largest...

This experiment is part of a programme to study the effect of applied electric fields on the structure of biomimetic films formed at Au electrodes, with emphasis on...

It has recently be demonstrated, through diamond-anvil cell experiments, that it may be possible for methane to be formed within the inner Earth through transformation reactions...

The experiment is aimed to unravel the diffusion mechanism of hydrogen in Callovo-Oxfordian clays, which are candidates to be used as backfill material in long term geological...

Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour...

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...

This project concerns fundamental and strategically important research underlying the development of new drug delivery vehicles. We propose to sample phase diagram of...

In the present project we will focus on critical behaviour of Cu3(pyrazine)[W(CN)8]2 revealing magnetic phase transition at Tc=43 K. The findings will be compared to those...

We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and...

We request two days of beam-time on POLARIS to obtain high resolution measurements of the thermal expansion of dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2]. The experiment forms part of a larger...

The proposed experiment is concerned with the rhombohedral ferroelectric (FE) to orthorhombic antiferroelectric (AFE) phase transformation in PZT (lead zirconate titanate)...

Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising...

Methane clathrates are likely to be an important constituent of icy satellite interiors and a source of methane in the atmosphere of Saturn's giant satellite Titan. There is...

LCST, or ¿cloud point¿ is a property of some types of polymers in solution. At low temperatures, the polymers are fully solvated and exist as extended conformations in solution....

We request 1 day of beam-time on POLARIS to collect Neutron Diffraction (ND) data on the Sillenite Bi12SiO20 (gamma-Bi2O3) that we have recently discovered to exhibit a...

We intend to use small angle neutron scattering to investigate the conformational behaviour of a range of amphiphilic copolymers comprising a hydrophobic methacrylate segment...

In polymer-fullerene based photovoltaic systems the phase behaviour of the blends is poorly understood and remains a fundamental stumbling block to improvements in device...
