Thermal barrier materials are used in modern turbines to enable them to run above the melting temperature of the turbine blades. However, to go to higher temperatures (and...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to have a good level of characterization of artefacts by traditional analytical...

The aim of this experiment is to study the structural effect of solid solution strengthening elements on the state of ordering in Titanium (Ti) alloys. A systematic study using...

The last couple of decades have seen a rapidly increasing interest in new environment friendly energy sources and one key aspect of this research involves characterisation of...

In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the very unexpected adsorption behaviour of the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate potassium and ammonium salt (K(AOT)...

Tri-block copolymers offer an excellent model system for the study of crystallization in the bulk as well as close to interfaces. It is known that the structures formed by this...

Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of...

This proposal aims to exploit the superior flux on the upgraded HRPD coupled with the intrinsic high resolution to examine the differences between a sample of Sr2CoO2Cu1.85S2...

The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural...

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¿...

We are about to submit a detailed pair distribution function study of a new lead-free ferroelectric material based on RMC analysis. This method will be applied in VT studies of...

The most important scientific problem to solve for our modern society is how to convert and store clean energy. We are currently on the verge for a general breakthrough in...

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...

Graphene has recently received widespread attention, after the discovery of its stability as a 2Dcrystal at ambient conditions and thanks to a wealth of possible applications....

Thermoelectric (TE) materials enable the recovery of useful electrical energy from waste heat. High-efficiency requires a high electrical conductivity to be coupled with a high...

The keris is the distinctive weapon of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is found in a variety of forms but, typically, it is an elongated dagger or short sword of slender proportions...

[2,2]-Paracyclophane, C16H16, is a small molecule containing both sp2 and sp3 hybridized carbon atoms. Despite of its apparent simplicity, its solid state structure and...

Neutron diffraction offers one of the most interesting and meaningful methods for non destructive quantitative determination of the phase composition of materials. However, it...

Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis....
