The proposed experiment concerns the role of microstructure on the high temperature deformation behaviour of single crystal Ni-base superalloys. This class of material is of...

Neutron powder diffraction studies of layered rock salts LiCo0.1Mn0.1Ni0.8O2 and LiCo0.1Mn0.1Ni0.8O2-d

High pressure high temperature synthesis has proved a fruitful route to new materials. Though an inherently powerful technique the amount of sample produced is often limited to...

Previous experiments at ENGIN-X (Wenk et al. 2007) established that quartz rocks undergo mechanical twinning if stressed above 100 MPa. The amount of twinning is highly...

Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30...

The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to...

Novel cathode materials for rechargeable batteries have been under intense investigation since high cost and toxicity of current Li-ion batteries. We propose to study the...

This proposal is focused on developing an understanding of how surfaces affect the local structure of synthetic polymers. There is considerable evidence for a strong variation...

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....

Surface stress engineering processes aim to improve the life of components through the generation of favorable compressive residual stress fields by locally plastically...

Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite...

We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to...

Among the intense research on quantum spin liquid states, the Kitaev model has attracted great attention. Compounds consist of honeycomb layers with strong spin-orbit coupling,...

Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent muSR studies of Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous...

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...

Residual stresses introduced into large aerospace aluminium components after the queching procedure carried out to form the desired microstructure can result in large, costly...

We propose to investigate the interfacial adsorption of a series of water-soluble single chain PC surfactants using neutron reflection, focusing on assessing the effects of...

We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions...

We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite....

GluR0 is a glutamate sensitive potassium ion channel from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis which has been identified via primary structural sequencing to be similar to...
