A High-Pressure Study of TNT
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the widely used civil and military explosive TNT (trinitrotoluene). We are proposing a careful high-pressure... -
Interfacial / surface retention / delivery of perfumes from different surface...
This proposal is part of a funded (CASE) project, aimed at understanding the delivery of benefit actives (perfumes) to interfaces and the development of new self-assembled... -
Magnetic Charge Transport in Spin Ice
The transport of electrically charged quasiparticles plays a pivotal role in modern technology. In contrast, the transport of magnetic charges has barely been explored... -
Copy of: The Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure and temperature TiCl4 is a fuming yellow liquid. On cooling it forma a solid composed of essentially isolated tetrahedral molecules; the same structure is... -

Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction to Mon...
With appropriate storage materials, ammonia has great potential as a fuel. We propose to use a novel piece of equipment, which combines microwave and neutron diffraction... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction study of the synthesis of Half-Heusler the...
XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the... -
Towards the development of carbonitrides as novel two-stage regenerable reage...
We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that... -
Local structures and dynamics of new functional oxides
The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels... -
Texture measurement and in-situ annealing of hot-rolled α + β dual-...
The experiment will use neutron diffraction to analyse a hot-rolled matrix of dual-phase ZrNb alloys, in order to measure the macroscopic texture dependence on temperature,... -
Structural phase transitions in Li doped AgNbO3.
The aims of the present proposal are twofold. Firstly to use very high resolution neutron diffraction data to establish accurate and precise structures of the novel... -
High-pressure structure of ferrosilite FeSiO3 glass
The density-driven structural transformations in ferrosilite glass FeSiO3 will be investigated at pressures increasing to 17.5 GPa. This glass is one of a family of silicate... -
A High pressure investigation of the Binary carbonyls of group 7 M2(CO)10 M =...
The structures of two binary metal carbonyls containing a metal-metal bond Mn2(CO)10 and Re2(CO)10 will be studied as a function of pressure. Both these molecules undergo a... -
Muon spin rotation to determine internal fields in HfNiSn
HfNiSn is a semiconducting material with cubic crystal symmetry, and as such it should not show any anisotropy in electronic transport.However, at low temperatures we observe... -
In-situ Formation of Fast Lithium Conducting garnets via low temperature sol-...
Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices... -
An investigation into the structure of zeolites ZSM-5, Beta and Y as a functi...
The inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of commercial samples of industrially important zeolites ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratios: 25, 30, 80,and 280), Beta (Si/Al ratios: 25, 38, and 300)... -
magnetic structure and step-like magnetization in Ca3Co2O6: a neutron diffrac...
Pure Ca3Co2O6 is a model system of ferromagnetic Ising chains arranged antiferromagnetically on a triangular net. Furthermore this system has aroused great interest because at... -
