Lithium ion batteries are the power source of choice for portable electrical devices owing to performance in terms of high specific capacity and reliability. Liquid electrolyte... -
INS investigation of the effects of hydration on the dynamics of natural silk...
Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding... -
Adsorption of an Anionic Surfactant on Anionic Surfaces in the Presence of Po...
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)... -
Neutron diffraction studies of nano-diamond particles
Nano-diamond particles are synthesised by detonation of TNT and Hexogen, resulting in a shockwave which produces diamond nanoparticles with an average size of around 5 nm,... -

Kinetics of Hydrogen Abstraction by Mu Reactivity with Propane studied by RF ...
Hydrogen abstraction reactions are key steps in free radical mechanisms that dominate the combustion and atmospheric chemistry of the alkane hydrocarbons and, as such, merit... -
Determination of the Thermoelastic Properties of Jadeite
Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6 is an important mineral in metamorphic rocks and occurs in low as well as high metamorphic grade. Previously we have determined the thermoelastic properties... -
The high pressure structures of ammonium fluoride
Ammonium fluoride is an ionic H-bonded analogue of ice. Its behaviour is thus of interest as a comparator for ice. This proposal is for beamtime to make the first neutron study... -
Oxygen Positional Disorder in the "Empty" Tetragonal Tungsten Bronze Ba4La0.6...
Ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze oxides (TTBs) have been extensively studied for their application dielectric and non-linear optical devices. TTBs often exhibit... -
Rheo-SANS of 2NapFF
We are investigating a range of functionalised dipeptides. For some examples, anisotropic structures are formed in water at high pH, which can be gelled by addition of a calcium... -
High pressure charge transitions in PbCoO3
PbCoO3 used to be the missing link in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC... -
Neutron powder diffraction on graphene and metal-decorated graphene
Graphene is a very promising material and appears particularly suitable in order to develop efficient hydrogen storage systems, especially if it is ¿decorated¿ with proper metal... -
Characterisation of superalloys strengthened by Co3Ti
One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is... -
Low-temperature incommensurate magnetic structure study of magneto-dielectric...
The interplay between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedoms in SrMn1-xWxO3 (X= 0.1625, 0.175) produce the charge and/or spin density waves (CDW, SDW) modulated... -
Texture memory and variant selection for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys
The proposed experiment will focus on determining the level of texture memory and variant selection on both heating and cooling for steel and titanium and zirconium alloys with... -
Centrifugal Force Spun Fibres
Centrifugal force spinning is a technique that has recently come into light as an easy route to producing large quantities of nano- to micro- scale polymer fibres in a short... -
INS Study of Multifunctional Catalysts (Ru, Pd-loaded Nb2O5Hx) for the Effici...
We request 7 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering study of two novel multifunctional catalysts (Ru/Nb2O5Hx and Pd/Nb2O5Hx) for the efficient cleavage of C-O... -
The crystal structure and thermal expansion of orthorhombic NiSi
NiSi is a technologically important material that is also of interest to Earth Scientists because of the possible role of Ni and Si in the Earth¿s core. It crystallises in the... -
Characterising the membrane binding interaction of plant annexin Gh1
Annexins are a ubiquitous group of membrane associated proteins found in animals, plants and fungi. They are linked to wide range of functions including phospholipid... -
A SANS Study on the Influence of Shear on Peptide Fibrillisation
Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured...
