Magnetic equiatomic alloys (MEAs) of the general formula MM'X (M, M' = transition metals, X = Si, Ge, Sn) undergo martensitic transition on cooling from high temperature....

Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

This proposal requests 2 days on MERLIN to measure the INS spectrum of the novel perovskite type oxyhydride BaTiO3-xHx (x = 0.4). Prevision INS measurements, on TOSCA, have...

This proposal requests 4 days on Tosca to investigate the local structure and vibrational properties of phospors for solid state white lighting. The key objective is to...

In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, the volume of a material abnormally contract with the increase of temperature, is closed related to the magnetovolume effect in...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles, positively chargely targeting peptides (P) and negatively charged DNA (D) or siRNA (R), known as LPDs and LPRs...

Previous work by the experimental team has successfully examined methane reforming catalysts using CO2 as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the progression to using steam as the...

We propose to study hydride ion diffusion in AEH2 (AE = Ca and Ba) using the QENS technique. We have recently demonstrated that the charge carrier in these materials are hydride...

Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible using Empirical Potential Structure Refinement methods combined with neutron...

We propose to use the new SANS2d to study the dynamic structural evolution in the couse of the formation of DNA-cationic polymer complexes. The dynamic process and the mixing...

In our daily life, we are aware that liquid and its vapour can coexist. As we increase the temperature and pressure, however, there is a point called the critical point where...

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are small disk shaped molecules that are important to a number of active research areas. These include natural systems, such as asphaltenes, the...

We will study the formation of methane hydrates in situ in the presence of swelling clays. The aim is to understand and control heterogeneous hydrate nucleation at this...

We are requesting 5 days of beamtime on HRPD to measure powder diffraction patterns of KOs2O6 under He gas high pressure up to 150 MPa. KOs2O6 exhibits a novel phase transition...

TMAO is a naturally occurring protecting osmolyte which stabilizes proteins and influences intermolecular interactions. Like some other osmolytes it counteracts the effects of...

We request 6 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering neutron diffraction data of aqueous solutions of paracetamol and caffeine. While much effort has gone into improving the...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

The solid state of L-alpha-alanine is routinely used as a dosimeter for X-ray, gamma, and electron radiations. Recently, in the framework of boron neutron capture therapy, it...

In this application we will conduct the first detailed study of the structure of glassy metal-ammonia systems ? so-called Ogg glasses, named after the person who first proposed...
