We would measure vibrational spectra for Li2Si2O5 and Na2Si2O5, as well as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) spectra for Na2SiO5. The measurement of phonon spectra in the...

Quantum critical points (QCPs) have attracted continuous scientific interest due to the emergent phenomena observed in their vicinity, including unconventional superconductivity...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the...

We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba1-xKxFe2As2 (x=0.4), one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates...

Metal-organic frameworks represent one of the most studied options to store hydrogen for clean-energy applications. Nuclear quantum effects, and in particular zero-point...

Water ice forms a remarkable diversity of structures, occurring in as many as 17 crystalline forms. Water ice also shows other interesting and unusual properties. For example,...

Many geological processes are governed by the migration of hot, mineral-rich water. These "hydrothermal" fluids are stable at high pressures and temperatures and are important...

The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for...

The magnetic behaviour of actinide complexes are of interest as these show unusual physics that relate to single molecule magnet behaviour. We have studied the magnetic...

Oxide-ion and proton-conducting materials attract considerable interest thanks to their application as electrolytes in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We have recently...

Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,...

Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,...

As part of a wider study we are studying the effects of polymer architecture between cyclic and linear polymers. From ATR-FTIR measurements we observe clear differences between...

Ruddlesden-Popper type oxyfluorides are promising materials for the use as electrode materials in fluoride ion batteries. With the insertion and removal of fluoride ions,...

Dye sensitised solar cells, based around colloids of the wide bandgap semiconductor TiO2 with bound dyes have potential to provide a cheap,sustainable source of solar energy...

The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) compounds An+1BnO3n+1 exhibit a broad range of technologically interesting properties such as high-Tc superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance,...

LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (Li NMC 811) is a next generation Li ion battery cathode material. We are investigating the magnetic properties of Li NMC 811 to track the changes in local...

This proposal concerns the metal-organic framework (MOF), cobalt imidazolate. Imidazole (im) is a small, flat organic molecule that forms slightly bent metal-im-metal linkages,...

In the mono-alcohols (ROH) there is a competition between the packing requirements of the R-group and for the hydroxyl groups to be sufficiently close for hydrogen bonding to...
