The proposed experiment involves monitoring the depolarisation behaviour of rhombohedral PZT (lead zirconate titanate) ceramics caused by ferroelectric domain switching during... -
Non-magnetic impurities in a strong-leg spin ladder
Th S = ½ AF spin ladder is one of the most important models in quantum magnetism. While its properties throughout the (H,T)-phase diagram may be considered to be well understood... -
In-situ Battery Discharge Studies of Thermal Batteries using Transition Metal...
Thermal batteries find use in applications such as emergency power systems and ejector seats in aircraft. They operate at elevated temperatures of around 400-500 °C, where the... -

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are stable compounds and commercially desirable. They are widely used, for example, as surfactants in textile and paper products and in aqueous... -
Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe I HRPD
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elastic properties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
Neutron Scattering and Structural Measurements of CO2 and CD4 Adsorption in M...
Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and... -
Neutron diffraction from polyunsaturated multibilayer membranes containing a ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary fats that have been proposed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and auto-immune diseases, arthritis and cancer. PUFA... -
Persistent geometrical frustration in the distorted spinel lattice
The corner-shared network of tetrahedra is the most well-known lattice exhibiting geometrical frustation of AFM exchanges under cubic symmetry. Even when the lattice symmetry is... -
Combined in-situ structural and hydrogen desorption/absorption studies of hyd...
The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases... -
Rapid microfluidic phase mapping of SDS:water:butanol
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are... -

Adsorption of Monoclonal Antibodies at the Solid/liquid Interface
We propose to use neutron reflection to study the interfacial adsorption of 2 novel bispecific therapeutic antibodies at the silicon oxide/water interface. To enpower each of... -
Structural and magnetic orders in Ga-V oxide spinels
In certain materials, notably with the spinel structure, orbital ordering can result in the formation of a ground state with electrons delocalising between small numbers of... -
Characterization of the texture properties of Euro coins as a function of min...
This work intends to see if a diffraction technique is able to distinguish between coins minted in different places. All the physical properties of euro coins were restricted by... -
High-energy spin excitations in antiferromagnetic metal of (Mn,Fe)3Si
Since magnetism in Fe-based superconductors (SCs) show many similarities to that in Cr, investigation of the overall spin dynamics of antiferromagnetic (AF) metal will give... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -
Investigation of the impact of mechanical twinning on the thermal expansion b...
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.... -
In-situ characterisation of mixed steel powders during simulated powder proce...
It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution...
