Total scattering study of the interactions of ammonia borane adsorbed in MCM-41
We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading... -
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 investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content.... -
Pair distribution function analysis of stacking disorder in ice
Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic... -
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... -
The Power of Neutron Reflectivity for Batteries
Catastrophic failures of lithium batteries is a major safety concern, however our understanding and control over the mechanisms of these failures is still lacking. Lithium is... -
In situ studies on hydride diffusion and exchange in alkaline earth hydrides ...
Thermogravimetric analysis on alkaline earth hydrides in St Andrews has revealed a remarkably fast exchange of deuterium and hydrogen by alkaline earth hydrides at relatively... -
The influence of chemical pressure on the helimagnetic correlatations and sky...
The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
An eye to scale-up: a fundamental understanding of the ZIF-8 reaction
While the field of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been advancing steadily for the last two decades, only recently have commercial applications come onto the market. One key... -
Structural Disorder in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate YbMgGaO4
Quantum spin liquids are novel magnetic states in which quantum entanglement suppresses conventional magnetic order. Understanding the effects that stabilise such states is an... -
Interaction of amino acid based biosurfactants with model lipid bilayers
N-acyl amino acids are surfactants with attractive applications in different technological fields. They are referred to as mild surfactants because they are commonly considered... -
Surfactant aggregation at the solid-Ionic liquid and air ionic-liquid interfaces
The beamtime requested will be used to study the adsorption of a series of non-ionic surfactants at the air-IL interface in order to further understand the aggregation processes... -

INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -
Characterising Bronsted acidity in industrial zeolite catalysts as a function...
The vibrational spectrum of Brønsted acid sites in commercial zeolite catalysts as a function of framework topology and composition (Si/Al ratio) will be studied using the... -
Superstructures in lithium cobaltate
The battery material LixCoO2 has recently been shown to have high thermopower comparable to NaxCoO2 at high x. In the case of NaxCoO2 we showed using neutron Laue diffraction on... -
The physics of detergency at low temperature: neutron reflection to reveal su...
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
Mechanism of charging metal oxide colloids in non-polar solvents
Contrast-variation SANS (CV SANS) will be used to determine how surfactant inverse micelles interact with model metal oxide colloids. By using deuterated surfactant (D-AOT) with...
