Structural Studies of Complex Mixed-Metal Pyrochlore and Spinel Oxides
Our objective is to determine structural models for some complex, mixed-metal oxide phases that are as complete as possible using analysis of PDFs produced from total neutron... -
Investigation of the phases formed during the conversion reaction of the C-ba...
FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g.... -
Structure of niobium phosphate glasses
Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite... -
Mercury sulphide dimorphism in liquids and glasses
A waste majority of crystals exists in several polymorphic forms in different domains of the P,T-diagram. Liquids and glasses also exhibit polyamorphism and the question remains... -
Local structure of a barocaloric framework material
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure-induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression techniques... -
The Nature Of Zinc Substitution in Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate
We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence... -
Effect of Composition on Local Environment of Sulphate in Silicate Glasses
We will study the effects of changes in composition and structure of alkali silicate and alkali-alkaline earth silicate glasses on its sulphate incorporation capacities. Total... -
Test experiment: Neutron diffraction on helium in silica
We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass... -
PDF study of the effect of synthesis conditions on the local structure of har...
Hard carbons are amongst the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, but their charge storage mechanisms are still poorly understood. Difficulties in... -
Long-Range and Local Structures of New Pyrochlores and Fluorites
We propose to study by total neutron scattering the structures of some complex oxide materials prepared by new hydrothermal routes in order to construct structural models... -
Deuterium Site Determination in Quasicrystal Deuteride (Ti45Zr38Ni17)0.42D0.5...
We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the... -
The Structural Effects of adding TiO2 to Calcium Phosphate Glasses.
This study will investigate the structural effect of adding titanium oxide to a calcium phosphate bioactive glass. We wish to understand the structural origins of the increased... -
Atomic structure of 2NaY-Ga2S3 (Y = Cl, Br, I) liquids
Alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses MY-Ga2X3-GeX2 (M = Li, Na, Rb, Cs; Y = Cl, Br, I; X = S, Se) are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices, solid-state... -
Investigating the Structure of Lithium Doped Metal-Organic Framework Glasses
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a sub-family of MOFs, have recently been observed to melt, with the liquid surprisingly retaining the chemical composition of the... -
Direct measurement of the Au-D bond
Gold is historically thought of as an inert metal, and so investigation of its chemistry has been under-investigated. In 1986 it was shown that gold can be incredibly active as... -
Copy of: Determination of the population of sp2 and sp3 bond lengths in graph...
The aim of this proposal is to examine the relative population of sp2 and sp3 bonds in a small number of graphitic samples, given that the bond length is 1.42A for standard sp2... -
Neutron PDF Analysis of Solid Methylaluminoxane as an Activating Catalyst Sup...
Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is the most commonly used activator and co-catalyst for transition metal complexes in olefin polymerisation reactions. Despite its widespread use, there... -
Local structure of liquid gallium-iodine and gallium-indium
Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,... -
