The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
As part of a UK Catalysis Hub initiative in Catalyst Design involving a team of academic and industrial researchers, the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over zeolite catalysts is... -
Determination of the density of states of liquid light and heavy water as a f...
Liquid light and heavy water are the most widely used moderator and reflector materials in nuclear reactors, however there is a lack of knowledge of the vibrational density of... -
Resonant Spin Excitation in Single Crystal of Ba0.3K0.7Fe2As2
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... -
Crystal Electric Field (CEF) Effect in Ce2Zr2O7 Pyrochlore
In recent years, there has been a great interest in quantum spin liquid (QSL). The QSL state is characterized by no conventional order parameter associated with a broken... -
The application of INS to investigate the methanol-to-gasoline reaction over ...
We propose to use MERLIN to measure INS from commercial zeolite catalyst samples extracted from a reactor in which they have been exposed to dimethylether for different lengths... -
CEF scheme investigation of selected CenTmIn3n+2m (T=Rh, Pt) compounds
Due to the tunable interplay between magnetism and superconductivity the CenTmIn3n+2m (n, m = 1, 2; T = Co, Ir, Rh, Pd, Pt) family of heavy fermion compounds has been attractive... -
Probing the crystal field of dysprosium (III) single-ion magnets with enhance...
SMMs have received much attention owing to their quantum tunneling and slow relaxation of the magnetization. This has led to an intense activity by synthetic chemists to... -
The Active Site in Iron Molybdate Catalysts for Selective Methanol Oxidation
Formaldehyde is an industrially important chemical (world production 32 million tonnes in 2006) currently made from methanol using an iron molybdate catalyst. Reaction occurs at... -
How does a catalyst promoter affect the degree of hydrogen retention of iron-...
We have recently used INS to determine how a hydrogen pre-treatment stage of an iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may modify catalytic performance. That work established how... -
Spin wave investigation in brownmillerite oxygen deficient perovskite Ca2Fe2O5
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is thought to be responsible for the stabilization of weak ferromagnetism or magnetic spiral states in a number of diverse systems. An... -
Neutron scattering of coke deposits on catalytic samples - MAPS
Catalysts used for water-gas shift reactions, and other important industrial processes, often suffer from deposition of hydrocarbon and carbon species (coking) to reduce their... -
Exploring high energy nematic spin correlations in uniaxial-strained BaFe2As2
Electronic nematic phase in iron-pnictide superconductors have been discovered in various systems by techniques such as resistivity, ARPES, magnetic torque and neutron... -
Can INS measurements access hydrocarbonaceous overlayers on heterogeneous hyd...
This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited...
