This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a...

It is well known that water is the medium in which the overwhelming majority of biological processes take place. In cell membranes water molecules are thought to be essential to...

Thermoelectricity enables the conversion of waste heat into useful power, and it is becoming increasingly important for power recovery applications at high temperature, where...

The title compound, more succinctly referred to as HMT-hydrate, is a rare example of a water-framework zeolite structure with an organic guest molecule hydrogen bonded to the...

The myelin sheath is a multilayered membrane wrapped around axons in the vertebrate nervous system; it enables the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. It contains a set of...

Water plays a critical role in determining the structure and function of biological system. A hydration level, h~0.2 g water/g protein, is often found to be the minimum...

Hybrid perovskites, composed of an organic cation, inside a post transition metal halide framework, have emerged since 2009 as simple, low cost solar cell materials, with power...

The separation membrane is a key component in Polymer electrolyte fuel cells. It must be both an ionic conductor and an electronic insulator. Cellulose nanofibrill membranes...

The development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine, in particular for storage of biological matter. The detailed characteristics of the cooling...

Water is crucial for the functioning of proteins. There has been substantial work to study the effect of water on protein dynamics, structure and function. However, how protein...

The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,...

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts offer a route to the production of fuels and chemicals from synthesis gas, which has a number of sources. This reaction is likely to play a key...

Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up...

Relaxor ferroelectics are of significant interest for use as piezoelectric actuators in sensing applications and for high precision mechanical stages. Relaxors are traditionally...

We investigated nuclear spin excitations in the multiferroic HoCrO3 on the BASIS spectrometer of SNS, Oak Ridge. We found low energy excitations arising from hyperfine...

This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated...

Normal-to-malignant transformation in human cells, still an ill-understood process, is intimately related to their biomechanical properties, which are strongly dependent on the...

Many hybrid Prussian blue analogues show exploitable electric behaviour, such as piezo-, pyro-, or ferroelectricity or dielectric switching. We have previously characterised one...

Graphene-based materials have unique structural and physiochemical properties, and have been exhibited as efficient working substances to filter salts in saline water....

Water plays a critical role in life. A hydration level, h ~ 0.2 g water/g protein, is found to be the minimum for the dynamical transition in protein at Td ~ 200 K. This...
