Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts....

Despite many previous attempts, Sr4Fe6O12 (the expected fully reduced composition for Sr4Fe6O13-x) has not been synthesised. It is of interest because it is believed to contain...

Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of...

Polymer nanocomposites are formed by embedding polymer grafted nanoparticles in homopolymer host matrix. Polymers form glasses when cooled through their glass transition...

The proposed experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the diffusional motion of the hydride-ions in SrVO2H, which possesses the highest H (hydride) content among...

This experiment will examine the pressure and temeprature phase diagram of the elpasolite perovskite La2NiMnO6. The sample will be studied in the pressure range of 0-9 GPa at...

The catanionic vesicles are unilamellar or multilamellar spheroid structure composed of cationic and anionic surfactant molecules assembled into bilayers. Vesicles forms by...

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing...

The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a...

We propose to study the influence of deposition rates and annealing effects on microporous amorphous solid water samples (ASW) using NIMROD. The data will allow us to monitor...

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...

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

A cell membrane can contain hundreds of different lipid molecules, but our understanding of the dynamics of cell membranes is very limited. As a result of a collaboration...

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...

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...

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...

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

Combined with computational modeling, in situ quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) at OSIRIS beamline will be employed to study ammonia transport and self- diffusivities at...

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...

Recently insulator-metal transition in Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 was observed at P = 0.5 GPa, implying a change in magnetic ground state, which was initially a pseudo-CE AFM one. In later...
