The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...

The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases...

In certain materials, notably with the spinel structure, orbital ordering can result in the formation of a ground state with electrons delocalising between small numbers of...

Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects....

Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions...

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...

We propose the first neutron scattering experiment on the frustrated magnet Tb2Ti2O7 in the presence of a magnetic field along [111]. This will allow us to uncover signatures of...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

With appropriate storage materials, ammonia has great potential as a fuel. We propose to use a novel piece of equipment, which combines microwave and neutron diffraction...

XNiSn (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) Half-Heusler materials are potential candidates for application in thermoelectric waste heat recovery. The aim of the experiment is to follow the...

We are examining a number of cobalt-molybdenum carbonitrides as possible catalysts for reactions that produce nitrogen-containing organic molecules. There is good evidence that...

The nature of the ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet remains an important question. Cu(1,3-bdc) is a hybrid organometallic compound featuring S=1/2 Cu2+...

Increasing global population, global warming and depletion of fossil fuels have resulted in a growing need for better energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are promising devices...

The inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of commercial samples of industrially important zeolites ZSM-5 (Si/Al ratios: 25, 30, 80,and 280), Beta (Si/Al ratios: 25, 38, and 300)...

Water-soluble conjugated polymers (WSCP) are an important class of materials which have received great attention as active materials in optoelectronic devices and in biosensing....

SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of...
