Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Identifying the muon site in fluorine containing compounds
Fluorides form model systems with which we can test ideas about muon sites. We therefore propose a series of short experiments on well-defined fluoride systems that will be... -
In situ studies of mixed-phase oxygen transport membranes
The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen... -
Operando Analysis of Lithium/Sulfur Cells with SANS and deuterated solvents
Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong... -
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Analysis of Methoxy Motion in Functionalised Met...
Owing to the tuneable nature of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), functionalisation is a common methodology employed to introduce active groups to the material for enhanced gas... -
The solution structure of the OmpF¿Colicin N complex in neutral detergent by ...
Gram negative bacteria cause a wide range of diseases including meningitis, bubonic plague, gonorrhoea, diarrhoea, Legionnaires' disease and cholera. Their outer membrane... -
Quasielastic scattering in stuffed spin ices: defects or low lying singlets?
The subjects of this proposal, Ho2+xTi2-xO7-x/2, are brand new materials1 related to Ho2Ti2O7, a spin ice2,3. They have the remarkable property of remaining disordered at very... -
Membrane perturbation and permeabilization by the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH
Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal... -
FePS3 magnetic and crystal structure under pressure
We have metallised the two-dimensional honeycomb anti-ferromagnet FePS3 at 5.5 GPa. The mechanisms for metallisation, as well as the physical properties of the metallic state,... -
Unravelling the temperature-pressure phase diagram for the multiferroic, BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of the Lithium Ion Battery Cathodes Li2MS...
This application focuses on the study of two important lithium ion battery materials. We intend to use our newly developed cell design which allows for the cycling of battery... -
Kinetics of the ordering transition in ice Ih; crystal structure and thermal ...
Below 80 K ordinary water ice (ice Ih) undergoes a phase transition in which the randomly oriented molecules in the crystal adopt an ordered orientation. This ordered form of... -
Thermoelastic properties of ammonium sulfate, (ND4)2SO4, and the P-T dependen...
Ammonium sulfate exhibits a first-order phase transition upon cooling through ~ 224 K at room pressure, from a paraelectric to a ferroelectric crysta. There are outstanding... -
Hydrates in the binary system waterdimethylsulfoxide
Mixture of water and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) are useful as preservative liquids for the storage of living cells at very low temperatures, such that they can be revived and used... -

Magnetic excitation spectrum of a potential spin liquid candidate
PbCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor interaction couples the magnetic ions into... -
A total scattering study of the phase transitions in the hybrid organic-inorg...
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are interesting candidates for a range of applications, from solar cells to light emitting diodes and lasers. For the latter applications... -
Humidity Effects on Surface Segregation in Plasticized Poly-Vinyl Alcohol Films
PVA film is widely used as a non-toxic water soluble polymer. This proposal relates to its use in unit dose detergent pouches where plasticised PVA film stores a concentrated...
