We request 3 days on HRPD with the IGAn apparatus, to perform in-situ neutron diffraction and thermogravimetric studies of the decomposition of deuterated alkaline amidoboranes....

Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon...

The aim of this proposal is to determine that materials that are present in the ammoniation of amides.

A3-3 matrix material is the semi-graphitc composite used in high-temperature nuclear reactors to form fuel compounds containing coated particle fuel. In a CO2 cooled reactor,...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

Neutron reflectometry (NR) is a very powerful technique for the study of thin layers. It is able to measure composition, thickness and roughness and is a very penetrating...

On exposure to ammonia, LiBD4 and Mg(BD4)2 form the respective ammoniates, Li(11)BD4(ND3)n and Mg((11)BD4)2(ND3)6. We have identified the decomposition temperatures, kinetics...

We request 3 days on TOSCA to study molecular rotations of NH4+ and BH4- ions and the ionic disorder in ammonium borohydride (rock salt lattice) and its methylated derivative....

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...

We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand...

The goal of this proposal is to measure the diffuse scattering in Beta-Ti Gum Metal. We have measured the phonon dispersion curves and have found several soft-phonon anomalies...

Our recent experiment showed that muons implanted into black phosphorus (the most stable allotrope of the element, with a low band gap of 0.3eV) are apparently diamagnetic, with...

We have shown that the molecular ionic solids MI3 (M=Tl, Cs, Tl, NH4) undergo structural phase transitions below 3.4 GPa at RT to give the same new high pressure phase (HP) with...

Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to...

We propose to study a range of new lower energy gap organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials deposited by spray coating using neutron reflectivity. The new materials to be studied...

We propose to study thin-film blends of the polymer:fullerene system PTB7:PC70BM using neutron reflectivity (NR). This system currently exhibits the highest power conversion...

The key to the use of polymer vesicles as effective molecular delivery systems is in the ability to efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like...

We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -...

We propose a high-pressure powder neutron diffraction study of the simple donor-acceptor complexes (C5D5N)...ICl and (C5D5N)...IBr . These are the simplest structurally...
