Barium hydride is a of interest due to its high hydride ion conductivity, which would make it suitable as an electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical devices and...

We will exploit the unique capability of NIMROD to bring new understanding to the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are three key length scales: the first...

The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental...

We will investigate a series of aluminosilicate systems, zeolite chabazite, ZSM-5, Zeolite Y and Zeoltie A and determine the short and medium range order structures and the...

Our objective is to determine new structural information about the structure of amorphous silicate gels formed early in the synthesis of crystalline, microporous zeolites. This...

The interface between an aqueous ionic solution and a charged surface is known as the electrical double layer (EDL). A detailed knowledge of the structure developed in this...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered...

This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible...

We request 6 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering neutron diffraction data of aqueous solutions of paracetamol and caffeine. While much effort has gone into improving the...

When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size....

This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our...

We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are two key length scales:...

In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s...

High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In...

This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in...

A trial experiment is proposed to investigate the capability of wide Q-range neutron scattering techniques to probe the industrially important question of how low levels of...

The search for new porous materials is increasingly driven by a socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based...

This proposal is a continuation of prior combined NMR, SANS and diffraction measurements to characterise templated silicas, as part of a program to inform the behaviour of...

This proposal aims to further investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid...

We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment...
