Structural studies of nanoporous carbons and a carbon molecular sieve
This project determines the nanoscale structure of carbide derived carbon, as well as a carbon molecular sieve, by hybrid reverse Monte Carlo simulation. Our simulation will fit... -
Adamantane in amorphous ice: A nanoprobe for detecting sintering, glass-trans...
Ice and carbon exist in vast quantities in our Universe. In fact, they often coexist, and form interfaces in highly diverse settings and environments. These include, for... -
The microscopic structure of the acetone - chloroform azeotrope
The acetone - chloroform system is the classic textbook example of a negative-pressure azeotrope, i.e. the vapour pressures of the binary mixtures are lower than expected for... -
Thermal expansion studies of metallic glasses showing magnetocaloric effect
The main aim of our proposal is investigation of thermally induced volume changes occurring in short range order of amorphous pseudo-binary Fe(Mn)-B alloys in the vicinity of... -
Solvent-gelator interactions in supramolecular gels
An intriguing case of self assembly is the formation of supramolecular gels. Small organic "gelator" molecules in solution self assemble into a fibrous network which forms gels... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium sulfate
Amorphous calcium sulfate (ACS) is transitory phase in the precipitation of calcium sulfate minerals such as gypsum. ACS is also be present in mineral systems which may be... -
Understanding Short Strong Hydrogen Bonds between Anions in Non-Aqueous Solve...
It is undeniable that hydrogen bonding plays a fundamental role in all biological systems. Not only is hydrogen bonding between water and bio-molecules important, but the more... -
Influence of Zn and Ca on the local structure of silico-aluminate glasses
Glasses used as glazes for ceramic bodies will be studied as a function of their composition, with emphasis on two elements, such as Ca and Zn, that show the largest influence... -
Structural change of Ni-Zr amorphous alloy due to the deuterium absorption
It is well known that Ni-Zr amorphous alloys are highly resistant to pulverization due to the repetition of the hydrogen absorption and desorption unlike Ni-Zr crystalline... -
Supramolecular assemblies of arginine and their impact on protein aggregation
Arginine is an important molecule which utilised in industrial, biochemical and medical research to aid in the successful refolding of proteins and to resist the effects of... -
Structures of Gel Precursors of Nanoporous Materials
Our aim is to examine the structures of disordered gel precursors to nanoporous zeolites that are formed in the early stages of hydrothermal reactions. They are considered to be... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous FePO4 and LiFePO4
We are convinced that a careful study of the atomic structure of a-FePO4 would provide very interesting insights into several phosphate systems, including phosphate glass... -
High pressure for liquids project on SANDALS
This beamtime request is part of a long term project based on the liquids diffractometer SANDALS and aimed at developing the use of Paris-Edinburgh press for liquids and in... -

Determination of fullerene-polymer interactions
Fullerenes often produce very dramatic improvements to polymer properties, but their limited miscibility with polymers is often a severe restriction to the general utility. We... -
Interaction of the counteracting osmolytes TMAO and urea in aqueous solutions
TMAO is a naturally occurring protecting osmolyte which stabilizes proteins and influences intermolecular interactions. Like some other osmolytes it counteracts the effects of... -
Solvation and structure of lithium in bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide bas...
The use of ionic liquids for electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, dye sensitised solar cells and lithium ion batteries has led to significant advances in technology.... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
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.... -
Morphology of poly(ethylene-oxide)-ionic liquid mixtures: the role of hydroge...
We propose to explore the morphology of binary mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide), a biomimetic macromolecule, and two different ionic liquids, differing in their hydrogen bonding... -
Molecular interactions in amorphous paracetamol
The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we...
