Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
Understanding Sulphur and Nitrogen-Aromatic interactions from liquid structure
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Magnetostructural study of Percolation Behaviour in Double Perovskites Ba2Fe1...
We propose to use two days of beamtime on POLARIS to determine the structure and magnetic ordering that occurs in a series of cation-ordered perovskites. These cubic compounds... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Understanding the barocaloric effect in Mn3NiN using neutron diffraction
Materials with large caloric effects offer the opportunity to replace current refrigeration technologies that require the compression of hazardous gases. Whilst magnetocaloric... -
Revealing the structures of porous liquids
New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We... -
Cation ordered transtion metal oxides
LaCa2Fe2GaO8 adopts a 3-layer cation-ordered structure. Magnetisation data collected from this phase exhibit two high-temperature anomalies consistent with the onset of... -
The structure of water in halloysite nanotubes
Water is important in many scientific and technological areas, yet our understanding of this remarkable liquid remains very incomplete. In may cases, it is the properties of... -
Liquid structure of benzene-cyclohexane mixtures: A model of alkyl-aromatic i...
Understanding the energetics and structure of aromatic molecules (those containing benzene rings) is important to a large area of chemical science including protein and DNA... -
Test of a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrothermal Cell
The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for... -

Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons: Understanding liquid structure for benchmarking of...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high... -
Investigations of atomic and intermediate-range structure in model membranes
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... -
Structural and magnetic studies of the alkali sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6
The mixed-valence sesquioxides A4O6 (A = alkali metal) are particularly intriguing magneticmaterials comprising of non-magnetic (O2)2- and magnetic (O2)- anions. Recent... -
Temperature-Dependent Structural Changes in Liquid Benzene
The non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings are of fundamental importance in large number biological and chemical processes. The local structure of aromatic liquids is... -
Study of the reorganization of DES upon dilution with Benzylalcohol
Nanoporous carbons are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is difficult to predict. Our... -
Total scattering studies of 7Li bearing polytriazine imide (PTI) carbon nitri...
In this proposal total scattering measurements will be performed on a low dimensional carbon nitride (PTI) material intercalated with lithium and chlorine. These low dimensional... -
Liquid Structure of Amino Acid Ionic Liquids Based on a Spectator Cation
Ionic liquids based on biocompatible ions such as amino acids are of significant interest since they offer access to a lower-cost and lower-toxicity family of green solvents for... -
Local ordering of DMF solvents around graphitic carbon nitride nanoparticles.
When materials are dissolved in solvents the solvent can become ordered around the solute, usually considered to be an ion that is a single atomic ion or a molecular ion. For... -
Structure of myoglobin-sugar-water systems
This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the...
