The selective oxidation of saturated C-H bonds is a crucial step in many industrial processes. Recent we have discovered an alternative green one-step route for the selective...

Layered Na2Ti3O7 has shown promising electrochemical performance to be used as anode material in room temperature sodium ion batteries. We have synthesized several phases in the...

This proposal concerns structural investigations on thermoelectric type-I clathrate compounds Ba8Ge43 and Cs8Sn44. Both compounds possess vacancies in their crystal structure...

We propose to make the first detailed structural study of some polymorphs of gallium oxide that remain poorly characterised and yet have applications in catalysis and are used...

We aim at obtaining reliable structural information for selected compounds from a series of four 9-methyltripticene derivatives. These compounds form in the solid state...

Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As...

The aim is to improve understanding about combinations of normal surfactants and hydrotropes in aqueous systems. This is to support our recent work with but in non-aqueous...

It was thought that oxides could not intercalate Li below 1.5V vs Li+/Li. We recently studied layered LiVO2, which intercalates Li at around 0.25V to form Li2VO2, making it an...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to...

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...

This proposal requests neutron diffraction beamtime to study a series of novel metal fluorophosphates and acid pyrophosphates with potential as ionic conductors....

We propose to investigate the detailed spectroscopy of the expanded metal systems 7Li(NH3)4 and 7Li(ND3)4 by inelastic neutron scattering. 7Li(NH3)4 shows multiple phase...

In this work, we will investigate the structures (crystallographic and magnetic) of Mn5VO8 and a range of Fe containing perovskite oxide fluorides. In terms of the former, this...

We propose to study the temperature evolution of the spontaneous strain, crystal and magnetic structure of the charge ordered, mixed valence iron silicate ilvaite. In addition,...

Abstract. We request one day of beamtime on POLARIS to collect Neutron Diffraction (ND) data from a variety of ACu3Ti4O12-type perovskite-related compounds that exhibit higher...

This proposal relates to the structural studies of cationic surfactant adsorption on an iron oxide metal surface. The driving force for the adsorption of cationic surfactants to...

BiFeO3 attracts considerable attention because of its multiferroic and ferroelectric properties. Nd-substitutions in antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 induce a significant ferromagnetic...

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

Mesopotamian iron oxide objects in the form of Roll seals and Weight are typical for the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 2000-1600 B.C.). In the museums they are usually cataloged as...

Ammonia borane (AB) is a promising hydrogen storage material with up to 12 wt% obtainable from 100 to 150 C. Desorption temperatures can be lowered towards targets and kinetics...
