We propose a continuation of the determine the bronze composition of the different parts of three Renaissance Bronzes. These bronzes are of mutiple parts which have been joined...

In this proposal we would like to study the dynamics of interlayer species in hydrotalcite clay: (a) water and (b) terephthalate anions. In the case of water, the aim is to...

We request GEM beamtime to study the structure of a series of calcium germanate glasses. The changes in coordination number and properties which occur in alkali germanate...

This experiment will determine the influence of second phase precipitation on subsequent post heat treatment cold compression for heat treatable aluminium alloys. Immersion...

This proposal intends to investigate two ideas relating to TRIP steels in one experiment. Firstly, in-situ cooling under constant elastic stress will be performed to determine...

We aim use SANS to study in situ structure of solutions of uncharged and charged graphene formed by dissolving graphite and graphite intercalation compounds. We wish to compare...

Gram negative bacteria cause a wide range of diseases including meningitis, bubonic plague, gonorrhoea, diarrhoea, Legionnaires' disease and cholera. Their outer membrane...

In this proposal we would like to study the structure of polar aprotic and aromatic liquids using H/D and 15N/*N isotopic labelling on SANDALS. The molecules chosen for study...

Polymer therapeutic describes polymeric drugs, polymer-drug conjugates, polymer-protein conjugates, polymeric micelles to which drug is covalently bound, and multicomponent...

Nuclear power generation plants undergo start-up/shut-down load-temperature cycles during normal service operation. Components operating at temperatures in the creep regime can...

There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based...

We propose to fully characterise the proton quantum dynamics in oriented ice, grown on Pt surface, via DINS experiment and quantum ¿mechanical calculation, using path integral...

We have a long established interest in the materials used for the immobilisation of nuclear waste from the domestic power industry and legacy waste from various defence...

While peripheral membrane protein-lipid interactions were originally considered to be solely electrostatic in nature, it is now accepted that they encompass more complicated,...

Q&P heat-treatments typically consist of an ¿Austenitisation - Interrupted Quench ¿ Partition ¿ Final Quench¿ heat treatment process. During the partitioning stage carbon...

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric...

Hexagonal YMnO3 is a well-studied, but poorly understood, multiferroic material, which adopts the 'geometric' mechanism of ferroelectric distortion, rather than the more normal...

The aim of the present proposal is to establish the structure of the ferroelectric phase of CdTiO3 and to determine the nature of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase...

We propose an investigation in which the crystal structure of Fe2(CO)9 will be studied as a function of pressure. This compound has previously been investigated by high pressure...

In collaboration with an industrial partner, the PI is seeking to use INS to help characterise a series of catalysts active for the important Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process. As...
