Previous work by the experimental team has successfully examined methane reforming catalysts using CO2 as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the progression to using steam as the...

The aim of the present proposal is to investigate the mechanism of CO oxidation over hydrous palladium oxide, both directly and indirectly. For the direct route, the sample will...

In this proposal we want to address the issue of the identification of the different muonium adducts that are possible in Alq3 without any crystallographic constraints, and...

Clay barriers are routinely used in nuclear waste repositories to isolate radionuclides from the biosphere. Such barriers have to be carefully designed to remain effective for...

Antique bronze objects made of Cu-Sn/Cu-Zn alloys have been widely characterised; unfortunately, the employment of binary alloys gave way to the use of more common ternary...

Natural antimicrobials are of great interest, since they are antibiotics that act on the biological membrane, and it is believed that this makes it far more difficult for...

Recently De Haan et al. described the phase-object approximation for small angle neutron scattering. This method can be extended towards neutron reflectometry. Prelimenary...

This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...

With the advent of TS-II, there is a drive to probe more complex and multicomponent systems using neutron reflectivity. In such studies, confidence associated with model Nb fits...

This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited...

Proteasome plays an important role in the processing of antigenenic proteins for presentation by the MHC class I pathway. PA28 is an activator of the 20S proteasome, a large...

In the piezoelectric ceramic material PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) there is controversy about the structure of PZT at the Zr-rich end. This region has always been considered to be of...

We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be...

A novel analytical approach has been developed to assess the plasticity induced error in residual stress (RS) distributions measured by the contour method (CM) for which...

Previous experiments at ENGIN-X (Wenk et al. 2007) established that quartz rocks undergo mechanical twinning if stressed above 100 MPa. The amount of twinning is highly...

In the present proposal neutron reflectivity will be used in combination with contrast variation to detect changes in the presence (and size) of microdomains in monolayer films...

In this proposal, we plan to explore the possibility of developing a non-invasive H-isotopes quantification method based on Deep Inelastic Neuron Scattering (DINS) to be applied...

One method by which the efficiency of gas turbine engines may be improved is by increasing the gas stream temperature on entry to the turbine. Currently this temperature is...

NMR has become an extremely sophisticated experimental technique because of the use of pulse sequences which allow the control and manipulation of a nuclear spin system or...

Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...
