In-situ reflectometry studies of hydrogen cycling in Mg/Ti multilayers
We ask for 3 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in two Mg/Ti multilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand... -
Study on the dynamical spin equilibrium of (n-C2H5)4N[ZnIIFeIII(C2O3S)3] unde...
The main purpose of this proposed experiment is to investigate the time scale of the dynamical spin equilibrium for the iron(III) site in (n-C2H5)4N[ZnIIFeIII(mto)3] (mto =... -
Temperature Variation of Stresses in a W-Cu Composite under Compressive Loading
The aim is to make in-situ measurements of the strains in both the tungsten matrix and the copper infiltrate in the mechanical testing machine on ENGIN-X. Mechanical tests will... -
Technological study of Nuragic Bronze boat models (Sardinia, Italy)
The production of Nuragic Bronze Figurines represents a rich historical archive that provides key information not only about the iconography but also about the metal production... -
Structural studies of water under negative pressure
Structural studies of water have been made for a wide range of states but little work has been made for ¿stretched water¿, i.e. under negative pressure. This state may be... -
Interfacial structures between Nafion and Platinum under controlled electroch...
We wish to propose a neutron reflectivity (NR) experiment for a Nafion/platinum interface under controlled electrochemical potential, because NR is the only technique to study... -
Polystyrene latex - 'single crystal' structure studies and melting under flow
For deionised, charge stabilised latices, there has been some uncertainty about the stacking sequence of close packed layers in samples at equilibrium. The ABCA stacking in... -
The influence of transmembrane potential on the orientation of antimicrobial ...
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... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental... -
High-pressure studies of energetic materials
This proposal seeks to identify and characterise high-pressure polymorphs of the energetic materials hydroxylammonium perchlorate, CL-20, diaminodinitroethene (FOX-7), and... -
Diffusive behavior in battery materials under electric field
Lithium diffusion in magnetic materials is found to be well detected by muon-spin spectroscopy. However, such a diffusive behavior has been measured without potential gradient,... -
Surface structures of polycations in confined geometries
A second-generation surface force style apparatus has been developed to probe the inter-surface and near-surface structures under compressive forces. Systems of current academic... -
High-pressure and variable-temperature studies of RDX
Previous studies have suggested that a high-pressure form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX can be obtained above ~4 GPa and 488 K. This phase is reported to be... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction Measur...
Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend... -
Oxygen Vacancy Clusters in Pure and Doped CeO2-d
Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic... -
Transformations in B2O3 glass under pressure
B2O3 is a prototypical glass forming oxide material and is an essential component in many industrial glasses. Unlike SiO2 and GeO2 its structure under ambient conditions is not... -
Ternary Molybdenum Carbonitrides for anion transfer catalysis; Structure, Mob...
We are undertaking a study of the mobility of nitrogen and carbon atoms in metal carbo-nitride catalysts, specifically in the cobalt molybdenum system: Co-Mo-C-N (where... -
