We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies of the adsorption, activation and reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (lignin models)...

The frustration of triangular antiferromagnets with isotropic interactions leads to a variety of ground states even for classical spins. In regions where several classical...

Following our previous study of adsorption of globular lysozyme and BSA at the oil/water interface by neutron reflection, we continue to explore how unfolding of globular...

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a material with extremely wide ranging applications. It is a ferrimagnetic spinel with the narrowest ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of any known...

A process known as ‘molecular surgery’ enables the synthesis of the fullerene C60 enclosing a small molecule such as H2, H2O, HF and CH4. The caged molecules in these ‘molecular...

pH-responsive polymer brushes comprise of long polymer chains of either a weak acid or base chemically attached to a surface. Depending upon the degree of ionisation along the...

Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the...

High internal phase aqueous-in-oil emulsions prepared by oil-soluble polyisobutylenesuccinicanhydride (PIBSA) with a water-soluble co-surfactant n-alkylpolyacrylamide (PAM)...

The perovskite-structured phases and their associated phase transitions remain an enduring topic of study within the solid state sciences due to their importance in both applied...

In high-voltage electronics, heat dissipation is a major challenge. Ideally the materials in these devices will have a high thermal conductivity; a property determined by...

Polyoxometallates (POM) are well defined transition metal clusters with a range of interesting catalytic, magnetic and optical properties. To make efficient use of these...

During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form...

In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

Fatigue is a major concern in the lifetime of wind turbine components and is one of the most important design parameters in wind power from a structural point of view. The...

Justification: We'd like to apply for three days Director’s Discretionary time on WISH to continue the experiment on measures of quantum entanglement in a model 1D magnet. This...

We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in...

Raney-nickel type catalysts are some of the most versatile technical agents for efficient hydrogenation reactions. Raney-type catalysts based on Fe, Co, Ru and other metals have...

It is difficult for the naked external gene to become internalized due to its similar charge to the extracellular membrane surface. Various cationic copolymers and cationic...

In this proposal, we want to explore the superconducting properties of noncentrosymmetric superconductors Re5.5Ta along with pure Re (99.99%) to understand the role of Re in...

In recent years topologically complex materials have provoked questions about the basic models of magnetism. These materials have given rise to unusual phenomena, including...
