Is H-bonding the source of large heats of fusion in guanidinium based thermal...
The organic salt guanidinium mesylate [Gdm][CH3SO3] is a promising phase change material for thermal energy storage applications. It has melting point Tm = 208 °C, and... -
Magnetic and Quadrupolar Excitations in UPd3
UPd3 exhibits four antiferroquadrupolar (AFQ) ordered phases below T0=7.6K. We have determined their order parameters using resonant x-ray diffraction. UPd3 has the dhcp crystal... -
In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of Lithium Battery Materials
This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have... -
Structural origin of anomalous relaxation behaviour in alcohol-water mixtures
In recent dielectric and calorimetric studies of some alcohol-water mixtures we have discovered unexpected and unexplained relaxation behaviours. Our aim with this proposal is... -
Dispersed lamellar phases in dense CO2
This proposal aims to explore these dispersed lamellar phases with a variety of F7H4 derivatives,to help understand their formation in supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2). The focus is... -
Mapping the magnon spectra in the skyrmion phase of MnSi
In cubic B20 structures, skyrmions, topologically-protected three-dimensional spin textures, arise from competition of the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and the... -

Development of new cryopreservation strategies has major potential in medicine and agriculture, and is critical to the conservation of endangered species that currently cannot... -
Local Structure in (K,Na)NbO3 Piezoelectric Ceramics
KxNa1-xNbO3 (KNN)-based solid solutions are promising lead-free piezoelectrics for ceramic actuators. In this system, the long-range order of octahedral rotations and... -
Nanosuspsomicroemulsions: nanosuspension stabilty
At Kings College London we have recently developed a novel combination formulation, a nanosuspsomicroemulsion (NSME), comprising of a microemulsion (ME) containing one drug and... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural and magnetic properties in LaFeO3
This proposal is concerned with determining variations in the high pressure crystallographic and magnetic structure of LaFeO3. LaFeO3 is a characteristic example of... -
Structures of metastable water ice XVII with different guests molecules
Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice... -
Quantitative characterization of carbon steel reference samples: creation of ...
The use of quantitative analytical techniques to investigate the properties of steel artefacts is of great importance both in modern and historical metallurgy. A promising... -
Muonium in alpha-boron
Previous muon experiments have identified a muonium state in the commonly occuring, but complex, beta rhombohedral form of elemental boron. To complement recent theoretical work...
