Micro-, Meso-, Macro- Structure and Dynamics of Biocompatible Dental Glass Io...
Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and... -
Competition at the nanoparticle surface: one polymer, two surfactants, many p...
Polymers and surfactants are key components in detergency. Understanding their interactions is essential to formulate smartly. Detergent formulations usually contain a mixture... -
Magnetic Excitations in YbNiSn
YbNiSn is an Ising ferromagnet with non-colinear spins that undergoes a first order magnetic transition in low magnetic field (0.9 T). The transition is associated with strong... -
Kinetics of surfactant multilayer formation / dissolution at interfaces
The formation of multilayer structures at surfaces and interfaces from self-assembly in mixed surfactant and in polymer / surfactant mixtures has been recently reported, and... -
Neutron Total Scattering Investigation of Temperature Driven Transitions in L...
This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven... -
Simltaneous dielectric spectroscopy and neutron diffraction
We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Studies of local order and clustering in (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 Perovskites
We propose total scattering experiments on samples of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 perovskites with x = 0, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.15 to resolve issues over the local structure and degree of... -
Cation ordering in silicate spinel Ni2SiO4
Silicate spinels are important minerals in the transition zone region of the Earth and in order to understand seismic signals from these depths (550-660 km) we need to know the... -
In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Fine structure of a confined quantum translator-rotator probed with high-reso...
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... -
OCV hysteresis in nickel metal hydride batteries
NiMH batteries exhibit a hysteresis, or path dependence, regarding the rest voltage of the system. Depending on charge/discharge history of the battery the rest voltage will be... -

Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
High resolution neutron diffraction study to investigate temperature dependen...
The crystal structure of the intermetallic PrFe2Al8 consists of a network of Al which forms quasi cage-like structure where the Pr and the Fe form chains of atoms along the... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...
