Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the... -
In-situ studies of thermal electrochemical cells utilising transition metal s...
Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary... -
Commissioning of High Temerature Furnace
The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra... -
Equation of state and phase transitions of the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Despite being the material showing the largest isotropic NTE, Cd(CN)2 is remarkably little studied, particularly compared to isostructural Zn(CN)2 and the canonical NTE material... -
Evidence for long-range order in HoTbTi2O7
Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the... -
Diamond Experiment MT20586 "Incommensurate modulation in a multiferroic metal...
The metal formate perovskites have structural chemistry as diverse as their inorganic analogues; yet substantial areas of their phase diagrams, including phases with potentially... -

Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and... -
In-situ study of nickel recrystallization using neutron diffraction
The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will... -
Monitoring of KTiOPO4 Crystallization with a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrot...
This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to fully complete the commissioning of a large volume in-situ reaction cell for studying hydrothermal chemical syntheses in... -
New high pressure hydrates for energy applications.
The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen... -
Microstructural orientation mapping with a neutron beam
We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have... -
Ba3MoNbO8.5 novel oxide ion conductor: Direct observation of oxide ion dynamics
Oxide ion conductors are researched as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells. Yttria-stabilized zirconia is the currently used electrolyte in SOFCs, leading to high operating... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
Field dependence of Magnetic Excitations in the Hyperkagome Spin Liquid Candi...
We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have... -
Penetration and reaction of hydroxyl radical into organic films at the air-wa...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and...
