Effect of Composition on Local Environment of Sulphate in Silicate Glasses
We will study the effects of changes in composition and structure of alkali silicate and alkali-alkaline earth silicate glasses on its sulphate incorporation capacities. Total... -
Test experiment: Neutron diffraction on helium in silica
We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass... -
PDF study of the effect of synthesis conditions on the local structure of har...
Hard carbons are amongst the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, but their charge storage mechanisms are still poorly understood. Difficulties in... -
Structure-Property Relationships in Polymorphs of Mn(CN)2
We will determine the atomic and magnetic structure of two polymorphs of manganese cyanide, Mn(CN)2, which exhibit negative thermal expansion (NTE). The two forms are related;... -
Long-Range and Local Structures of New Pyrochlores and Fluorites
We propose to study by total neutron scattering the structures of some complex oxide materials prepared by new hydrothermal routes in order to construct structural models... -
Structural studies of bioactive yttrium doped alumino-silicate glasses.
Yttrium doped glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for use as in-vivo radioactive beta- emitters for localised treatment of liver cancer and other... -
Deuterium Site Determination in Quasicrystal Deuteride (Ti45Zr38Ni17)0.42D0.5...
We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the... -
The Structural Effects of adding TiO2 to Calcium Phosphate Glasses.
This study will investigate the structural effect of adding titanium oxide to a calcium phosphate bioactive glass. We wish to understand the structural origins of the increased... -
Atomic structure of 2NaY-Ga2S3 (Y = Cl, Br, I) liquids
Alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses MY-Ga2X3-GeX2 (M = Li, Na, Rb, Cs; Y = Cl, Br, I; X = S, Se) are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices, solid-state... -
Investigating the Structure of Lithium Doped Metal-Organic Framework Glasses
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a sub-family of MOFs, have recently been observed to melt, with the liquid surprisingly retaining the chemical composition of the... -
Direct measurement of the Au-D bond
Gold is historically thought of as an inert metal, and so investigation of its chemistry has been under-investigated. In 1986 it was shown that gold can be incredibly active as... -
Copy of: Determination of the population of sp2 and sp3 bond lengths in graph...
The aim of this proposal is to examine the relative population of sp2 and sp3 bonds in a small number of graphitic samples, given that the bond length is 1.42A for standard sp2... -
Study of the reaction mehanism for carbon-based FeF3 nanocomposites as cathod...
Metal fluoride materials, through the use nanocomposites, recently appear as potential candidates as next generation high energy density positive electrodes for Li-ion... -
Investigating the local structure of sodium within Bioglass®.
Bioactive glasses are of considerable interest due to their potential for biomedical applications. In order to model the behaviour and dissolution of these materials it is... -
Neutron PDF Analysis of Solid Methylaluminoxane as an Activating Catalyst Sup...
Methylaluminoxane (MAO) is the most commonly used activator and co-catalyst for transition metal complexes in olefin polymerisation reactions. Despite its widespread use, there... -
Structural Phase Transition with a Large Volume Change in (Bi,Nd)FeO3
BiFeO3 attracts considerable attention because of its multiferroic and ferroelectric properties. Nd-substitutions in antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 induce a significant ferromagnetic... -
Local structure of liquid gallium-iodine and gallium-indium
Liquid metal alloys, with liquidus temperatures close to room temperature, are a rapidly developing research area with novel applications in renewable energy, catalysis,... -
