Melting point dynamics of Confined fluids
This proposal aims to investigate the dynamics of the melting transition in H2O and CO2 when confined in a vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is... -
Phase Transitions and Orbital Ordering in SrRu1-xCuxO3.
This proposal seeks to establish the importance of orbital ordering on the stability of the tetragonal phase in Cu doped SrRiuO3. Orbital ordering is believed to be a... -
Exploration of the microscopic origins of thermal anomalies observed in molec...
It is a well established fact that several molecular liquids experiences a series of thermal anomalies as measured by microscopic and macroscopic techniques. A remarkable case... -
Local structure of the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (ND4)2SO4
Ammonium sulfate has a well-known order-disorder phase transition at -50 ºC: initially of interest for the ferroelectric behaviour in the low-temperature phase, this has... -
Reorientational dynamics in a low-dimensional glass
Most of the features exhibited by canonical glass-formers can also be found in systems with a high-degree of translational order. In addition to the well-known orientationally... -
Structural phase diagram of hydrated silks
The formation of silk fibres in both spiders and silkworms is characterized by a conversion of short range ordered structures in solution into long range ordered beta-sheet rich... -
Characterising new high-pressure phases of ammonia monohydrate
Over the past two years I have carried out high-pressure surveys of the ammonia monohydrate (AMH) phase diagram using a Paris-Edinburgh press mounted on the D20 beam-line at the... -
Dynamics of Water on Surface of Reverse Osmotic Membranes
We are proposing 10 days of beamtime on IRIS to investigate the diffusion process of H2O molecules adsorbed on polyamide, surface material of reverse osmotic membranes currently... -
Study of pore-confined CO2 depletion below the bulk triple point
Freezing of fluids confined at the nanoscale is of great importance for the understanding of their behaviour due to the confinement effects arising from the finite pore size and... -
Water diffusion mechanism in hydrated amorphous calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonates are highly important in geochemistry and especially in biomineralization. In nature, organisms can form each of the anhydrous polymorphs selectively for... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterisation of New Polar Oxides with Weak Ferrom...
The synthesis of a phase combining electrical polarisation P and spontaneous magnetisation M is hard because of the distinct electronic structure requirements for the main... -
QENS on Halide Stabilized LiBH4
LiBH4, is an ionic solid, consisting of Li+ and BH4- ions. It undergoes a structural phase transition at 383K. Within the HT phase, the BH4-units undergo rapid re-orientations,... -
Thermal fluctuations of cold shock proteins from different flavours of extrem...
Extremophiles are organisms which survive and thrive in extreme environments. The proteins from extremophilic organisms have received considerable attention as they are... -
Dynamics of a New and High Performance Proton Conductor ZnADP.3H2O
We propose to measure the dynamics in ZnADP¿3H2O, a new and high performance material that exhibits proton conductivity as high as Nafion membranes, which is the best commercial... -
Water dynamics in dental zinc cement by quasi-elastic neutron scattering
Zinc phosphate cements (ZPCs) are used in dentistry. Cement formulation (liquid+solid) is largely empirical because of lack of information on the exact chemical nature of the... -
QENS on Lightweight Borohydrides
We propose to study two aspects of the hydrogen dynamics in complex hydrides:First: The structural transitions in borohydrides are believed to be connected with an increase in... -

Diffraction investigation of cyclic molecules on surfaces of different symmetry
The wetting of solid surfaces by gases and liquids is both fundamentally and technologically important especially in the areas of energy storage and conversion, e.g. catalysis.... -
Investigation of the Dynamic Mechanism of Xylanase by QENS
In this proposal we will pioneer the use of QENS in combination with molecular biology mutagenesis and in silico design to guide the re-engineering of a glycoside hydrolase,... -
Copy of: Neutron Diffraction study of the monolayer structures of cyclohexane...
Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...
