Rotational dynamics in the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (NH4)2SO4
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies... -
Neutron scattering of coke deposits on catalytic samples - MAPS
Catalysts used for water-gas shift reactions, and other important industrial processes, often suffer from deposition of hydrocarbon and carbon species (coking) to reduce their... -
Composition dependent structure in mixtures of water and hydrogen bonded mono...
This is part of a project concerning the interplay between water and other H-bonded liquids using a range of complementary experimental techniques, e.g. dielectric spectroscopy,... -
Nanostructure definition in electrospun fibres of polymer blends
This proposal is part of a research programme which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning... -
Adsorption Structures of Organics additives at the Iron/Oil Interface and the...
Numerous chemical additives have been added to steel surfaces to improve adhesion, and prohibit corrosion if the substrate is reactive to its surrounding environs. This... -
High pressure behaviour of the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8.... -
A High-Pressure Low-Temperature Crystallographic Study of the Pm3m - I4/mcm F...
The perovskite-structured phases and their associated phase transitions remain an enduring topic of study within the solid state sciences due to their importance in both applied... -
Ionic mobility in soggy sand electrolytes
Ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increased interest as electrolytes given their thermal and chemical stability, wide electrochemical windows, and ionic conductivities. However,... -

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... -
Temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layers: a possible route to novel 2D ...
We propose to investigate the temperature dependence of magnetic dead-layer thickness in amorphous ferromagnetic CoFeTaB films on Si and GaAs semiconductor substrates. Magnetic... -
High-Energy dynamics and search for a continuum in CaFe2O4
We propose to investigate the high-energy (above 10 meV) excitations using either the MERLIN or MAPS chopper instruments. CaFe2O4 is interesting for several reasons. First, it... -
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... -
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... -
The Second Critical Point and Widom line of supercooled confined water
In 1992 P. Poole and coworkers have proposed the existence of two water polymorphs below its homogenous nucleation temperature. These are separated by a coexistence line ending... -
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... -
Probing chiral interactions in aqueous amino acid deriving polymers
Sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) is a low molecular weight gelator, widely known as one of the components of bile salts. Above a specific concentration, NaDC is able to form pH... -
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... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem SANDALS
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in... -
Uranium minerals at extreme conditions: a powder neutron diffraction study
As Fukushima and Chernobyl have demonstrated, the consequences of an accident in a nuclear power plant are international. Extreme conditions, far from thermodynamic control are...
