Structural and magnetic orders in Ga-V oxide spinels
In certain materials, notably with the spinel structure, orbital ordering can result in the formation of a ground state with electrons delocalising between small numbers of... -
The effect of pressure on the hydrogen bonding in ammonium formate
We propose to investigate the changes that occur in the structure of ammonium formate as a function of pressure. This is the simplest system in which the oxygen atoms of a... -
Heterogenous reactions between gas-phase hydroxyl radicals and organic films ...
Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects.... -
Structure and encapsulation of additives in spray coated surfactant templated...
This proposal continues our work into surfactant templated films formed from surfactant/polyelectrolyte solutions. Recently we have been studying the encapsulation of... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
Investigation of the hydrogen-bonded zero area expansion material 4-chloroimi...
We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole a material which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion. This is believed from our initial X-ray data to be due... -
Mimicking Pathogens : Floating Gram Negative Bacterial Membranes Containing t...
Recently we have been able to show two advances in the creation of realistic models of the Gram negative bacterial outer surface for use in biophysical and structural studies.... -

Exploring Polymer Vibrations under Extreme Confinement: Substrate Effects
We seek to explore extreme confinement on the vibrational density of states of polyethylene oxide (PEO) over a wide energy-transfer range (10-3000 cm-1). These experiments are... -
Characterization of local symmetry breaking in superconducting La2-xBaxCuO4 &...
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the... -
The effect of membrane fluidity on the interaction of antimicrobial proteins ...
Protein-lipid\membrane interactions are fundamentally important to biological processes. We have examined the role protein hydrophobicity in protein-membrane interactions... -
In-situ characterisation of mixed steel powders during simulated powder proce...
It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High... -
Dynamical Signatures of Quantum Spin Ice in Tb2Ti2O7
We propose the first neutron scattering experiment on the frustrated magnet Tb2Ti2O7 in the presence of a magnetic field along [111]. This will allow us to uncover signatures of... -
Pair distribution function analysis of stacking disorder in ice
Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic... -
In situ studies on the decomposition of NaNH2 and possible formation of Na2NH.
Group 1 amides of general formula MNH2 are some of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage applications due to their relatively low temperatures of hydrogen evolution... -
Structural distortions and partial order in the selenate and chromate analogu...
The mineral mirabilite (di-sodium sulfate decahydrate) has been extensively studied by X-ray and neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction methods. The structure contains an... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -
Anionic surfactant induced desorption of cationic surfactants from anionic su...
In this proposal, we request beamtime to study the unexpected behaviour of a strongly bound bilayer of the cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide on the anionic...
