The objective of the proposed experiment is to develop an understanding of the Li/Ni/Mn ordering in a commercially relevant lithium ion battery positive electrode,... -
Simultaneous Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy and Neutron Diffraction Measur...
Ammonia has been proposed as a high density chemical energy-storage media, which can be safely and reversible stored within low cost saline halides. Here we propose to extend... -
Assessing a new system of hard sphere colloids using spin-echo SANS
We have recently developed a new system of refractive-index matched nanoparticles. This system has advantages over a extensively used one of polymer latexes; ours 1) can be... -
Proton diffusion in lithium imide: a quasi-elastic neutron scattering study
Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the... -
In situ studies of mixed-phase oxygen transport membranes
The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen... -
Observation of low energy modes of adsorbed CO on a catalyst
Carbon monoxide occurs widely in industry in many roles. It is a feedstock for methanol synthesis and in Fischer-Tropsch chemistry for synthetic petrol and diesel. It is a... -

In-situ Neutron Diffraction Studies of Lithium Battery Materials
This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have... -
Gas-phase oxidation of insoluble monolayer at air-water interface with no equ...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
In-situ studies of alkaline earth nitride deuterides
Heavy alkaline earth nitride hydrides (AE2NH, with AE = Ca and Ba) are of interest due to their potential suitability as electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical... -
Structural determination of non-stoichiomentric phases Li2+yND for 0<y<1
In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of... -
Magnetic frustration induced by applied magnetic fields in CeRhIn5
Quantum critical points (QCPs) have attracted continuous scientific interest due to the emergent phenomena observed in their vicinity, including unconventional superconductivity... -
Investigating the formation of novel mixed amide-imide complexes and understa...
Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of... -
Stroboscopic Neutron and X-ray mapping of strain fields in dynamically loaded...
Bearings are essential components in many types of machinery, working to reduce energy losses. Over the last century improved analytical models were developed for predicting the... -
Test of a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrothermal Cell
The objectives of this proposal is to seek 2 days on POLARIS in order to test and complete a full commissioning of the latest design of our prototype in-situ reaction cell for... -
Search for Neutron Spin Resonance and High Energy Spin Excitations in Exotic ...
Neutron spin resonance mode is a common feature in different classes of magnetic superconductors; nonetheless, the microscopic origin of the mode is still unclear. In general,... -
Structure of Cellulose Nanofibril Gels with Alcohols
Our group has been working partially oxidized cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Recently we have observed that these fibrils also gel when dialysed... -
Characterising the amorphicity and porosity of ice aggregates in planet-formi...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...
