Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Volume isotope effect in recovered ice VIII
Water is the most fundamental hydrogen-bonded compound on Earth and its physical properties are essential for research areas ranging from live sciences to planetology. In this... -
The possibility of strongly ferromagnetic austenite in a stainless steel
It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =... -
Assembly of supramolecular nanotubes into tubisome structures from self-assem...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for biomedical applications. Recently, we have conjugated a... -
Sensing Sulphur Dioxide in Robust Porous MOF Materials via Simultaneous Micro...
We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data... -
Dynamics of an antimicrobial oligopeptide
Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30... -
Cellulose-based polyelectrolytes for microencapsulation: conformational trans...
Addition of multivalent salts to water soluble polyelectrolytes, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), induces conformational change to the polyelectrolyte structure,... -
Pressure-driven transformation of the Al coordination environment in oxide glass
In situ high-pressure neutron diffraction will be used to investigate the pressure-induced transformation of the Al coordination environment in a prototypical aluminosilicate... -
Quantitative Benchmarks of state-of-art Neutron Chemical Spectrometers - Part...
We request 4 days on TOSCA to investigate the instrumental performance of the spectrometer, and to create from scratch an ad-hoc database for instrument-model validation.Two... -
Arctic Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" oxidize material at air-w...
The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Zero field splitting and quasiparticle breakdown in the two-dimensional quant...
In our recent NRSE experiment on the quasi two-dimensional quantum spin liquid PHCC at TRISP at FRM-II, we have found a zero field splitting (ZFS) of the magnon line of about 50... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
Low energy excitations in solid 4He
The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the... -
Penetration and reaction of hydroxyl radical into organic films at the air-wa...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
Field dependence of Magnetic Excitations in the Hyperkagome Spin Liquid Candi...
We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have... -
Assessing a potential method to form kinetically trapped, self-assembling nan...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
Comparing hydrogen densification in microporous carbons with slit and cylindr...
Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. In this proposal, we seek to...
