We propose to collect INS data with TOSCA on nanoparticles of CoO and Co3O4 with different levels of hydration and size to study the effect of these parameters on the heat...

Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent...

Upon the addition of Li to anhydrous ammonia, the famous Li-Ammonia solutions form through an intriguing metal-insulator transition. These have been studied intensely for many...

We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate...

Residual stresses (RSs) in welded structures are inevitable and it is vital that they are considered and quantitatively estimated when analysing cracking and fracture problems...

The outer membrane (OM) of gram negative bacteria is mainly constituted of highly polydisperse and amphiphilic lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin which is accompanied by...

We propose to use MARI to look at the full rotational spectrum of H2 in Ni-MOF-74 obtaining the full momentum distribution for H2 only at the Ni metal site and one with partial...

We have recently studied the surface segregations of amphiphilic block copolymers blended in a matrix of cross-linked poly(dimethyl siloxane). In this system, while the...

Bacterial LPS (endotoxin) is a key determinant of host/pathogen interactions. We propose to investigate the role of membrane lateral phase separation on LPS insertion into model...

We wish to investigate the origin of the promising thermoelectic performance of oxy-chalcogenides BiOCuQ (Q = S, Se, Te) and related phases. We wish to explore whether the low...

An investigation of the elastic and plastic anisotropy of polycrystal in the vicinity of the fatigue-crack tip is of both scientific and practical significance to promote a...

The aim of this proposal is to investigate the possible activation of luminescent silver clusters embedded in mesoporous matrices by neutron irradiation. This will expand the...

Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA). NRCA is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of...

The system NaNbO3 ¿ KNbO3 is one of the most widely studied as a ¿green¿ replacement for the piezoelectric material PZT (PbZr1-xTixO3). Despite its enormously growing...

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...

Titanium Matrix Composites have received intensive attentions in the past decade because of their high specific stiffness and strength and resistance to high temperature....

Neutron reflectometry will be used to probe the scattering length density profile in tethered films of block copolymers grafted onto silicon substrates. The tethered...

Neutron tomography data on high-Pb antique bronze coins indicated that two different copper alloy phases are formed during the casting process. We propose to use GEM for...

Amorphous calcium sulfate (ACS) is transitory phase in the precipitation of calcium sulfate minerals such as gypsum. ACS is also be present in mineral systems which may be...

INS provides an ideal probe to determine the vibrational density of states of water confined on the surface of metal-oxide nanoparticles from which the thermodynamic properties...
