Testing the Validity of Models to Describe the Protein Dynamics from EFWS data
Zaccai et al. proposed to build up a neutron Dynamics Data Bank which would be populated with dynamical data of biological macromolecules measured with different techniques,... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -
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... -
Coupling between magnons and phonons in multiferroic tellurides Co3TeO6 and N...
The tellurides, M3TeO6, were recently reported as multiferroic The materials show complex behaviour with a series of commensurate and incommensurate antiferromagnetic phases... -
High Pressure Neutron Diffraction Study of the Organic-Inorganic Perovskite P...
The organic-inorganic perovsike (OIP) methylammonium lead iodide, MAPbI3, has been identified as a promising candidate for the development of efficient solid-state solar cells.... -
Unraveling Local Structure in Pseudocubic Perovskite Solid Solutions
Recently, several perovskite-like ceramic-oxide solid solutions featuring pseudocubic symmetry have been reported to exhibit technologically promising dielectric and... -
Investigation of the impact of mechanical twinning on the thermal expansion b...
We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite.... -
Conformations in partially mixed block copolymers of partially deuterated pol...
Nascent 'disentangled' block copolymers of Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) with a reduced number of entanglements were synthesized having protonated (hPE) and... -
In-situ investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content.... -
A variable temperature study of polymorphism in Li2MSiO4 electrode materials
There is great interest in scaling up Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles, requiring cheap and safe cathodes. Recently, silicate-based cathodes have been described,... -
Determination of the low temperature crystal structure of Fe3O4
The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of... -
Equations of state of D2O ice III and ice V
The high-pressure forms of ice, phases III and V, are the equilibrium solids in contact with liquid water at pressures between 2.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, their properties are... -
The elusive ¿cubic¿ phase of BiFeO3 and related materials
We wish to probe the suggested existence of a high-temperature cubic perovskite phase in the multiferroic material BiFe0.7Mn0.3O3. The parent phase of this material, BiFeO3, was... -
Anhysteretic superelastic behaviour in Shape Memory alloys at transcritical t...
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a special kind of active materials in which the martensitic transformation (MT) is the basis of the peculiar superelastic, and shape memory... -
