In this proposal we will study the average and local structure changes in Li-N-D imide-amides formed as intermediates during the ammoniation of Li3N and deammoniation of LiND2....

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structure and phase transitions of XNbOP2O7 (X = Rb and ND4). These materials have been shown to undergo...

We request GEM beamtime to study the structure of a series of calcium germanate glasses. The changes in coordination number and properties which occur in alkali germanate...

We have successfully synthesised materials based on naturally occurring minerals and structurally related phases with the formula, Cu2(OH)3X where X is an anion. Phases with the...

Adsorption of a charged polyelectrolyte onto an oppositely charged substrate is important for the understanding of many natural molecular events as well as for the development...

In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

Niobium is one of the candidates for causing strong non-linear optical properties in oxide glasses. Recently, Raman gain experiments on niobium phosphate glasses were quite...

The aim of this collaborative proposal is to unravel micro- and nano-structures underlying unusually high solution viscosities from mixed surfactant systems. SANS is a unique...

Adsorption of a charged polyelectrolyte onto an oppositely charged substrate is important for the understanding of many natural molecular events as well as for the development...

This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to investigate the crystal and magnetic structure of the cobalt adipate framework, Co(CO2(CH2)4CO2), at lower...

Peptide surfactants are a group of interesting biomimetic amphiphiles capable of forming a range of nanostructures. The aim of this work is to use SANS to determine the...

A recent experiment (RB820171) unexpectedly revealed that a sample of beta-Mo2N exhibited a number of extra reflections at 4 K; a temperature below the superconducting critical...

We will use time-resolved SANS measurements to follow the self-assembly kinetics of insulin from protein monomers to fibrils. By measuring through a well-defined lag phase we...

Complexes prepared from cationic, dichain lipid (L) vesicles and negatively charged siRNA (R), with and without positively chargely targeting peptides (P) known as LR or LPR...

Despite many previous attempts, Sr4Fe6O12 (the expected fully reduced composition for Sr4Fe6O13-x) has not been synthesised. It is of interest because it is believed to contain...

Sr3Ir2O7 has been claimed to realize a novel ground state (the spin-orbit Mott-insulator), first theoretically suggested to be relevant from theories addressing the tuning on of...

This proposal is part of a major research programme at Reading which is focused on nano-fibres prepared by electrospinning. The programme is centered on the spinning...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

A major problem in physics is the identification of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Many theories purport to explain the high-Tc phenomenon. In most...

Conjugated organic semiconductors form an exciting class of materials that can be used in a variety of cutting edge technologies including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs),...
