In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that as water content in the...

We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,...

We request 4 days of beamtime on SXD in order to locate the protons and quantify their ordering within the structure of hopeite Zn3(PO4)2.4H2O. Hopeite is an important phase in...

Re-chargeable Li ion batteries play a key role in modern consumer electronics and may have an important part to play as energy storage devices in a low carbon economy of the...

We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of...

13 carved busts have ringed the perimeter of the Sheldonian Theatre since 1669. Twice the Heads have been replaced when deteriorated beyond recognition. The second generation...

The European Medieval double-edged sword develops in the 11th century from the Viking Age sword. Already in the 10th century, some of the finest examples of the Ulfberht type of...

The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex...

In the vicinity of x ~ 0.75, LixCoO2 has potential as a thermoelectric, since it has a high Seebeck coefficient and metallic conductivity. We have performed the first successful...

Iron-based superconductors possess an unusual property known as electronic nematicity, in which electrons spontaneously choose a preferred direction. The nematic state and its...

To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently...

The experiment wishes to measure the strain profiles across 12 mm thick reference ceramics slabs especially produced to minimize and maximize thermal stress during cooling. The...

The magnetoelectric Y-type hexaferrites demonstrate coupling between magnetism and electric polarisation in relatively small applied magnetic fields, and are hence candidate...

Stress-free lattice parameter measurements in d0 cubes extracted from a nuclear power plant mock-up dissimilar metal weld have exhibited wide scatter among different...

The aim of this proposal is to develop a methodology to investigate multicomponent glass structure, combining neutron diffraction, XRD, NMR, ab initio MD, and RMC. We wish to...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

Electron beam (EB) welding is a well-established and frequently used joining method within the aerospace industry. A numerical model, using a commercial weld-simulation package...

NiAl-Cr-Mo eutectic composites show promising characteristics regarding their usage for high-temperature structural applications. The composites consist of the intermetallic...

Zr is used extensively in nuclear reactors worldwide in a broad range of microstructural conditions due to its thermomechanical, corrosion and neutronic properties. However the...

In 2020, strict legislations will be introduced, further restricting the CO, NOx, and hydrocarbon gas emission for motorcycles (MCs). In this industrial postdoc project,...
