Proton vibrational dynamics in pristine and nano-confined ammonia borane stud...
In the proposed experiment ammonia borane (NH_3BH_3) will be investigated through incoherent inelastic neutron scattering on TOSCA at low temperature. Since it is well known... -
Counterion binding to nonionic micelles: effect on interactions with silica
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
Oxide ion vacancy distribution in A site substituted defect pyrochlores.
Electrolytes based on pyrochlores such as Ln2M2O7 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) have attracted attention due to their relative stability combined with relatively high ionic conductivity at... -
Cavitation processes in gas desorption experiments.
The aim of the experiment is to improve understanding of the onset of the cavitation process in desorption, in order to, ultimately, better understand adsorbate behaviour and... -
The effect of fatty acids on the adsorption of HSA at the silica water interface
The primary biological function of albumins is to be fatty acid carriers. The complexation of fatty acids to the albumin is expected to have a strong effect on its adsorption... -
Metal Atom Ordering in Thermoelectric Materials
Preparation of materials Co3-xNixSn2S2 (0 < x < 3) has enabled the effect of electron-doping on the thermoelectric properties of shandites to be investigated. DFT... -
Probing the catalytic mechanism of CO2 utilisation for cyclic carbonate synth...
The rapidly increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide necessitates the development of novel technologies for sustainable carbon capture and utilisation procedures.... -
A study of the metastable phase in Ca3Co2O6
Ca3Co2O6 is an unusual system, with a highly anisotropic magnetic behaviour and a series of regularly spaced steps in magnetisation appearing at low temperatures in a magnetic... -
A new approach to look at membrane in plane organisation via giSANS
Biological membrane in plane organisation is a challenging topic, specially since it has been suggested to depend on curvature. So far the main approach to study curvature... -
In-situ investigation into the hydrogen sorption pathways of High Entropy All...
Anthropogenic global warming is largely accepted by society and the need for alternative and renewable fuels is desired. One such alternative fuel is hydrogen, considered to be... -
Bi-disperse colloids: silica and microemulsions
Surprisingly little work has been done to gain understanding about the nature, stability and properties of nanoparticles dispersed in organic solvents (organosols). Recently... -

Exploring colloidal assembly in periodic nano-confinements using neutron spin...
Colloids in confinements have structural and dynamic properties in some cases very different from bulk properties. In particular, when the width of the confinement is few times... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman studies of lysozyme
The proposers have obtained a dispersive Raman spectrometer that is fibre optically coupled to a custom centrestick that will allow simultaneous Raman and neutron measurements.... -

Proton Conducting Pathways in Metal-Organic Frameworks
Recently metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed with high intrinsic proton conductivity and with potential for use in low temperature fuel cells. Their... -
Oxide Ion Disorder in Rhombohedral Bismuth Neodymium Oxide Electrolytes
Materials that exhibit high oxide ion conductivity are of interest with a view to their application in solid oxide fuel cells, gas sensors and gas separation membranes. A study... -
Probing the structure of polymer stabilised foams
Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are commonly prepared by mixing Pluronic type copolymers and isocyanate reactive monomers in the presence of additives e.g. catalysts, blowing agent... -
Define the crystal structures of lead-free ferroelectric, candidate multiferr...
We have a range of new structures in the lead-free ferroelectric, candidate multiferroic and SOFC cathode areas. The HRPD data will be used to define these new crystal... -
High-Temperature Neutron Diffraction of Thermoelectric Materials
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...
