Coherence and confinement in poly(p-phenylene sulfone), sPSO2
sPSO2 is a candidate for new commercial fuel cell technology, having higher conductivity and better structural properties than Nafion. It has a higher degree of confinement of... -
Solvation structures of cyclic compounds: the crown ethers
Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly... -
Structural Models of the Polymorphs of Gallium Oxide
Gallium oxide is an apparently simple oxide that has been reported to exist as at least 5 polymorphs all of which are stable at room temperature. Structural models, however, for... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
Investigating competitive diffusion of methanol, dimethyl ether and water in ...
The competitive diffusion of components of the zeolite catalysed methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) process will be investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering. The... -
X-N Charge Density and Isotope Effects in the Low-Barrier N-H N Hydrogen Bond...
Our goal with this project is to gain insight into the bonding mechanisms of low barrier N-H N hydrogen bonds and how increased thermal energy changes the charge density... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Structural and Magnetic Characterizations of the New, High Pressure Synthesiz...
After an almost forty year lull in research on multiferroic materials, there has been a resurgence of interest in them. However, it is particularly challenging to synthesize a... -
Structural evolution and negative thermal expansion of Sr2IrO4
Sr2IrO4 is an important material in condensed matter physics, displaying a novel Jeff=½ Mott insulating state and being a rare comparative system for understanding the high... -
Structural and magnetic neutron diffraction study of a novel frustrated syste...
Every new triangular lattice (TL) antiferromagnet attracts considerable attention since they usually display rich physics due to the inherent frustration and degenerate ground... -
Using Magnetic Contrasts to Establish the Mechanism and Kinetics of Lipid Fli...
In order to maintain their asymmetric lipid distribution, cellular membranes have a number of means to translocate lipid molecules across the bilayer. On top of the well-studied... -
Characterisation of Spin density Wave phase in Na2Ti2(Sb,As)2O
The formation of charge and spin density wave (CDW and SDW) states in metallic systems isdriven by Fermi surface instabilities that are often found to compete with... -
Effect of Variation in the Anion on the Bulk Nanostructure of Protic Ionic Li...
In a recently published note we presented the first experimental evidence (obtained using the LoQ instrument at ISIS) for nanoscale segregation of short (< C4) alkyl chain... -
The Effects of Zeolite Expansion on Molecular Diffusion
Zeolites are porous materials that can absorb other molecules, which makes them useful in a number of fields. When they absorb molecules, they change size, either shrinking or... -
In-Situ Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering Study of a Gas Loaded Indium-Carboxy...
We request 8 days on IRIS to study the diffusion of adsorbed H2 gas and C2-hydrocarbons molecules within a gated indium-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) as a function... -
The Interaction of Ammonia with Binary and Ternary Nitrides
We request 2 days on GEM in conjunction with the IGAn apparatus to investigate the formation of lithium amide (LiNH2) from the interaction of Li3N with ammonia (ND3), and the... -
Neutron diffraction of sodium iron phosphate glasses
One important structural application of oxide glasses is for nuclear waste immobilisation. Recent reports have highlighted the possibility of iron phosphate glasses as an... -
Unraveling the structural ordering of water in amorphous calcium carbonate us...
Calcium carbonates make up some of the most abundant minerals in the world. They are of great importance in geology and in the field of biomaterials as well as having several... -
