A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Rotational dynamics in the ferroelectric and giant barocaloric (NH4)2SO4
Barocaloric materials, in which a large isothermal entropy change is associated with a pressure induced phase transition, offer an alternative to vapour-compression technologies... -
Defects and Medium-Range Disorder in the Metal¿Organic Framework UiO-66
We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in... -
Cation environments in lead-free glasses
BaO+ZnO containing glasses are being studied as an alternative to lead-based glasses because they exhibit excellent dielectric, thermal, optical and crystallisation properties.... -
Magnetic excitations in the layered honeycomb alpha-RuCl3
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore novel phases in correlated electron systems with strong spin-orbit interaction. Here we aim to probe the spin dynamics... -
Magnetic order in the spin-ladder iron oxyselenide BaFe2Se2O
In this proposal we request time on WISH to study the crystal structure and long range magnetic order on cooling, and the short range magnetic order above TN in an unusual iron... -
Time of flight-resolved gamma background measurements on VESUVIO
Gamma background is one of the main factors limiting the current VESUVIO capabilities. We aim at a characterisation of the time of flight dependence of the gamma background.... -
Atomic structure of amorphous alumina Al2O3
Solid alumina Al2O3 has many industrial applications. Recently it was found that porous anodic alumina film formed by anodizing aluminium in an appropriate acidic/alkaline... -
Structural analysis of amino acyl-tRNA-dependent Ligation Reactions in Bacter...
Assembly of the peptidoglycan later of bacterial cell walls is a validated target for anti-bacterial agents: the late transpeptidation and transglycosylation steps are inhibited... -
Inelastic neutron scattering spectra of hydrogen absorbed in palladium-silver...
Pd-Ag alloys find technological applications in H uptake and purification. Among various peculiar properties, their electric resistivity variation as a function of the H loading... -
Ex-situ total-scattering neutron diffraction studies of the nature of sodiati...
We request 3 days on NIMROD to study the changes in the structure and mesostructure of the anode of a novel high energy-density Na-ion battery during the first charge/discharge... -
INS Study of Nb2O5-supported Pt, Pd and Ru catalysts for the Efficient Lignin...
We request 9 days on TOSCA to carry out INS study of the hydrogenolysis of 4-methylphenol on Pt, Pd and Ru-loaded Nb2O5 catalysts for lignin conversion. This proposed study will... -
Mixed alkali environment in chalcohalide glasses for optical applications
Heavy alkali halide sulphide and selenide glasses are promising hosts for active and passive optical devices. Lithium and sodium chalcohalide glasses exhibit high ionic... -
Competitive interactions in polymer-particle-surfactant blends
Many formulations comprise distinct chemical species that exhibit antagonistic or synergistic interactions that result in unpredictable behaviour. Previous work from our group... -
Magnetic critical scattering in UGe2 under pressure
The proposal is to measure the low-energy spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2 at the pressure which maximizes superconducting transition temperature and at... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
In-situ study of hydrogen absorption and desorption in metal-hydride hydrogen...
In order to develop our understanding of hydrogen coordination as a function of pressure within two titanium-chromium-vanadium-molybdenum alloys, Ti10Cr10V75Mo5 and... -
