Simltaneous dielectric spectroscopy and neutron diffraction
We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and... -
Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
Unravelling Structural Complexity within a Family of Frustrated S = ½ Kagome ...
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic states of matter in which magnetic frustration and strong quantum fluctuations destroy long-range magnetic order. Here, we propose to... -
Revising the onset of anharmonicity in proteins
Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al... -
Studies of local order and clustering in (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 Perovskites
We propose total scattering experiments on samples of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 perovskites with x = 0, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.15 to resolve issues over the local structure and degree of... -
Intrinsic defect structures in zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is an important semiconductor material used in a wide range of industrial applications, many of which require both n-type and p-type components. It can easily be... -
Cation ordering in silicate spinel Ni2SiO4
Silicate spinels are important minerals in the transition zone region of the Earth and in order to understand seismic signals from these depths (550-660 km) we need to know the... -
X-ray Radiation damage to DNA at the atomic level
The interaction of ionizing radiation such as X-rays with biological samples causes damage to the samples. Recent work from our group with various protein crystals, peptides and... -

In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Interaction of Lignosulphonates with model surfactant systems by Small Angle ...
With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry... -
Fine structure of a confined quantum translator-rotator probed with high-reso...
A process known as molecular surgery enables the synthesis of the fullerene C60 enclosing a small molecule such as H2, H2O, HF and CH4. The caged molecules in these molecular... -
How aggregate lifetimes affect the kinetics of surfactant surface multilayer ...
The spontaneous formation of multilayer structures at interfaces from surfactant self-assembly is an important structural signature associated with a wide range of technological... -

Li-enriched layered transition metal cathode materials are attracting long-standing interest since they exhibit energy densities and capacities significantly higher than the... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigation of the giant phonon anomalies due ...
The electron-phonon interaction is a major factor influencing the competition between collective instabilities in correlated-electron materials, but its role in driving... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
