Mixtures of methanol with water and ammonia dominate the chemistry of cometary bodies, leftovers of the building blocks of the outer planets. We have previously determined the...

The mineral mirabilite (di-sodium sulfate decahydrate) has been extensively studied by X-ray and neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction methods. The structure contains an...

The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents that can circumvent the pathogens¿...

In this proposal we request 3 days of beam time on HRPD to study the structure and phase transitions of XNbOP2O7 (X = Rb and ND4). These materials have been shown to undergo...

NaAlH4 has been a model system for metal hydride hydrogen storage materials since the reaction was identified to be reversible. The decomposition pathway has been described by a...

This experiment is part of our research programme to explore novel quantum phases and phase transitions induced by magnetic field in frustrated quantum magnets. The quasi-2D...

For a decade field-tuned quantum criticality in the spin-dimer system BaCuSi2O6 has been of great interest due to an unconventional dimensional crossover at its quantum critical...

Water molecules can form different hydrogen-bonded networks, a property known as ice polymorphism. So far 18 different networks have been characterized using neutron diffraction...

The combination of the transport properties of liquids with the high thermal conductivity of metals is a promising way of improving heat transfer efficiency and thus reduce...

We request 3 days on GEM to perform in-situ neutron diffraction and electrical conductivity studies of LiBD4 (crystalline and after quenching from 500K) and 0.33LiI.LiBD4 as a...

The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation....

Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped...

Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data...

This experiment will determine how the structure and porosity of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) changes when the “ice” is “contaminated” by adsorbate molecules. ASW is a porous...

SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of...

The ammonium anion is comparatively soluble in ice and may also increase the solubility of associated cations that would otherwise not be easily accommodated in the crystal...

Benzene is probably the most studied compound in the history of organic chemistry. Whenever a new experimental technique or theoretical method is being developed most of the...

Creep lifetime of high temperature power plant materials are significantly affected due to predicted and unpredicted cyclic loading during plant operation. Our previous study...

Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong...

The stress-induced martensitic deformation and variant conversion (due to straining in the martensite state) of a Ti-50.8% Ni shape memory alloy will be studied. Macroscopic...
