Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

Metal-organic framework materials are a topical family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these...

In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of...

The study of organic based materials is a popular topic and spans both chemistry and physics and presents some significant advantages. Of interest within this proposal is the...

Superconductivity in iron-based materials occurs in close proximity to a long-range ordered magnetic phase. In the iron pnictides, uniaxial pressure shifts the magnetic ordering...

In order to estimate a reliable reaction area (a_r) between cathode and liquid electrolyte in a Li-ion battery, we wish to propose a muSR experiment on a charged-state cathode...

Inexpensive light-metal amides are among the most highly active and effective ammonia decomposition catalysts at modest temperatures and are likely to surpass the performance of...

We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of...

This experiment exploits the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of nanofibrils of a molecular gelator dibenzylidene sorbitol from alkane solutions on...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified...

We propose to study the magnetic fluctuations of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4 in the superconducting state extending our previous experiments on a cold triple-axis...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

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...

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...

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...

This proposal is part of our research programme on spin and orbital order in frustrated systems. AgNiO2 has a layered crystal structure with Jahn-Teller active Ni3+ ions forming...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705)/Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...
