Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active... -
Amorphous Micrometre-Sized Water Ice Particles for Planetary Science Experime...
We request 5 days on NIMROD to characterise the pressure and temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles generated in liquid ethane, as they will be used in... -
High pressure behaviour of ammonium carbamate
A number of compounds crystallise in the NH3-H2O-CO2 ternary system, including ammonium carbonates and carbamates, these being closely related to the water-deficient compound... -
Probing the electronic structure of uranium(IV) compounds by Inelastic Neutro...
An understanding of the electronic structure of the actinide elements is one of the most intriguing and complex topics in contemporary chemistry. In particular the magnetic... -
Magnetic ground state of the candidate quantum ice material Pr2Sn2O7
Quantum spin ice is a novel form of matter in which the spins remain dynamic even at absolute zero due to quantum fluctuations. The requirements on the single-ion wavefunction... -
Magnetic excitations in the S=1/2 ferromagnetic semiconductor Lu2V2O7
Lu2V2O7 is a rare example of an S=1/2 pyrochlore. The fact that it is a ferromagnet with Tc=70 K belies the fact that it has some truly remarkable properties. These include the... -
Simultaneous INS and Raman Spectroscopy of Hydrogen Bonded Single Component O...
In this proposal I plan to investigate two similar types of single component ferroelectrics, CBDC and PhMDA, using simultaneous INS and Raman spectroscopy to understand the... -
Investigating the diffusion of cyclic oximes in hierarchically-porous catalys...
Caprolactam (CL) is a high-value chemical precursor to nylon-6. On an industrial scale an aggressive liquid-acid catalyst is used to transform C6-oxime to CL. Due to... -
Crystal Field Excitations and phonon density of state in Ferromagnetic Superc...
Recently some of us studied the presence of superconductivity (SC) under hydrostatic pressure (0?2.5 GPa) in Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 with R = Ce, Pr, Nd, and Sm (crystallized in... -
Phase Separation in NaTaO3. Can it be controlled by pressure?
The present proposal seeks to establish the pressure dependence of the Pbnm-Cmcm transition in NaTaO3 and some doped variants thereof. It aims to understand the understand the... -
COMBINED QUASI-ELASTIC NEUTRON SCATTERING AND SR-INFRARED MICROSPECTROSCOPY F...
This is a joint ISIS/DLS proposal Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and SR-Infrared microspectroscopy (SR-IRMS) are coupled to probe the impact of a Pd(II) anticancer... -
Elucidating sodium diffusion mechanisms in layered sodium transition metal ox...
Affordable large-scale energy storage systems with improved capacity are crucial to a sustainable energy future, and the great availability of Na in sea water makes Na-ion... -
Molecular weight dependence of 2D-confined dynamics in glass-forming systems
We seek to explore the dynamics of glass forming systems upon extreme 2D-confinement. These experiments are motivated by preliminary experiments on oligomers and macromolecules... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
Structure and magnetic properties of Sr4Fe6O12
Despite many previous attempts, Sr4Fe6O12 (the expected fully reduced composition for Sr4Fe6O13-x) has not been synthesised. It is of interest because it is believed to contain... -
Full reciprocal space mapping of the relaxational dynamics in CH3NH3PbCl3:
The organic-inorganic perovskites with chemical formula CH3NH3PbB(Br,Cl,I)3 have been implicated as being efficient photovoltaic materials. Theoretical calculations and... -
Low-dimensional glasses: Effect of occupational site disorder in the excess o...
The present scientific case concerns a glass-forming system with even less degrees of freedom, namely the occupational disorder of high-temperature phase (I, P21/c) of... -
Diffusion studies using methane as a probe molecule to investigate the methan...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the...
