Sensing Sulphur Dioxide in Robust Porous MOF Materials via Simultaneous Micro...
We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data... -
Is cloud water nitrate radical chemistry important in oxidising thin films on...
Projected climate change is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and reflectivity, important climatic effects.... -
In Situ Study of Excess Lithium Metal Oxides Under Charge and Discharge
The next generations of Lithium batteries require materials with an enhanced energy density. The most realistic choice for such systems are the lithium rich electrodes (e.g.... -
Arctic Cloud Chemistry: Can the Halogen "explosion" oxidize material at air-w...
The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic... -
Cs mixed cation lead perovskites
Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing... -
Zero field splitting and quasiparticle breakdown in the two-dimensional quant...
In our recent NRSE experiment on the quasi two-dimensional quantum spin liquid PHCC at TRISP at FRM-II, we have found a zero field splitting (ZFS) of the magnon line of about 50... -
Ammonia synthesis using lithium hydride-metal nitride composites: an in situ ...
The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and... -
In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
High pressure polymorphism in ammonium bicarbonate, (ND4)DCO3
In an earlier high-pressure survey of the P,T phase diagram of deuterated ammonium carbonate, we observed changes in the neutron powder diffraction patterns that are consistent... -
Low energy excitations in solid 4He
The atoms in solid helium are weakly bound and have small mass so that the overlap of their wave functions (zero point motion) is large, making it a quantum solid close to the... -
Penetration and reaction of hydroxyl radical into organic films at the air-wa...
The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic effects.... -
Field-induced z=2 quantum criticality of a 1D quantum magnet
During recent years, the study of T=0 quantum phase transitions (QPT), the emergent scaling properties and their profound influence on physical properties at T>0 has... -
Investigating the graphitisation behaviour of polycrystalline diamond at high...
Polycrystalline diamond is a man-made diamond material used for rock drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut... -
Resolving manifold setting dynamics in protiated and D2O based portland cement.
Previous NCS measurement on glass biocements revealed that setting is non-monotonic. Recent determinations using VESUVIO (2016-Apr) for Portland cements showed similar... -
Field dependence of Magnetic Excitations in the Hyperkagome Spin Liquid Candi...
We are proposing to characterize the short range magnetic correlations and dynamics in a single crystal of Yb3Ga5O12, a geometrically frustrated spin liquid candidate. We have... -
Structural Properties of Hydrogenated Ca-Intercalated Graphite Compounds
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to... -
Study of Deep Eutectic Solvents dilutions: nanometer size domains and molecul...
Carbon materials with nanopore structures are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is... -
Multiscale time resolving study of the crystallisation of polyethylene from s...
This experiment is focused on the use of the unique capability of Nimrod to study the crystallisation of polymers from solution. We wish to obtain high quality time-resolved... -
Unravelling the temperature-pressure phase diagram for the multiferroic, BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the... -
Assessing a potential method to form kinetically trapped, self-assembling nan...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...
