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...

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...

The complex sample environment needed for floating supported bilayers has often led to a need to constantly redevelop the system to improve reproducibility. Here we plan to...

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...

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....

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...

Gram-negative bacteria, which cause a variety of diseases including meningitis, plague, sepsis and food poisoning, are becoming increasingly antibiotic resistant. One reason is...

Previous NCS measurement on glass biocements revealed that setting is non-monotonic. Recent determinations using VESUVIO (2016-Apr) for Portland cements showed similar...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to...

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...

Bismuth ferrite is arguably the most widely studied multiferroic material due to room temperature magnetic and ferroelectric ordering. However, despite extensive research the...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and...

AOT is also known to be very sensitive to the concentration and nature of counter-ions. When adding a sufficient amount of divalent salt to an AOT solution, a very strong Bragg...

Recently, new type of frustrated magnets, BaV10O15 and SrV10O15, were found to exhibit interesting phenomena due to mixed valence ions forming a modified triangular lattice....

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a...

The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen...

The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will...

We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless...

The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and...
