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... -
Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
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... -
In-situ Hydrogenation of Calcium Nitride
Nitrides of alkali and alkaline earth metals are an interesting set of materials specifically for their potential in reversible hydrogen storage. However, many fundamental... -
Understanding the decomposition of ammonia by lithium-calcium imide
Among light metal amide-imide catalysts for ammonia decomposition, lithium-calcium imide is the most promising candidate for practical application. Ex situ diffraction data... -
Identifying the muon site in fluorine containing compounds
Fluorides form model systems with which we can test ideas about muon sites. We therefore propose a series of short experiments on well-defined fluoride systems that will be... -
In situ studies of mixed-phase oxygen transport membranes
The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen... -
How is the nanoscale structure of Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) impacted by the...
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... -
Structure and properties of ammonium-doped water ice
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... -
Thermal expansion of persubstituited aromatics I: benzene.
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... -
