Our main objective in this proposal is to study the competition between halogen and hydrogen bonding as a function of temperature in the complex (CH3)2C=O--- Br2. The results of...

Following a recently succesfull measurement of the structure of a monolayer of n-butane adsorbed on MgO we wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements of monolayers of...

Conductive polymers (CP) show desirable physicochemical properties, with CP-based nanocomposites being manufactured for various applications i.e. sensors The filler particles...

Ag3LiRu2O6 is a honeycomb transition metal oxide compound that is remarkable for the complete absence of long range spin order despite a strong magnetic susceptibility of ~2.5...

In the last 25 years the highest blocking temperature TB achieved for the best performing molecular nanomagnets has only reached few K. The situation has recently changed...

The Mn(II) phases LaSrMnO3.5 and LaBaMnO3.5 have been prepared by the topotactic reduction of LaSrMnO4 and LaBaMnO4 respectively. Preliminary neutron diffraction data show that...

Due to the importance of developing efficient biomass conversion processes, the mobility of lignin constituents phenol and catechol in zeolite Beta will be studied using QENS....

We propose to study the diffusion of molecular hydrogen (H2, HD and D2) trapped in C0 filled ice prepared at high pressure (3-5 kbar). These systems have a relevant scientific...

We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different...

Improving the efficiency of existing drugs is currently one of the major goals of pharmaceutical industries. Rather than developing new drugs, which requires new clinical...

We wish to measure the magnetic excitations and subgap states in a doped (x=0.06) spin ladder using MERLIN. The purpose of the measurements is to ascertain the relationship...

The orthorhombic compound Ba4Ru3O10 having Ru3O12 timers coupled via corner-shared oxygens in the crystal structure exhibits very interesting magnetic and transport properties....

Faster-than-expected ageing is observed in some seeds (e.g. orchids, coffee, citrus, willows) stored dry at -20°C, the standard temperatures of seed banks. This ageing has been...

Due to the tunable interplay between magnetism and superconductivity the CenTmIn3n+2m (n, m = 1, 2; T = Co, Ir, Rh, Pd, Pt) family of heavy fermion compounds has been attractive...

We have recently been studying a series of rhenium-cobalt oxide phases, based on the cation deficient perovskite phase Ba4Re2CoO12. Lithium can be inserted into the vacant sites...

Highly oxidized transition metal cations in oxides tend to display unusual electronic and magnetic behavior due to the highly covalent nature of the M-O interactions. Iron is of...

Cooling is at the heart of modern technology, from storing and transporting food and medicine to computing. Yet current refrigeration technologies rely heavily on...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

In recent years nano- and microparticles composed of polymeric or lipid material have been proposed as drug carriers. Their use allows the modification of the biopharmaceutic...

The benzene/graphite diffusion is highly interesting as a model system for diffusion of physisorbed molecules in general and for the understanding of lubrication in carbon...
