New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are formed by complexing appropriate organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donor species to produce chemically tuneable, low volatility liquids...

At low temperatures FeSi is a non-magnetic insulator, but becomes a metallic paramagnet for T > 300K. It has been proposed to be a Kondo insulator in which local electron...

The discovery of slow relaxation of the magnetization and quantum effects in the single-molecule magnet (SMM) Mn12-ac in 1993 has inspired both physicist and chemist alike. A...

The bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7 is the first material found to have a quantum critical end-point and is believed to display ¿nematic electronic order¿. We have previously studied...

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a transient phase in one of the most important biomineralisation systems in animals (s.g.) such as crustaceans. The literature reports many...

Most of the one dimensional spin chain compounds are antiferromagnetic with a rich magnetic phase diagram due to the magnetic frustration. We have synthesized Ba3CrS5 and...

The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial...

A key step in a fuel cell is the dissociation of hydrogen gas to provide protons and electrons by a catalyst. For low temperature fuel cells carbon black supported...

There is an increasing urgency to find stable and lightweight hydrogen storage materials for clean transport applications. Promising options being investigated include Mg-based...

Carbonates and phosphates are highly important in biomineralization. They are found as hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH) in bone or calcite/aragonite(CaCO3) in seashells and...

Over the past few years, extensive developments have been made in the use of neutron diffraction for structural studies of liquids and amorphous materials at high pressure....

This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for...

Citric acid is not only a molecule of fundamental importance for cell respiration but also used in multiple and varied industrial applications including food industry and...

Among the most important features affecting the behaviour of Ionic Liquids (IL) and their mixtures with molecular liquids (ML), ion pairing is attracting a great attention. This...

The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and...

In conjunction with an industrial partner (Sasol Technology), it is proposed to apply INS to characterize a series of prototype Fischer-Tröpsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts that...

We will probe the structural changes as a function of temperature associated with oxide ion disorder/mobility in the end members of a redox-active oxide chalcogenide system.
