Ammonium fluoride is an ionic H-bonded analogue of ice. Its behaviour is thus of interest as a comparator for ice. This proposal is for beamtime to make the first neutron study...

This proposal is part of a project in which we explore the unusual physics of 5d transition metal oxides. Using a special high pressure technique, we have synthesised first...

We wish to construct a spectrometer on the Larmor instrument capable of resolving very small energy transfers between the neutron and the sample. To achieve this we will use a...

Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform...

Time-resolved SANS will be performed to investigate the effect of shear on the fibrillisation of insulin following denaturation. The rheological response will be measured...

We wish to understand the mechanism to which polymer brushes such as PEO resist the adsorption of protein and thus offer biocompatibility for various surface applications....

Pyrazine-I is stable < 302 K, phase II exists from 302-310 K, and phase III from 310-324 K. The known phase-I forms an ordered structure. It is thought that structures of...

Storing the energy available from the sun as a fuel that can be used anytime is a major global challenge. Organic materials synthesised from abundant elements that can harness...

We propose a study of the magnetic structure of isotopically enriched Gd2Ti2O7. We have successfully grown and characterised large single crystals using low-absorption 160Gd. In...

The mineral mirabilite (di-sodium sulfate decahydrate) has been extensively studied by X-ray and neutron powder and single-crystal diffraction methods. The structure contains an...

After initial and secondary oil recovery up to 50% of the oil can be left behind in the reservoir. Various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques can be applied to improve the...

Hybrid lead perovskites have received much attention over the past decade since they have potential applications in optoelectronic devices and solar cells. Although most devices...

The results of these studies will provide valuable information on the effects of extreme conditions on the structures of an energetic salt and co-crystal formed between...

Films of various surface-active species are found on the surface of water bodies from the sea down to microscopic spray droplets. These films affect the properties of the water...

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts....

Zeolites are meso- and nano-porous framework materials with applications in many industries. The zeolite framework consists of corner-sharing tetrahedral units. The catalytic...

We propose to study the effect of pressure on the structure of the tetragonal Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3, The behaviour will be compared to the compression of the cubic BaSnO3 (parent...

Mica is an exceptionally important mineral in surface science, which until now has been inaccessible by neutron reflection. Here we propose a novel attachment method unlocking...

Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and...

Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our...
