An INS study of amorphous and crystalline nitric acid: observing the phase ch...
Nitric acid plays important roles in the atmosphere, in all aggregate states and combined with water.During the last periode we were running the proposal RB1110207 "Metastable... -
Surface modification in heteropolymer blends.
In recent years we have had considerable success with the surface modification of amorphous and crystalline thermal plastic polymers using multi-end functional additives. In... -
Phase behaviour of nano-sized ion-inserted compounds
Insertion reactions are of key importance for Li-ion and Hydrogen storage materials and energy storage devices. Nano-sizing the electrode materials has emerged as a promising... -
Atomic and pore structure of amorphous zeolites
We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from... -
Atomic and Ionic Mobility in Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs)
A proposal is made to measure atom/ion mobility/diffusion in GIC samples. Vesuvio is ideal to explore diffusion of ions bound by ~0.5-5eV bond energies and covalently bound... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous iron sulfates (AFS)
Amorphous iron sulfate pentahydrate has been identified as one of the iron sulfates found on the Martian surface during the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions in recent... -
The proton quantum states of the amorphous ices (VESUVIO)
While we now have a complete picture of the average local and intermediate structures of the various amorphous ices, their dynamic behaviour (glass transition and defect... -
Crystallization of clathrate hydrates from amorphous THF-water solutions
Understanding clathrate hydrate formation and stability is an urgent issue due to their environmental importance. However, a fundamental understanding of the molecular processes... -
The proton quantum states of the amorphous ices (MARI)
While we now have a complete picture of the average local and intermediate structures of the various amorphous ices, their dynamic behaviour (glass transition and defect... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium sulfate
Amorphous calcium sulfate (ACS) is transitory phase in the precipitation of calcium sulfate minerals such as gypsum. ACS is also be present in mineral systems which may be... -
Structural change of Ni-Zr amorphous alloy due to the deuterium absorption
It is well known that Ni-Zr amorphous alloys are highly resistant to pulverization due to the repetition of the hydrogen absorption and desorption unlike Ni-Zr crystalline... -
A deeper insight into the structural dynamics of MgCl2 materials for catalyti...
In our previous experiment (1810419), we have demonstrated that INS spectra of MgCl2-based samples can be successfully recorded at TOSCA Instrument, even in absence of hydrogen... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous FePO4 and LiFePO4
We are convinced that a careful study of the atomic structure of a-FePO4 would provide very interesting insights into several phosphate systems, including phosphate glass... -
Investigation of carrier transport in the organic semiconductor 8-hydroxy-qui...
Using the Emu spectrometer at ISIS we have recently studied charge carrier transport in the technologically important molecule 8-hydroxy-quinoline aluminium, by probing the... -
Simultaneous Raman and INS studies of ethanol isotopomers
Ethanol is a compound that is ubiquitous: it is the key ingredient in alcoholic drinks, it is used in low temperature fuel cells and has even been observed in interstellar... -
Local structure and proton sites in proton conducting brownmillerites
This proposal requests 6 days on Tosca to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,... -
In situ studies of the transition between high-density and very-high-density ...
The amorphous ices are good model systems for the study of pressure amorphisation and provide our princpal experimental test of the two liquids model of water. This seeks to... -
In situ diffraction studies of the archetypal network glass, SiO2 at high pre...
Silica glass is one of the most widely studies amorphous materials. It is the archetypal glass former, comprising a network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra. Recently a lot of... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
