Nature of guest-host interactions in novel porous carbon materials
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the nature of the guest-host interactions in novel porous carbide-derived carbon (CDC) using TOSCA. The advantage of porous carbons... -
Characterisation of intermediates in CO oxidation over Pd/Al2O3.
Recent infrared measurements by one of the applicants (GR) have shown that CO and CO2 adsorption on alumina-supported palladium catalysts form a variety of carbonate species. In... -
Understanding the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd...
This proposal is a continuation of RB1000003. The aim of the present experiment is to gain further insight into the mechanism of benzyl alcohol oxidation using supported Au-Pd... -
Neutron spectroscopy study of the C-H vibrational modes in defective graphene
We have conducted an extended study of hydrogenated defective graphene, synthesized by chemical routes (hydrogenated thermal exfoliated graphite oxide or H-TEGO), including... -
Carbon dioxide dynamics in a zeolitic imidazolate framework
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional networks consisting of metal cations/clusters linked through bridging organic ligands. Containing pores and cavities, such... -
Microemulsion Controlled Polymorph Crystallisation
Control of crystallisation is essential for many applications ranging from pharaceuticals to packaging and food preservation, yet remains extremely challenging. Recently we have... -
Inelastic magnetic scattering in CePd3
CePd3 is a classic intermediate valence (IV) system. In MAPS experiment 620167 we obtained an important qualitative result for CePd3, namely that the Kondo-like scattering... -
Source of Electronic Magnetism in Palladium Bionanoparticles
The work will aim to use the unique property of muons, as sensitive probes of their local magnetic environment, to investigate the source of the electronic magnetism observed in... -
Investigation into the Effect of Crystallographic Orientation on the Observed...
Neutron capture analysis allows for the measurement of the mean kinetic energy of the nucleus prior to capture. This technique can give insight into motion of atoms as well as... -
High ethane/ethylene selectivity in ZIF-7@AC: A gate opening effect?
The main goal of the present proposal is to evaluate the high selectivity of a special type of MOF material (ZIF-7) confined in the cavities of nano porous activated carbons.... -
Studying the helimagnetic order and precursor phenomena in MnSi under pressure
The archetype chiral system MnSi belongs to the family of non-centrosymmetric cubic helimagnets where a helimagnetic ordering exists below the critical temperature of 29 K. This... -
Dispersionless spin waves and field-induced magnetic order in Gd3Al5O12
Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) is the archetypal frustrated magnet with unusual short-range order and magnetic excitations. Recently we have found that the dominant contribution to INS in GGG... -
Amino-Acid Based Surfactant Monolayers on a Range of Subphases
Amino acid based surfactants have been known for many years but so far few detailed studies have been carried out on their properties. We are using amino acids extracted from... -
Assessing a potential method to form kinetically trapped, self-assembling nan...
Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for drug delivery applications. Recently, using SANS and... -
Stationary Spin Waves in the Skyrmion Crystal
The inter-metallic B20 compound MnSi is of great interest as a magnetic model system exhibiting helical spin ordering and topologically non-trivial spin correlations. The... -
Modelling decarburization in BF-BOF steel making
70% of the worlds steel production is conducted via the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF, Fig 1.) route using raw materials to meet the low residual, low inclusion... -
The high-pressure structures of carbon dioxide hydrate
The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a... -
Effects of pore geometry of nanoporous carbons on hydrogen densification usin...
Neutron scattering is one of the few experimental techniques that can directly determine the state of confined H2 molecules in microporous solids. Recent inelastic neutron... -
Microstructure of Homoeopathic Organic Solar Cells
Much progress has been made researching organic solar cells (OSC) in the last two decades, but the field still holds surprises. Until recently, the general assumption was that... -
