Ordering of water molecules in water/amino acid mixtures
The obvious role played by water dynamics in the biological movements and reactions has stimulated huge experimental efforts during last years. However, biological materials are... -
The effect of confinement on the structure of alcohol-water mixtures
Compared with gas phase reactions, liquid phase catalytic processes are complex due to the effect of the solvent. The solvent controls many aspects of the overall reaction... -
Neutron Powder Diffraction Experiments on Ternary Alkali Metal Palladium and ...
Na2PdC2 and Na2PtC2 are the first examples of ternary alkali metal transition metal acetylides. They were synthesized and structurally characterised by our group in 2001 based... -

IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
Hydrogen storage is considered to be one of the principal technological barriers in the transition towards a hydrogen-based economy. In this proposal, we plan to look at the key... -
Magnetic Excitations in an Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Kagome Lattice Antiferrom...
The material Cu(1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) (C8H4CuO4) features structurally perfect kagome lattice planes of spin-1/2 copper2+ ions, with the separated by organic linkers. High... -
Metastable phase formation and memory effects in barium borate glasses.
BaB4O7 glass crystallises to different polymorphs of the same composition depending on the prior thermal history of the glass and the surface area of the sample. This indicates... -
Atomic structure of formamidinium lead iodide perovskite
New perovskite phases containing lead and halogens with a molecular cation are providing new options for materials in solar cells, giving unusually high efficiencies in... -
Investigation of the hydrogen-bonded zero area expansion material 4-chloroimi...
We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole a material which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion. This is believed from our initial X-ray data to be due... -
Kinetics of Muoniated Radicals Studied With Radio Frequency Muon Spin Resonance
Radio-frequency muon spin resonance is a powerful technique for studying free radicals and their reaction kinetics, but it has not yet been used to study complex reactions in... -
Structural studies on drugs and lipids in amphiphilic solutions
How drugs cross the formidable blood brain barrier in order to function is not well understood, specifically with respect to the interplay between hydrophobic and hydrophilic... -
Structure-property relationship of perovskites ABO3 (A=La,Ca,Sr, B=Ni,Co,Fe,M...
Perovskites are used in many applications such as electrode materials in fuel cells or as catalysts e.g. in syngas conversion, CO oxidation, N2O decomposition, or... -
Unraveling Local Structure in Pseudocubic Perovskite Solid Solutions
Recently, several perovskite-like ceramic-oxide solid solutions featuring pseudocubic symmetry have been reported to exhibit technologically promising dielectric and... -

Characterization of local symmetry breaking in superconducting La2-xBaxCuO4 &...
The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC) remains unresolved. Of particular interest is the origin of the mysterious pseudogap (PG, a partial gap in the... -
Investigation of the impact of mechanical twinning on the thermal expansion b...
We request three days of beam-time on POLARIS to investigate the influence of thermally-induced twinning on the thermal expansion behaviour of polycrystalline calcite.... -
Total scattering study of the interactions of ammonia borane adsorbed in MCM-41
We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading... -
In-situ characterisation of mixed steel powders during simulated powder proce...
It is proposed that the lattice parameter change at high temperature is measured for a mix of 316L and SA508 grade 3 steel powders, by means of neutron diffraction in High... -
In-situ investigation of nitrogenation process of (Nd,Zr)Fe10Si2 alloys
Tetragonal R(Fe,M)12 compounds (R=rare earth, M transition metal or Si), with the ThMn12 structure, are good candidates as permanent magnet materials with reduced R content....
