Field-induced z=2 quantum criticality of a 1D quantum magnet
During recent years, the study of T=0 quantum phase transitions (QPT), the emergent scaling properties and their profound influence on physical properties at T>0 has... -
Configurational and displacive disorder in the cubic NTE material Cd(CN)2
Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This... -
Total Scattering Study of the Defect Structure of Gamma Glycine
Our picture of the structure of organic solids is derived almost exclusively on ?conventional? crystal structures based on Bragg scattering. Though it is hard to overstate the... -
Kinetics of amphotericin B interaction with model human and fungal cell membr...
The increasing incidence of pathogenic fungi resistant to treatment with amphotericin B (AmB) has created a demand for novel anti-fungal agents. The successful development of... -
Amorphous content of alpha alumina
Powder diffraction offers an accessible and accurate method to determine the phase abundance in crystalline mixtures. Unfortunately, only the crystalline components of the... -
Probing the Evolution of Local Structure in Disordered Li-rich Cathode Materi...
The next generation of Li-ion rechargeable batteries is contingent on the development of new positive electrode materials with a greater capacity to store charge. Highly ordered... -
Local Structure in Ni-Co-Cr alloys
This experiment will quantify the local structure in the solid solution phase of Ni-Co-Cr alloys. Diffraction data will be acquired from a series of alloys, with a varying Ni:Co... -

Quantifying the role of stresses in the cracking of repair welds in nickel su...
Repair welding of nickel superalloys is being investigated at Cranfield University to determine repair techniques which minimise liquation and post-weld heat treatment cracking... -
Combined in situ PDF, NPD and conductivity study of BaD2
Barium hydride is a of interest due to its high hydride ion conductivity, which would make it suitable as an electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical devices and... -
The application of INS to investigate the active phase of methane steam refor...
A previous allocation of beamtime on MAPS [RB720354] revealed the vibrational fingerprint of methane reforming catalysts operating under so-called ¿dry¿ reforming conditions.... -
Local structure elucidation of novel oxyhydrides BaTiO3-xHx
The experiment aims at the investigation of the local structure in novel perovskite oxyhydrides BaTiO3-xHx in the temperature range 300 ¿ 900 K by performing NPD experiments on... -
Probing Transition Metal Migration in Cathode Materials for Na-ion Batteries ...
Sodium layered oxides as cathode for Na-ion battery could exceed the energy density offered by Li-ion cathode thanks to two main advantages: (i) the activation of Fe3+/Fe4+ in... -
