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... -
A total scattering study of the concentration and temperature dependence of s...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
High Pressure Neutron Diffraction Study of the Organic-Inorganic Perovskite P...
The organic-inorganic perovsike (OIP) methylammonium lead iodide, MAPbI3, has been identified as a promising candidate for the development of efficient solid-state solar cells.... -

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.... -
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... -
Structure of zinc sulfide quantum dots from reverse Monte Carlo refinement
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles have a wide range of potential applications, in particular due to their optical properties. Research has enabled ZnS nanoparticles to be prepared with... -
The unusually low zero-point energy of ice II: Critical benchmarking against ...
Water displays a highly complex phase diagram that is key to a range of critical processes. Using ISIS facilities, we have recently shown that ammonium-fluoride doping leads to... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -
Folding and unfolding of model antimicrobial peptides in aqueous solution
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are naturally occurring biomolecules which act as a defense mechanisms against disease in a number of different animals, including humans. These... -
Low-energy excitations of the quantum critical S=1/2 ladder material Ba2CuTeO6
Ba2CuTeO6 is a newly discovered S=1/2 spin ladder material thought to be uniquely close to the theoretically predicted quantum critical point of the coupled two-leg spin ladder... -
Equations of state of D2O ice III and ice V
The high-pressure forms of ice, phases III and V, are the equilibrium solids in contact with liquid water at pressures between 2.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, their properties are... -
The phase stability of alpha-glycine at high pressure
Though the beta and gamma forms of the simplest amino acid, glycine, yield a variety of different phases on application of pressure, Raman data suggest that the most common... -
Solvent and drug diffusion in supramolecular gels
This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary...
