Nanostructure of a New Class of Deep Eutectic Solvents Derived from Protic Io...
In earlier SANDALS investigations we have shown that protic ionic liquids (PILs) are nanostructured in the bulk, and how dissolved inorganic salts and small molecule solvents... -
Probing nanophase segregation in aqueous solutions
In recent experiments we accidentally observed the onset of nanophase segregation in concentrated LiCl-water solutions by increasing dilution, in the deeply undercooled regime.... -
PHASES CHARACTERIZATION OF NEOLITHIC FINDINGS FROM SICILY
Ceramics manufacturing is one of the older and intensive human activities in all civilizations, from prehistoric to modern ones. In addition, potteries are approximately... -
Solvation structure of sodium ions and hexa-fluorophosphate ions in organic c...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a... -
Confinement of Liquids within an Anodic Alumina Support
The structure of liquids in confined geometries is of significant interest to many diverse areas, for instance chemical catalysis (liquid-phase reactions inside porous... -
Magnetic interactions in honeycomb iridates Na2IrO3
We propose to study the magnetic excitation spectrum of Na2IrO3 with inelastic neutron scattering. Na2IrO3 is a promising candidate to realize Kitaev interaction. By mapping out... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid
Supported ionic liquid membranes offer potentially lower-energy alternatives to cryogenic distillation for the separation and isolation of light gas olefins (ethene and propene)... -
Understanding the structure of sodium laureth sulfate and NaCl mixtures in water
The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration of salt. This is important as these materials... -
When like-charged ions attract: Size and distribution of cationic clusters in...
Contrary to the strong electrostatic repulsion between like charged ions, last year the Ludwig group, used IR and NMR spectroscopy combined with computational methods, to reveal... -
Spin excitations in the single layer half doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4 abov...
The ground state of the single layer half-doped manganite Pr0.5Ca1.5MnO4 has the canonical CE antiferromagnetic charge- and orbitally-ordered (CO-OO) structure characteristic of... -
Non invasive characterization through time of flight neutron diffraction of t...
In order to extend our level of knowledge towards Oriental Arms and Armour, we have selected five samples specifically smelted, forged, characterized, and traded by Hitachi... -
Metal Ion Solubility in Deep Eutectic Solvents
Recent work on deep eutectic solvents (DES) has demonstrated that these novel H-bonded liquids can be used to modify nanomaterial morphologies under mild conditions in... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -

High-pressure and variable-temperature studies of RDX
Previous studies have suggested that a high-pressure form of the widely used secondary explosive RDX can be obtained above ~4 GPa and 488 K. This phase is reported to be... -
Spin excitations in RbFe2F6 and CsFe2F6 A possible S=5/2 Kagome lattice?
Geometrically frustrated spin systems are important owing to the fact that the geometry often suppresses conventional mean field ground states in favor of more unconventional... -
Adamantane in amorphous ice: A nanoprobe for detecting sintering, glass-trans...
Ice and carbon exist in vast quantities in our Universe. In fact, they often coexist, and form interfaces in highly diverse settings and environments. These include, for... -
Methane hydrate formation in the presence of graphene oxide
In this proposal we wish to study in situ formation of methane hydrates in the presence of graphene oxide. The aim of this research is to enable us to understand how different... -
