Structures and Chemistry of new layered oxychalcogenides
We propose to use POLARIS to obtain detailed structural information on a series of new lithium-containing layered oxychalcogenides and to investigate the ordering of lithium... -
The mechanism of Oxygen Absorption/Desorption in YBaCo4O7+d (Y114) studied by...
An uncommon oxygen absorption/desorption behavior for cobalt oxide YBaCo4O7+d was found[Karppinen et al. Chem Mater 18 2006 490]. Y114 absorbs and desorbs oxygen up to d = 1.5... -
The hydration and ordering of lamellar block copolymer films prior to the for...
The key to the use of polymer vesicles as effective molecular delivery systems is in the ability to efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like... -
Can a magnetic transition recently discovered on iron-based Fischer-Tropsch c...
The applicants have used a recent EPSRC award to develop protocols by which INS can be used to investigate methane reforming catalysts. That work is now complete and we have... -
Hydrogen Uptake by Pillared Graphite Oxides
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -
Polymer conjugates for drug delivery
Complex polymer architectures such as comb polymers have been studied for their highly customisable chemical properties. Potential applications have been identified in a wide... -
Structures and magnetism of iron arsenide superconductors with widely separat...
The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has provided impetus to the field of new materials discovery. Like in the cuprate... -
Investigating the structural features and magnetic order in novel perovskite ...
Through low temperature fluorination of AFeO3-x (A=Sr, Ba) it is possible to prepare the oxide fluorides AFeO2F, which are antiferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. In... -
High Pressure studies of BiMO3 perovskites
Bismuth based perovskites have been shown display many interesting properties. The field of A site bismuth perovskites gained renewed vigour due to the recent demonstration of... -
Electric field induced swelling/collapse of strong polyelectrolyte brushes
Electric field induced changes in the swelling of a strong polyelectrolyte brush will be investigated using neutron reflectivity. A poly(styrene sulphonate), PSS, brush will be... -

Oxygen Vacancy Clusters in Pure and Doped CeO2-d
Oxide ceramics based on ceria, CeO2, have been the subject of considerable research for the role of solid electrolyte within solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), since their ionic... -
The hydration and ordering of lamellar block copolymer films prior to the for...
For polymer vesicles to act as effective molecular delivery systems we must efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like to use neutron... -
Increasing Oxide Ion Vacancy Concentration Bi2O3 Based Electrolytes through d...
Recent research has shown that bismuth oxide based electrolytes are viable components in solid oxide fuel cells. Di-substitution of Bi3+ by an isovalent and a subvalent cation... -
Structures of New Ternary Iridates Prepared using Hydrothermal Chemistry
We propose to measure powder neutron diffraction data from some new iridium oxides prepared using mild hydrothermal reaction conditions. Although we have some structural models... -
