In-situ reaction of lithium amide or imide with manganese(IV) oxide
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or... -
Phase behaviour in lanthanum antimony niobate proton conductors
Antimony substituted lanthanum niobium oxide is a recently developed proton conductor with potential use in fuel cells, gas sensors and steam electrolysers Our preliminary work... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
In search of origin of metal-insulator transition in honeycomb structure Li2RuO3
Recently we have carried out inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2RuO3 to understand the nature of the phase transition at 550K. We have seen a clear inelastic... -
Adsorption of modified polysorbate (Tween) surfactants at the air-water inter...
The nonionic polysorbate (Tween) surfactants are an important class of food grade surfactants. They are extensively use in emulsion and foam stabilisation, and are increasingly... -
Vacancy Distribution in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant... -
A Total Scattering Study of Local Structure in BIMEVOXes
The BIMEVOXes are an important family of fast oxide ion conducting solids that exhibit very high conductivities at low and intermediate temperatures. A study of local ordering...
