In situ diffraction studies of cathode materials for Li ion batteries
Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid... -
An eye to scale-up: a fundamental understanding of the ZIF-8 reaction
While the field of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been advancing steadily for the last two decades, only recently have commercial applications come onto the market. One key... -
Non destructive characterization of tools, ingots and artefacts retrieved in ...
An archeological excavation taken in the Querciola area inside the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze - Italy) brought to the discovery of a copper age metallurgical... -
Insulator to metal transition in TiOCl at high pressures
We propose to study the high temperature structure of TiOCl where a pressure induced metal to insulator transition has been reported recently by Kuntscher et al.Due to our... -

In-situ hydrogen decomposition studies of ammonia borane and the diammoniate ...
Ammonia borane (AB) is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials. We have extensively studied the low temperature behaviour of this material This proposal asks for 3... -
The Interaction of Ammonia with Binary and Ternary Nitrides
We request 2 days on GEM in conjunction with the IGAn apparatus to investigate the formation of lithium amide (LiNH2) from the interaction of Li3N with ammonia (ND3), and the... -
Quantum Criticality in YFe2Al10
Quantum phase transitions, where correlation length and time scales diverge, are of broad interest to the condensed matter physics community. The new layered material YFe2Al10... -
INS study of the effect of particle size on the formation of beta-palladium h...
Finely divided, supported palladium particles are used as catalysts in many technical processes. However, there is still considerable potential to improve catalyst performance... -
Characterising Bronsted acidity in industrial zeolite catalysts as a function...
The vibrational spectrum of Brønsted acid sites in commercial zeolite catalysts as a function of framework topology and composition (Si/Al ratio) will be studied using the... -
Superstructures in lithium cobaltate
The battery material LixCoO2 has recently been shown to have high thermopower comparable to NaxCoO2 at high x. In the case of NaxCoO2 we showed using neutron Laue diffraction on... -
The physics of detergency at low temperature: neutron reflection to reveal su...
Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we... -
Neutron Diffraction study of Highly Frustrated SrEr2O4
We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked... -
Characterisation of Lithium-ion battery cathode material LiCoMnO4 as prepared...
LiCoMnO4 is a spinel material of great interest for possible applications in the next generation of lithium-ion batteries. LiCoMnO4 exhibits electrochemical activity at 5 volts,... -
Kinetics of protein and protein mixture adsorption at the air/water interface
Many proteins exhibit a lag in lowering the surface tension at the air-water interface. The origin of this lag is not well understood either experimentally or theoretically. The... -
Short range order Ge-S and Ge-(Ga,Sb)-S glasses
Ge-(Ga,Sb)-S glasses are widely used in infrared optics. Despite the practical importance their short range order is still not understood completely. The main problem is that... -
Copy of: The Effect of Pressure on the Crystal Structure Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure and temperature TiCl4 is a fuming yellow liquid. On cooling it forma a solid composed of essentially isolated tetrahedral molecules; the same structure is... -
The solution structure of the OmpF¿Colicin N complex in neutral detergent by ...
Gram negative bacteria cause a wide range of diseases. Colicins are protein toxins capable of penetrating the outer membrane barrier and killing the bacteria. Thus they... -
Probing Ligand Flexibility using Quasielastic Neutron Scattering
Transition metal catalysts are ubiquitous in the academic and industrial study and application of synthetic chemistry. The properties of these catalysts can be augmented by... -
SANS Investigation of Mixtures of Ionic Liquids
Small-angle neutron scattering will investigate in phase diagrams from binary mixtures of different chain lengths of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium...
