We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order...

The rotational line of hydrogen is very clearly measured with TOSCA. For the past few years I have noticed that the changes in the position of the rotational line do not follow...

Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the...

Ab initio computer simulations have suggested that pre-melting phenomena occur in the elastic properties of hcp-iron at the conditions of the Earth’s inner core just before...

The magnetism of spin-crossover (SCO) materials containing Fe(II) can be switched by changing conditions. The low-spin state existing at low temperature or high pressure can be...

We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

We propose to employ the neutron Compton scattering (NCS) in the realm of ionic liquids (iL), applying it to the protiated and deuterated variants of an archetipic IL, phosporic...

It is a well established fact that several molecular liquids experiences a series of thermal anomalies as measured by microscopic and macroscopic techniques. A remarkable case...

Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium – Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to...

Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal...

This proposal will study the temperature dependence of the structure of a novel perovskite oxynitride SrTaO2N in order to establish how anion ordering impacts on the coupling of...

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...

We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for the in-situ study of the crystalline phase composition of iron, manganese and ruthenium catalysts for ammonia decomposition. These...

Hexagonal close packed (HCP) alloys have a wide range of industrial uses, including within thenuclear industry and for aerospace applications.The properties of HCP alloys are...

The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases...

Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from...

This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of...

In search for new materials with exotic electronic states, one often turns to strongly correlated materials. Ruthenium oxides attract attention as they exhibit intriguing...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...
