We propose an experiment on the low energy spectrometer LET to study temperature effects on the Luttinger liquid (LL) phase on the spin ladder geometry. The spin ladder material...

Li_2NH has been recently considered for H_2 storage applications. However, its low-T crystal structure is still controversial, with at least 6 options compatible with the...

In this study, in-situ high-temperature loading investigations will be performed to characterise the micromechanics of a high strength alloy 720Li, during stress relaxation in...

We ask for 8 days of beam time on CRISP to study the absorption and desorption of hydrogen and deuterium in Ti/Mg/Pd trilayer samples. Our specific objective is to understand in...

In a recent SURF experiment on the formation of silica films templated with cat-anionic/polymer complexes we found that the film growth and evolution occurs on a faster time...

The oxygen transport membrane is a system being developed by St Andrews in conjunction with industry, which at high temperatures will allow the selective migration of oxygen...

We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the...

SrCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions that are coupled into network of isolated triangles,a highly frustrated hyperkagome lattice consisting of...

This proposal seeks to test a new battery designed to allow in situ neutron diffraction measurements of lithium ion battery electrodes under charge and discharge. We have...

In the last decades the production and consumption of reactive nitrogen increased exponentially due to the extensive utilisation of nitrogen containing compounds as fertilizers...

The Earth¿s climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects cloud droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...

We will investigate the structure of 4-chloroimidazole a material, which undergoes extreme anisotropic thermal expansion,.as a function of pressure at a range of temperatures...

Heavy alkaline earth nitride hydrides (AE2NH, with AE = Ca and Ba) are of interest due to their potential suitability as electrolyte materials in a variety of electrochemical...

In a previous proposal we started to study the micellar structures formed from biodegradable surfactants synthesised using amino acids as the headgroups. The aim of this work is...

Very recently, we have studied the crystalline structure of the C0-phase H2-filled ice (recovered at room pressure and low temperature) and ice XVII, a new form of ice...

This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the behaviour of two important hydrogen peroxide solvates of the explosive CL-20. We will use neutron diffraction...

In a series of in situ neutron diffraction measurements from deuterium up-take in Li3N, the present authors have identified a novel non-stoichiometric 'quasi-imide' of...

We have recently reported colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in NdMnAsO0.95F0.05. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a strongly correlated antiferromagnetic...

In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...
