The unusually low zero-point energy of ice II: Critical benchmarking against ...
Water displays a highly complex phase diagram that is key to a range of critical processes. Using ISIS facilities, we have recently shown that ammonium-fluoride doping leads to... -
Local and intermediate-range order in AgI-containing glasses
Usual structural hypothesis related to superionic glasses containing metal halides MY = LiI, NaBr, AgI, etc., implies the absence of chemical interactions between the host glass... -
Pair distribution function analysis of stacking disorder in ice
Very recently, the metastable cubic ice phase was renamed to stacking-disordered ice (ice Isd) in order to emphasise the fact that this form of ice contains not only cubic... -
Investigation of the dynamics within the destabilised multi-component hydroge...
There is great interest in destabilised multicomponent hydrogen storage materials as this allows the reduction of the temperature of dehydrogenation while maintaining a... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -
Folding and unfolding of model antimicrobial peptides in aqueous solution
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are naturally occurring biomolecules which act as a defense mechanisms against disease in a number of different animals, including humans. These... -
Local Structure in PMN Relaxors from Neutron Total-Scattering and X-ray Singl...
This experiment seeks to resolve an ambiguity surrounding the structure of a prototypical relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PMN). Relaxors have been studied extensively... -
Model Amphiphilic Deep Eutectic Liquids
Deep eutectic liquids (DELs) - mixtures of high melting-point solids that form stable liquids near room temperature ¿ have recently emerged as a new class of novel solvents with... -
Equations of state of D2O ice III and ice V
The high-pressure forms of ice, phases III and V, are the equilibrium solids in contact with liquid water at pressures between 2.5 - 5.5 kbar. Consequently, their properties are... -
The elusive ¿cubic¿ phase of BiFeO3 and related materials
We wish to probe the suggested existence of a high-temperature cubic perovskite phase in the multiferroic material BiFe0.7Mn0.3O3. The parent phase of this material, BiFeO3, was... -
The phase stability of alpha-glycine at high pressure
Though the beta and gamma forms of the simplest amino acid, glycine, yield a variety of different phases on application of pressure, Raman data suggest that the most common... -
Solvent and drug diffusion in supramolecular gels
This proposal addresses issues related to understanding drug diffusion in supramoleculargels with view at fundamental pharmacological questions for drug delivery. Preliminary... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen on cobalt
Cobalt based catalysts are widely used within industry for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) in the production of sulphur free diesel. Despite the wide application of cobalt... -

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... -
Structural Disorder in the Quantum Spin Liquid Candidate YbMgGaO4
Quantum spin liquids are novel magnetic states in which quantum entanglement suppresses conventional magnetic order. Understanding the effects that stabilise such states is an... -
Magnetic properties of Graphene
This year Nobel Prize award to the discovery of graphene has evidenced the relevance of this material, which has outstanding physical properties and promising technological... -
