Formation and ammonia decomposition behaviour of lithium nitride hydride
Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride... -
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... -
Oxidation of thin film at the air-water interface of cloud droplets using REA...
The Earth's climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important effects. Common... -
Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions in K2SeO4
Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such... -
Measurement of vibrational spectra in high-thermal-conductivity ceramics
In high-voltage electronics, heat dissipation is a major challenge. Ideally the materials in these devices will have a high thermal conductivity; a property determined by... -
Time of flight-resolved gamma background measurements on VESUVIO
Gamma background is one of the main factors limiting the current VESUVIO capabilities. We aim at a characterisation of the time of flight dependence of the gamma background.... -
Deuteration-induced phase transition in a multiferroic framework material
The hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are of great interest as functional materials, because they combine the well-established perovskite topology with new physics and... -
Quenched salt hydrates new ways of probing water clusters.
Very rapid quenching of liquids to form a glass, from which crystalline phases are subsequently obtained by devitrification, is a powerful technique for obtaining novel... -
Understanding pressure-driven structural changes in FePO4-II
The room temperature high pressure behaviour of FePO4-I has been investigated and a phase transition at around 2.5 GPa to the orthorhombic phase (FePO4-II) accompanied by a... -
Low-temperature structural phase transitions in CuSeO4������5D2O and CuBeF4��...
The isostructural family of compounds that includes the familiar copper sulfate pentahydrate and the two less familiar title materials, has for decades been a model for studying...
