A QENS Study of Guaiacol, a Lignin Model Compound, on a Hydrodeoxygenation Ca...
Bio-oil can be obtained from the pyrolysis of biomass and maintains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 level, making the environment cleaner. However,... -
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL-TO-CANCER TRANSITION IN HUMAN CELLS WITH THE USE OF NEUT...
Normal-to-malignant transformation in human cells, still an ill-understood process, is intimately related to their biomechanical properties, which are strongly dependent on the... -
Separation of factors contributing to the overall diffusion behaviour of olef...
This proposal examines the diffusion behaviour of olefin hydrocarbons adsorbed in microporous zeolite catalysts. It builds on a previous study which has shown that simulated... -
Origin of quasielastic scattering in HoCrO3
We investigated nuclear spin excitations in the multiferroic HoCrO3 on the BASIS spectrometer of SNS, Oak Ridge. We found low energy excitations arising from hyperfine... -
Stress-assisted Martensite Influence of martensite initiation mode on varia...
The aim of the present proposal is to determine the influence of the different martensite transformation regimes (either stress-assisted or strain-induced) on the proceeding... -
Multiscale studies of crystallisation in synthetic polymers
We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. For synthetic polymers there are... -
Dynamics of Disorder in Relaxor-like Ferroelectric AB(HCO2)3 Frameworks
Relaxor ferroelectics are of significant interest for use as piezoelectric actuators in sensing applications and for high precision mechanical stages. Relaxors are traditionally... -
Structural studies of the cycling and decomposition of Mg(NH3)6(BH4)2
Given its high hydrogen gravimetric density, ammonia may be utilised as a hydrogen carrier, and thus ammonia stores are an area of interest. It is known that Mg(BH4)2 takes up... -
Structures and magnetism of iron arsenide superconductors with widely separat...
The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has provided impetus to the field of new materials discovery. Like in the cuprate... -
Determination of the crystal-electric field in geometrically frustrated pyroc...
Geometrically frustrated systems such as pyrochlore compounds receive much attention since they display exotic magnetic states. The explanation lies on the large degeneracy of... -
Hydrogen Diffusion in the Reactive Carbon Overlayer on a Fischer-Tropsch Cata...
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalysts offer a route to the production of fuels and chemicals from synthesis gas, which has a number of sources. This reaction is likely to play a key... -
Copy of: Magnetic excitations in the one dimensional (1D) spin-chain systems:...
The spin-chain systems with general formula A¿3ABO6, crystallizing in the K4CdCl6 type structure has attracted a lot attention in recent years due to geometrical frustration... -
Structural Properties of Hydrogenated Ca-Intercalated Graphite Compounds
The recent discovery of superconductivity in Ca-intercalated graphite (C6Ca) has refocused considerable interest onto graphite intercalated compounds (GICs). We would like to... -
Investigation of phonon anomalies in the CDW phases of 1T-TaS2
1T-TaS2, an archetypal quasi-2D compound, reveals strong electron-phonon (e-p) coupling responsible for charge-density-wave (CDW) instabilities leading to a series of phase... -
Water dynamics in porous PTFE membranes for water purification
This is a resubmitted proposal in a new project on water purification by membrane distillation. With this technology liquid water is excluded from passing the separating... -
Lattice dynamics study of filled-skutterudite compounds: RPt4Ge12 (R=Ba, La a...
The appearance of non-dispersive Einstein (¿rattling¿) modes, known as the phonon-glass paradigm in filled-skutterudite compounds, has been postulated as an origin of the high... -
Investigation of the singlet ground states in PrT2Ga8 (T=Fe, Co) compounds
We are interested in investigating the nature of the ground states in the two titled compounds. Based on theoretical predictions, no magnetic ordering is expected in these... -
Meta-orbital transition in CeRh2Si2
Magnetic quantum critical points (QCPs) in strongly correlated electron systems, i.e. continuous phase transitions at absolute zero temperature, considerably attract both... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
