This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to determine for the first time thesolvation structure of the pesticide paraquat in bulk aqueous solution and in the...

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is observed in the oxypnictide NdMnAsO1-xFx (x = 0 - 0.085) at low temperature. The CMR in NdMnAsO1-xFx arises due to competition between a...

The need to decarbon the energy economy is one of the greatest technological challenges mankind has ever faced. Gas hydrates offer new clean potential materials for hydrogen...

Ortho-terphenyl is a paradigmatic example of a molecular glass-former; yet the structure of its glass has never been fully described. We have recently demonstrated that, by...

The objectives of this project are to: 1) advance in-situ studies of recrystallization kinetics in deformed metals using neutron diffraction. This is new approach which will...

Control of crystallisation is essential for many applications ranging from pharaceuticals to packaging and food preservation, yet remains extremely challenging. Recently we have...

The way that small molecules pack together can have substantial ramifications on the observed physical properties, reactivity, and device characteristics, even if the molecule...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and...

Evidence of long-range order has been observed in the diffuse neutron scattering data for a single crystal of HoTbTi2O7.A spin ice like pattern and pinch points coexist with the...

Honeycomb ruthenates (Ru4+, 4d4) with strong spin-orbit coupling are expected to host unconventional magnetic ground state owing to a spin-orbital-entangled Jeff = 0 state. The...

Poly(Styrene-Maleic Acid) (SMA) is increasingly used in the formation of lipid-nanodiscs for structural membrane studies and biophysics. These polymer-formed nanodiscs are an...

Thermal batteries are used in applications were high reliability is a key requirement. They can be stored for decades and activated in less than a second. Most contemporary...

The recently reported double perovskite analogue imidazolium potassium iron(III) cyanide is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the order-disorder phase transitions, in which the...

Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that a range of A-site deficient perovskite oxides, with carefully tuned chemical compositions, exhibit excellent properties when...

Co-crystals of 4-methylpyridine and pentachlorophenol (MP-PCP) exhibit the very unusual property of isotopic polymorphism, formation of different phases by samples differing...

We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -...

Weak nonbonded interactions between a divalent sulfur and an oxygen atom have attracted growing interest because of their roles in determining the structure and the biological...

Six days of OFFSPEC beam time is requested to expand our recent investigations of emergent magnetisation dynamics in ensembles of interconnected ring-shaped nanowires. In recent...

The self assembled structure of silica aggregates in polybutadiene rubber is vital to our understanding of dynamic energy dissipation effects in tyres. Previous experiments on...

Our previous proposals on ceramic glazes were rejected due to the high number of chemical components listed in the proposed (industrially typical) samples. Unfortunately the...
