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... -
Hydrogen dynamics in a series of metal borohydride ammonia inclusion compound...
The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of the series of coordination complexes Pr(BH4)3·nNH3,... -
Microstructural orientation mapping with a neutron beam
We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have... -
Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
Monitoring of KTiOPO4 Crystallization with a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrot...
This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to fully complete the commissioning of a large volume in-situ reaction cell for studying hydrothermal chemical syntheses in... -
In-situ study of nickel recrystallization using neutron diffraction
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... -
Diffraction peak shape and polycrystalline plasticity modelling
We propose to exploit the high resolution and well defined peak shape on HRPD to measure the evolution of peak profile shape at the early stages of deformation in stainless... -
Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
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... -
Investigating the ammoniation of light metal hydrides for hydrogen storage ap...
Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to... -
Diamond Experiment MT20586 "Incommensurate modulation in a multiferroic metal...
The metal formate perovskites have structural chemistry as diverse as their inorganic analogues; yet substantial areas of their phase diagrams, including phases with potentially... -
Evidence for long-range order in HoTbTi2O7
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... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
Competitive and synergistic interactions in gel formation
The interactions of small molecules with Pluronic copolymers are of relevance to their numerous pharmaceutical, domestic, technological and industrial applications. Whereas the... -
Chloride Intracellular Channel insertion into Tethered Bilayer Membranes
Part One of the proposal is concerned with the fundamental structure of the TBM and aims to determine: (i) the impact of spacer molecule length on the dimensions of the bilayer... -
Commissioning of High Temerature Furnace
The maximum operating temperature of standard ISIS furnaces with vanadium elements and shields is limited to 1000C (1100C under exceptional circumstances). The ultra... -
Spin-echo encoded neutron refraction of air bubbles in a fibrous protein gel
Calcium caseinate is a promising candidate to be developed into a meat analogue. When the dough like protein gel is subjected to mild shear and heat, it turned into a pronounced... -
In-situ studies of thermal electrochemical cells utilising transition metal s...
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... -
Production mechanism of polymersomes
In the field of cancer research, radionuclide therapy is proven to be one of the only viable alternatives to chemotherapy in the case of metastasized cancer. In this context,... -
Framework flexibility and host-guest hydrogen bonding in the metal-organic do...
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... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application...
