Epsomite is known to undergo a series of phase transitions up to 3 GPa at room temperature, a pressure regime which is of relevance to the interiors of icy planetary bodies,...

The aim of this experiment is to measure in-situ the high temperature beta phase in a Ti and Zr alloy in order to relate the beta texture with the alpha texture observed at room...

The method of Se isotope substitution with inelastic neutron scattering will be used to measure the partial VDOS for As2Se3 glass. This is a prototypical network forming...

We have previously solved the structure by SANS of the complex between the outer membrane protein F of E coi and the toxin colicin N which is a large antibiotic protein. This...

While we now have a complete picture of the average local and intermediate structures of the various amorphous ices, their dynamic behaviour (glass transition and defect...

This proposal relates to the study on the fundamental level, the hydrophobic interaction A peptides and a lipid monolayer at the oil-water interface. NR will be used to...

NaxCoO2 has exceptional thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery applications and as a...

The acetone - chloroform system is the classic textbook example of a negative-pressure azeotrope, i.e. the vapour pressures of the binary mixtures are lower than expected for...

We request 3 days of beam-time on ENGIN-X to investigate the influence of lattice preferred orientation on the onset of mechanical twinning in polycrystalline calcite (CaCO3)...

This experiment is aimed to study the effect of Oxygen on deformation mechanisms in Zr alloys with a particular emphasis on studying twinning. Oxygen is found in many Zr alloys...

For polymer vesicles to act as effective molecular delivery systems we must efficiently encapsulate a molecular payload within the vesicle. We would like to use neutron...

Oxalyl chloride, which is a liquid at RT, forms a disordered phase (I) on cooling to 260 K. This phase is unstable with respect to an ordered phase (II) below 250 K, but in...

The aim of this experiment is to study the effect of solid solution strengtheners on deformation mechanisms in Titanium alloys with particular emphasis on studying twinning....

Neutron scattering techniques at the time-of-flight spectrometers at ISIS have shown that there is a well defined excitation with an energy of about 400 meV in YBCO. A similar...

The mixed alkali effect is a well-known phenomenon whereby combining two alkalis in a ternary glass system can produce physical properties which can be superior to, but cannot...

Lung surfactant protein B, SP-B, interacts with lipids at the air-water interface of the lung where its presence is vital for correct respiratory function. SP-B and its...

Metal-organic framework materials are a family of nanoporous solids that have potential applications in molecular storage, separation and catalysis. Some of these materials show...

Zr is used extensively in nuclear reactors worldwide in a broad range of microstructural conditions due to its thermomechanical, corrosion and neutronic properties. However the...

Fracture prediction of structures manufactured from high strength engineering steels is a high priority in key industries. In this work residual stress (RS) effects on creep...

The aim of this experiment is to measure the load transfer between g and g' in an advanced nickel¿base superalloy as a function of volume fraction of intragranular g' during...
