In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction...

We request 5 days on Sandals to study the interactions of the neurotransmitters dopamine, L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and norepinephrine in aqueous solution. The interactions of...

Peptoids are synthetic mimics of peptides (the natural building blocks of proteins) in which the side chain is attached to the backbone amide nitrogen instead of the central...

This proposal is intended to further the measurements required for the full structural investigation of binary alloy FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and the surrounding surfactant...

Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars....

Titanium silicates are important for a number of applications such as ultra low expansion glasses, anti-reflective thin film coatings and catalytic materials. Titanium silicates...

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched...

We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from...

We request 5 days on SANDALS to investigate the structural effect of expanded metals in the LiNa-MeNH2 system at three different concentrations. The interplay between...

This proposal aims to investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid and...

In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this...

Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to...

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...

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...

Co-solvency is a phenomenon where a small quantity of co-solvent is added to a bulk solvent to enhance the solubility of a desired solute in the mixture. Correspondingly, there...

The density maximum of water is probably its best known anomaly and attempts to account for this phenomenon go back to Roentgen in 1892 and possibly further. We would like to...

Liquids are commonly known to be incompressible. However, a recently invented class of materials called Porous Liquids, which exhibit permanent porosity in the liquid phase, may...

A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as...
