When materials are dissolved in solvents the solvent can become ordered around the solute, usually considered to be an ion that is a single atomic ion or a molecular ion. For...

This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the...

Formaldehyde is an industrially important chemical (world production 32 million tonnes in 2006) currently made from methanol using an iron molybdate catalyst. Reaction occurs at...

The aim of the present proposal is to use total scattering to investigate changes in the local structure of Ba3BiRu2O9. This compound undergoes an unusual magnetovolume...

The (NH4)0.02 Rbx K0.98-x I system offers advantages for the systematic study of tunnelling species and how they interact. Currently there are two models to explain the dynamics...

Simulations have demonstrated that mimicking the metal-oxide interface in porous media produces significant variations in the solvents structure over the metal and the oxide for...

Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and...

Tin phosphate glasses are the alternative as lead-free glasses with zero photoeleastic constant (PEC) for fibers that are used in sensors of electric current. Since the binary...

We have recently managed to prepare powder samples and small single crystals of BaCoF4, BaNiF4, Ba2Co3F10, and the new tetragonal compound Ba2CoF6. These materials are...

In the new class of iron pnictide superconductors, there is evidence of phase coexistence close to the phase boundary between the SDW and superconducting order produced by hole...

This proposal is concerned with determining the local structure of LaCoO3 and observing changes within this as the material undergoes some well characterised temperature driven...

Geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet LuBaCo4O7 exhibits unusual competition between two low-temperature phases with orthorhombic and monoclinic symmetry. Depending on...

WO3 is an important technological material with wide usage in gas-sensing devices but its low temperature phases are still mysterious. There are conflicting reports in the...

The recent discovery of skyrmions and skyrmion lattices in materials with no inversion symmetry and their corresponding potential applications of Skyrmions in magnetic...

Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO3) is the archetypal multiferroic material and as such has been copiously studied using a wide variety of techniques. Despite this, new structural and...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is an anionic surfactant, extensively employed in cosmetics and personal care, as well as in pharmaceuticals and food products. Surfactants are...

Ionic liquids (ILs) - salts that melt near room temperature - have remarkable properties as solvents for a wide variety of molecules and ions. ILs share with water the rare...

Our previous INS studies of ¿dry¿/hydrated apoferritin show that the hydrated protein undergoes a dynamical transition, Td, at 200K. Such behavior, first modeled by Doster et al...

Hydrogen chloride exhibits a complex phase diagram account made of its simple molecular structure. Three crystalline phases are known to exist at ambient pressure below its...

We propose total scattering experiments on samples of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBiYbO3 perovskites with x = 0, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.15 to resolve issues over the local structure and degree of...
