INS studies of Nafion and model compounds
In the archetypal hydrogenoxygen proton exchange membrane fuel cell design, a proton-conducting polymer membrane (typically Nafion) contains the electrolyte solution that... -
Investigation for pressure-induced ferroelectric polarization flop phenomenon...
We propose to perform neutron diffraction experiments under high-pressure on multiferroic TbMnO3 using WISH in combination with hybrid-anvil-type high-pressure device. Recently,... -
Establishing the local environment of O/F in perovskite based oxide fluorides
There is widespread interest in perovskite materials, with work traditionally focusing on simple oxide systems. In recent years, however, there has been growing interest in the... -
Inelastic neutron scattering study of the metallic toroidal system UNi4B
There is considerable interest in understanding the magnetoelectric effect with the aim of developing technological applications. Until recently this has been limited to... -
In situ SANS study of a protein- graphene oxide (GO) co-assembly system
Supramolecular chemistry offers an exciting opportunity to assemble materials with molecular precision. However, there remains an unmet need to turn molecular self-assembly into... -
Magnetic excitations in mesoporous hematite
We have recently prepared mesoporous forms of various metals oxides. In some cases the imposition of a mesostructure changes other properties of the material significantly. One... -
Single-Crystal Neutron Diffraction Study on [U(C5Me5)2(H)(mu¿H)]2
To our knowledge, the length of the U¿H single bond has never been accurately measured, at least not in a molecular compound by single-crystal neutron diffraction. We currently... -
Neutron reflectivity for lithium battery SEI formation
We will use neutron reflectivity to probe the formation of the passivating layer which forms on lithium battery electrodes, which ultimately governs their long term performance.... -
Effects of IR Illumination on Mu Dynamics and Mu0 Formation in TiO2
We propose a study of Mu dynamics and the low temperature Mu$^0$-like states in TiO$_{2}$ under near-IR illumination to investigate the resulting excitonic states and behaviour.... -
Simultaneous SANS and modulated SESANS to resolve growth of surfactant-templa...

Determination of residual stresses during the heat treatment of polycrystalli...
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is a man-made diamond material used for drilling and machining operations. Its vastly superior hardness to any other material allows it to cut... -
PDF Studies of Li-rich Disordered Rock Salts as High Performance Cathode Mate...
To develop the next generation of high performance Li-ion rechargeable batteries we need to find new positive electrode materials with a greater capacity to store charge. It is... -
Effect of alloying on the misfit of Ni-Ni3Al-Ni3V alloys
Ni-base superalloys have long been used in high temperature applications, including the high-demand environments of the high pressure turbines in jet engines. The remarkable... -
Revealing the structures of porous liquids
New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We... -
Quantum Entanglement of Neutron Spin, Path and Energy
What does a quantum particle do when you are not looking at it? For a classical moving object, like a golf ball, we know its trajectory even when we are not looking at it. This... -
Hydration and sweetness of synthetic sweeteners
Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with... -
Evolve of the Spin Waves in Rb0.8Fe1.6Se2 at High Temperature
The newly discovered AxFe2-ySe2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) compounds have attracted great interests because of their parent compounds are insulators instead of being metallic [2-6].... -
In-situ investigations of the structure-property relationship in lithium inse...
This proposal details the use of an in-situ cell optimised for use on the POLARIS beamline to study the structure-property relationships in the defect perovskite lithium... -
Structures of New Doped RuO2 Rutiles
We have prepared some new mixed-metal oxides using a chemical synthesis approach that provides access to materials not seen using other techniques. The materials are potentially... -
Verification of Local Ordering in Praseodymium Doped Ceria
Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant...
