Pressure-induced proton migration in an energetic co-crystal
The results of these studies will provide valuable information on the effects of extreme conditions on the structures of an energetic salt and co-crystal formed between... -
In-situ neutron diffraction investigation of Ni-based batteries
Ni-based secondary batteries are currently used in many applications, however, the structural changes at the electrodes are not fully characterized and neutron diffraction is a... -
Effect of high temperatures on the adsorption of benzotriazole onto copper/co...
Benzotriazole (BTAH) is a very effective corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in both water and in oils. BTAH is introduced as a corrosion inhibitor in oil based... -
Magnetic ordering in the layered oxide arsenides Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2
This proposal is to probe the structure and magnetic ordering in Sr2CrO2Fe2As2 and Sr2CrO2Co2As2, in order to complete a description of trends in the Cr sublattice magnetic... -
Catalysis in Hydrogen-Bond Rich Porous Organic Materials
Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interactions are essential in biological and chemical processes, particularly in reactions catalysed by enzymes and small-molecule catalysts.... -
Growth of Nanostructured Ceria in Choline Chloride:Urea-Water Deep Eutectic S...
In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that the nanostructure of the... -
Total scattering of Zintl phase deuterides CaSiD1.3, BaSiD1.9 and SrGeD1.3
The Zintl phase hydrides CaSiH1.3, BaSiH1.9 and SrGeH1.3 exhibit hydride anions in alkaline earth metal voids as well as hydrogen bound to the polyanions formed by silicon /... -
Neutron diffuse scattering from multiferroic single crystal BiFeO3
BiFeO3 is a canonical multiferroic material. We know that local (nanoscale) order is crucial in explaining the behaviour of conventional ferroelectrics, and reciprocal space... -
Comparison of the Compression Behaviour of BaSnO3 and Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3
We propose to study the effect of pressure on the structure of the tetragonal Ba0.575Sr0.425SnO3, The behaviour will be compared to the compression of the cubic BaSnO3 (parent... -
Superstructures in high-Tc La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y)
Previous powder diffraction studies of the superoxygenated La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4+y) (LSCO+O) system have not provided a model describing the superstructures of the intercalated... -
Wide-angle neutron scattering study of the unusual nematic-nematic transition...
An intriguing unknown variant of the nematic liquid-crystal phase (Nx) has been discovered first in a class of main-chain polymers, and later in LC dimers connected via an... -
Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Hydration of Guanosine, G-quartets and G-quadruplex
Guanosine (GMP) is the ideal brick for controlled self-assembly of biocompatible materials, as it has the special ability to self-associate in water to form G-quartets (G4), and... -

Identification of the empirical forging methods and microstructural propertie...
In our previous experiment RB 1810171 we analysed a group of three Japanese swords from an important private collection. Among the samples included in the proposal, we found... -
Phonons from diffraction and normal mode analysis in HMT
With the overall aim of extending the information derivable in a neutron single crystal diffraction experiment beyond the static structure, we are proposing to perform a... -
Quantum dynamics in a J_eff=1/2 isotropic triangular-lattice antiferromagnet
This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the spin dynamics of strongly-frustrated quantum antiferromagnets. A canonical model system is the spin-1/2 triangular... -
Unpicking the signal of partial order from thermal motion in diffuse scatteri...
Orientationally-disordered water molecules in ice adopt a degree of partial order upon cooling, a process that is halted by kinetics at ~100 K in pure ice and ~60 K in KOH-doped... -
A Structural Study of Tungsten Tellurite Glasses
Tungsten Tellurites are being used to make optical fibres that transmit light into the mid infra red. However, not much is know about the structure of these glasses. We wish to... -
Influence of nanoparticle size and morphology on the relative proportions of ...
Palladium is able to dissociative absorb large quantities of hydrogen, reversibly. However, the formation and relative proportion of different phases of palladium hydride, and...
