Phenomena surrounding the wetting of natural or artificial topographically patterned surfaces are found systems associated with the diverse fields of chemical engineering,...

It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =...

Mixtures of protic ionic liquids (PIL) and polar, protic molecular liquids (MLs) are attracting great attention. Due to the ionic nature of PILs and the role of hydrogen bonding...

We propose the first high P/T neutron diffraction measurements on goethite (FeOOH), both the ambient pressure alpha- as well as the high-pressure epsilon-phase, in the P/T range...

Cyclic peptide-polymer conjugates can readily self-assembly into long nanotubes, and are being extensively studied for biomedical applications. Recently, we have conjugated a...

We seek to develop new materials for sensing and removal of toxic gases (esp., SO2) and request 2 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

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...

Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30...

We have been focusing on two component gel networks. Here, both components can individually form gels. In a mixed system, the LMWG can either co-assemble or self-sort. In a...

We will exploit the powerful and unique capability of NIMROD to follow in a time-resolving manner the crystallisation of polyethyleneoxide (PEO). There are three key length...

Addition of multivalent salts to water soluble polyelectrolytes, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC), induces conformational change to the polyelectrolyte structure,...

We have recently discovered a pressure-induced quantum phase transition (QPT) at 4.3 kbar in the gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) by means of...

The Arctic climate is strongly influenced by clouds. The oxidative processing of pollutants in Arctic clouds affects droplet size and optical properties, important climatic...

Organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites combine the optoelectronic properties commonly associated with high performance semiconductors with materials synthesis or processing...

In our recent NRSE experiment on the quasi two-dimensional quantum spin liquid PHCC at TRISP at FRM-II, we have found a zero field splitting (ZFS) of the magnon line of about 50...

The development of more active catalysts for the production of ammonia will have a worldwide impact on the energy cost of producing fertiliser. Composites of lithium hydride and...

Li-ion batteries are interesting because they offer high power and, as a consequence, they are preferred to aqueous-based batteries for traction applications e.g. hybrid...

The gas hydrates offer potential as hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage materials for use either in transport applications or for carbon sequestration. We have discovered a...

Hydrogen hydrates are good potential hydrogen storage materials because they are both cheap and environmentally passive. This proposal is to study the crystal structure and...

NaYbS2 is yet unexplored material which crystallizes in the delafossite structure with general formula ABX2. The magnetic ions Yb3+ form perfect triangular layers separated by...
