Copper (I) hydroxide, CuOH, has been studied since the early 20th century, with inconclusive results. The material occurs at the surface of metallic copper immersed in water,...

In our recent beamtime (RB 1820043 TOSCA and RB 1820044 MAPS), we prepared a series of ZSM5 samples that had undergone the ethanol-to-gasoline (ETG) reaction for different times...

Magnetic frustration - the inability to mutually satisfy all magnetic interactions in a system - is the source of many interesting phenomena, including spin liquids and ices. In...

The implementation of quick temperature cycles over the temperature range 2-40K in g-picoline has lead to the first observation of a redistribution of scattered intensity in...

KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling...

The commercially important polymer Nylon 6 is manufactured by ring-opening polymerization of eta-caprolactam. Industrially, eta-caprolactam is conventionally made by the...

Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature....

We have recently discovered solitary magnons in the classical magnet CaFe2O4 below 3 meV. in this experiment we propose to extend this to higher energy transfers to track how...

This proposal is to observe single-spin diffusive motion on a two-dimensional (2D) percolating network having a fractal geometry. The random walker¿s travel times on a...

As part of an on-going programme of work to better understand critical factors in the methanol-to-hydrocarbon process over ZSM-5 zeolite catalysts, it is becoming increasingly...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

Pyrolysis is considered as a sustainable way to generate energy from bio-oil, however, biochar – a solid residue by-product– is inevitably produced in the production line. We...

The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...

We have synthesized and characterized a new member, namely Fe2V2O7 in the family of 3d transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M =Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). M2V2O7 exist with a great...
