High Pressure Thermoelastic Properties of Thermoelectric PbSe
We propose to study the effect of pressure and temperature on the crystal structure and the elasticproperties of lead selenide, an important material for conversion of waste... -
A structural study of titanium tellurite glasses
Tellurite glasses exhibit strong non-linear properties which are related to the asymmetric environment of the Te atom. The non-linear optical effects are strongest when the Te... -
Structural Studies of Complex Mixed-Metal Pyrochlore and Spinel Oxides
Our objective is to determine structural models for some complex, mixed-metal oxide phases that are as complete as possible using analysis of PDFs produced from total neutron... -
Probing the Kinetics and Liquid Structure of Toluene Hydrogenation by Pt/MCM-41
In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction... -
Investigating the Influence of Polymer Properties on Cyclic Peptide-Polymer C...
Cyclic peptides with alternating side chain stereochemistry are capable of self-assembling into long nanotubes (CPNTs). The conjugation of polymers to these peptides renders the... -
SESANS study of phase segregation in microemulsion polymerisations
Spin echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) beamtime is requested to study the growth of polymer nanolatices in novel microemulsion systems. The natural incompatibility of... -
Solution aggregation of short peptide surfactants
Short peptide sequences consisting of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acid units are capable of self-assembly to lead to interfacial adsorption and solution nano-aggregation.... -
Membrane perturbation and permeabilization by the lysosomotropic detergent MSDH
Lysosomes are subcellular organelles with acidic interiors (pH 3.5-5), containing enzymes that break down macromolecules and intracellular waste. Controlled release of lysosomal... -
Magnetism in novel organic/inorganic hybrid spin-valve nanostructures.
We request 5 days (15 shifts) with CRISP to perform specular measurements on novel functionalized SrTiO3(substrate)/complex FM oxide/small molecules/ FM metal nanostructures to... -
Search for magnetic ordering in the high pressure metallic state of LuNiO3 & ...
It has very recently been shown that Mott-insulators located at the crossover regime closer to the itinerant side, such as RNiO3, undergo a pressure-induced transition into a... -
Non-uniform elastic deformation of layered crystal structures
The experiment will resolve a discrepancy between earlier experiments carried out very recently by us and work elsewhere on the hydrostatic compression of a series of 211... -
Investigation of caprolactam-d11 at high pressure
High pressure has shown to be a powerful tool for the exploration of the organic solid state. In particular one is able to perform polymerisation reactions on solid materials by... -
Network compression and pressure-induced amorphisation in Zn(CN)2
Zn(CN)2 is an important material because it shows isotropic NTE over a large temperature range and to an extent more than double that of ZrW2O8. This unusual behaviour... -
A High-Pressure investigation on 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole
This proposal will explore the effect of elevated pressure on the 3,4,5-Trinitropyrazole (TNP). TNP releases a large amount of dinitrogen gas as a detonation product which is... -
High pressure effects on Jahn-Teller distortion in metal-formate perovskites
The family of guanidinium metal formates has the perovskite structure and, like many perovskites, is of interest for these materials¿ magnetic and electric properties, in... -
Substrate-dependent structure of thin hydrogel films
Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks made from natural or synthetic polymers, which are widely used in biomaterials, medicine and antifouling. We have developed PEG-based... -
Evaluation of inelasticity effects in diffraction
For total diffraction measurements using neutrons it is important to correct the data for inelasticity effects, especially for samples containing light atoms. Conventionally... -

A Structural Study of Alkaline-Earth Tellurite Glasses.
We wish to better understand the interaction between the alkaline earth modifiers and the tellurite glass network. The aim is to relate structural changes in the glasses with... -
Designing Porous Polymeric Gas Sensors
Porous polymer materials are important given their use in a wide variety of applications, for example detection of pollutants in the environment or security sensing of explosive...
