Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a solar cell material of great interest. However the material when fabricated, although of high symmetry, contains substantial defect concentration and a...

The proteins of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are critical for bacterialsurvival, from providing basic physiological functions, to aiding virulence and...

This proposal is part of our research efforts aimed at the understanding of the static and dynamic properties of cyclic polymers and their comparison to linear chains. Previous...

We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron...

hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high...

On exposure to ammonia, LiBD4 and Mg(BD4)2 form the respective ammoniates, Li(11)BD4(ND3)n and Mg((11)BD4)2(ND3)6. We have identified the decomposition temperatures, kinetics...

Methylamines are an ideal chemical system to study in order to understand the effects of steric bulk and competing non-bonding interactions on hydrogen bonding at the networks...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a technique of Additive Manufacturing of metallic parts. There are still several barriers of acceptance of that process in the industry and...

This proposal is concerned with understanding the properties of materials used in important applications in catalysis and energy, such as in molecular transformations of exhaust...

HRPD data will be collected in situ at low and high temperatures from perovskites belonging to the Sr(ZrxTi1-x)O3 solid solution which have recently been characterised for their...

Al2SiO5 forms three naturally-occurring polymorphs, kyanite, andalusite and sillimanite. These minerals are produced by varying degrees of metamorphism of sedimentary rocks, the...

This proposal is part 2 of a set of two proposals on Offspec aimed at understanding some of the effects seen in off-specular data and in particular the use of the spin echo...

We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the detailed crystal structure of a sodium battery cathode material that is currently under consideration for use in commercial sodium...

Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal...

Light metal amides and imides are a new class of highly active ammonia decomposition catalysts. Indeed, composites of lithium imide and transition metal nitrides are likely to...

Multiferroic materials which exhibit both ferroelectric and (anti)ferromagnetic ordering are of great technological importance offering the potential for the design of novel...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a solar cell material of great interest. However the material whenfabricated, although of high symmetry, contains substantial defect concentration and a...

With fantastic flux gains over its liquid conterpart, a solid methane moderator is essential to the newly built Second Target Station at ISIS. Unfortunately, it is notoriously...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known...

We ask for 3 days on GEM to study in-situ the decomposition of the Na-substituted LiNH2 phases, Li1-xNaxND2, LiNa2(ND2)3, Li3Na(ND2)4 and their reactions with LiD. LiNH2 is the...
