Structural studies of thermochemical and phase-change naterials for heat storage
This proposal seeks to study three systems associated with heat-storage applications using in situ neutron powder diffraction. The first experiment will focus on a sample of... -
Reflectometry studies of the mechanism of formation of mesoporous silicate fi...
Surfactant-silica self-assembly processes have been extensively studied since the discovery of M41S mesoporous materials in 1992. Mesoporous silicate films can be grown from... -
Combined in-situ structural and hydrogen desorption/absorption studies of hyd...
The Li?N?H hydrogen storage system is one of the most promising candidates for hydrogen storage in vehicular applications and the addition of halide ions significantly increases... -
In-situ diffraction studies of ammonia decomposition over iron, ruthenium and...
We request 3 days beam time on POLARIS for the in-situ study of the crystalline phase composition of iron, manganese and ruthenium catalysts for ammonia decomposition. These... -

Single crystal study of a-RuCl3, a quantum magnet on a honeycomb lattice
a-RuCl3 is a honeycomb lattice system which is thought to be close to a spin liquid state. The layers are weakly coupled and therefore the system is susceptible to stacking... -
IN-SITU NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF METAL-HYDRIDE HYDROGEN STORAGE MATERIALS
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... -
Intercalation of Ciprofloxacin into Lithium - Fluorohectorite at acid and bas...
Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) we will investigate the intercalation of Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) into the synthetic clay Lithium Fluorohectorite (LiFh) to... -
In-situ neutron powder diffraction studies of non-stoichiometry in Na battery...
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... -
Hydrogen-bond dynamics of water in C-S-H, the binding phase of Portland cement
During the setting process of Portland cement, different mineral hydrates nucleate and grow, of which calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the most important binding phase. It is... -
Low Temperature Magnetic, Thermoelastic and Structural Behaviour of Antiferro...
We propose to study the low temperature structural and magnetic changes in three clinopyroxene phases FeGeO3, CaNiSi2O6 and CaCoSi2O6. All three phases order... -
Kinetics of Protein Adsorption on well-characterised polymer brushes
We wish to develop a rational understanding of the mechanisms underlying the way water soluble polymer brushes - in particular those of polyethylene oxide/polyethylene glycol -... -

Solid state phase transformations at very high temperature in a martensitic s...
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... -
Structural, orbital and magnetic orders in the alpha- and beta-phases of S = ...
The study of quantum spin systems is at the forefront of condensed matter research due to the fascinating behaviour they can display. An interesting source for quantum S = 1/2... -
Understanding the Pressure Response in Amines: Weak hydrogen-bonding vs Non-b...
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... -
Shifting the tricritical point in CoMnSi
We have a long-standing interest in the temperature- and magnetic field-evolution of magnetic and crystal structure in CoMnSi. This is driven by an interest in the... -
Monitoring of KTiOPO4 Crystallization with a New Supercritical In-Situ Hydrot...
This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to fully complete the commissioning of a large volume in-situ reaction cell for studying hydrothermal chemical syntheses in... -
Continued studies of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of BiFeO3
Bismuth ferrite is the most widely studied multiferroic material primarily due to the observation of both room temperature magnetic and electric ordering. Despite extensive... -
Microstructural orientation mapping with a neutron beam
We propose to develop the means to measure the orientations, phases and strains of individual crystal grains within a polycrystal using neutrons. Such measurements have...
