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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 -...

Light-metal hydride and amide systems are currently among the most promising materials for reversible hydrogen storage. In this proposal, we ask for 3 days on POLARIS or GEM to...

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 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...

The two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice is one of the most studied model in quantum magnetism . This is in part due to its intrinsic interest but also...

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...

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 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...

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...

Silicon is currently the base of all modern electronics and advanced computing. One route to future advanced computing called spintronics exploits the energy saving and quantum...

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...

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

This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the...

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

Mn12, with an anisotropy barrier close to 65 K, has been for 20 years a prototype nanomagnet, but in spite of a number of investigations the actual link between the value of the...
