To support local to regional climate change mitigation and adaptation actions, this spatial dataset prioritizes forestlands for preservation across Oregon, United States. The... -
Spatial Data Identifying Strategic Forest Reserves that can Protect Biodivers...
To support local to international actions on climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation, this spatial dataset prioritizes forestlands for preservation in the... -
Study of Deep Eutectic Solvents dilutions: nanometer size domains and molecul...
Carbon materials with nanopore structures are of great importance for development of energy storage and gas adsorption devices. The critical parameter is pore size and it is... -
Hydration of Laponite powder
In a recent experiment on NIMROD (RB1120193) we have studied the microscopic structure of Laponite suspensions at 2 concentrations, namely Cw=1.5% and Cw=3.0%, at both the... -
Interaction of sugars and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on 7 aqueous solutions of NMA and trehalose and NMA and glucose, aimed at investigating the... -
Understanding Structural Changes in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) on Heating
This experiment will establish the structural changes that occur in Amorphous Solid Water (ASW) prior to the process of pore collapse or crystallisation. We will study the... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Searching for encounter complex in solutions of frustrated Lewis pairs - II
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' preform an encounter complex associated by van der Waals forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts, and... -
Speciation and complex-ion formation in protic ionic liquids
The aim of this proposed study is to explore protic ionic liquids formed from by combining bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imidic acid (H[NTf2]) with imidazole and pyridine at... -
Atomic structure of amorphous alumina Al2O3
Solid alumina Al2O3 has many industrial applications. Recently it was found that porous anodic alumina film formed by anodizing aluminium in an appropriate acidic/alkaline... -
Interaction of a small protein with water and other solutes: The case of Glut...
The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) is present in cells at millimolar concentrations, and the ratio of GSH to glutathione disulfide (GSSG) is critical to cellular redox balance.... -
Determination of the structure of methoxy on eta-alumina
We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a... -
Structural investigations of low-temperature "trapped solutions" of C60 fulle...
We propose a series of neutron scattering measurement to determine the water structure in amorphous H2O/C60 fullerene vapour deposits. We believe that these samples, prepared by... -
Composition dependent structure in mixtures of water and hydrogen bonded mono...
This is part of a project concerning the interplay between water and other H-bonded liquids using a range of complementary experimental techniques, e.g. dielectric spectroscopy,... -
Structural insights into crude oil asphaltenes II: Correlating molecular desc...
Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, block pipeline and foul refineryequipment. Asphaltenes have a high proportion of aromatic... -
Inelastic neutron scattering investigation of the giant phonon anomalies due ...
The electron-phonon interaction is a major factor influencing the competition between collective instabilities in correlated-electron materials, but its role in driving... -
High-Energy dynamics and search for a continuum in CaFe2O4
We propose to investigate the high-energy (above 10 meV) excitations using either the MERLIN or MAPS chopper instruments. CaFe2O4 is interesting for several reasons. First, it... -
The Second Critical Point and Widom line of supercooled confined water
In 1992 P. Poole and coworkers have proposed the existence of two water polymorphs below its homogenous nucleation temperature. These are separated by a coexistence line ending... -
Characterising the amorphicity and porosity of ice aggregates in planet-formi...
With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities... -
CuH: a (nearly) 200 year old problem SANDALS
Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...
