Sequencing eDNA (partial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) from water samples to assess fishing pressures within and outside the Australian EEZ around the Cocos Keeling Islands. When using...

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...

Doped cerias are currently being used as oxide ion conducting electrolyte materials in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Depending on the nature and concentration of the dopant...

This proposal seeks 2 days on POLARIS in order to study hydrothermal chemical syntheses of yttrium aluminium garnet, Y3Al5O12 (YAG) in supercritical water using the...

This proposal is part of our research programme to explore the spin dynamics of strongly-frustrated quantum magnets. A canonical model is the spin-1/2 triangular antiferromagnet...

Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have attracted substantial commercial and scientific interest as they provide a pathway to realizing a renewable energy source that is portable...

The microscopic dynamics of associative polymers that self-assemble into micellar structures play a key role for their macroscopical properties, with important implications for...

We request 3 days’ beam time on POLARIS for in-situ powder diffraction studies of the reactions of lithium amide or lithium imide with manganese(IV) oxide under flowing argon or...

With the biobased economy growing substantially and pressure to reduce reliance on palm and crude oil derived materials, it is vital that the Home and Personal Care industry...

Ammonia is seen as a key part of the transition to a sustainable energy economy, but needs decomposition catalysts to release its stored hydrogen. Lithium nitride-hydride...

We have constructed a novel microwave frequency resonator that can sit within the GEM and POLARIS diffractometers and will allow us to simultaneously collect diffraction and...

We seek to develop new MOFs for sensing and removal of toxic gases (e.g., SO2) and request 4 days on POLARIS to study the structural binding details and dielectric data...

Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and...

LaSrCoFeO6 is a rhombohedral perovskite, and can be reduced to the orthorhombic brownmillerite LaSrCoFeO5 in reducing atmospheres at around 600 deg C. This material is air...

Nickel-based superalloys have excellent high-temperature properties due to the dispersion of stronger precipitates in matrix. The properties are significantly affected by the...

Cubic cadmium(II) cyanide shows the most pronounced isotropic NTE effect known, with behaviour more than twice as extreme as that of better known materials such as ZrW2O8. This...

In typical odontological studies water sorption in the restoration material is determined by weighing freshly mixed cement at regular intervals. In the case of resin-modified...

The interactions between benzene molecules in the solid phase is of fundamental interest. Benzene is often used as a model system for structure prediction methodologies and...

Whilst rechargeable batteries continue to take over the consumer electronics market, they are unsuitable to replace specific battery technologies, such as the thermal battery,...

In situ composite materials based upon refractory metal - silicide eutectics are being considered for high temperature structural applications. These materials derive their high...
