Over the last 4-5 years the research team have been developing INS methodology that can be applied to investigate Fe Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts. The first stage of that... -
Can we use the H-H stretch of adsorbed dihydrogen to characterise materials?
The use of the J 0-to-1 rotational transition of dihydrogen has been extensively used to characterise the state if hydrogen in and on materials. The disadvantage of studying the... -
Observation of intermediates on a transfer hydrogenation catalyst
The design and development of novel catalysts for chemical synthesis is incredibly important from both academic and industrial perspectives. Approximately 90 % of all commercial... -
Neutron and muSR study of CePtSi: Non-Fermi liquid behaviour due to avoided m...
Previous studies have pointed to a heavy-electron state in CePtSi with a strongly enhanced electronic specific heat. We have explored the heat capacity, susceptibility and... -
