Proposal to determine the origin of the effects of electric fields on the muo...
In the previous proposal we examined the ALC response of components of the complex dielectric under externally applied electric fields (EEF). We saw a shift in the asymmetry at... -
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... -
Carrier recombination lifetime spectroscopy with photo-MuSR: Measuring bulk a...
Having established the carrier lifetime spectroscopy in intrinsic Si with the photo-MuSR method in our previous beam times, we recently found its sensitivity for both bulk and... -
Structural studies of mixed anionic and cationic surfactants at the charge me...
This proposal is concerned with the structural study of anionic and cationic surfactant mixture on a charged metal oxide surface using neutron reflectivity. Also to evaluate the... -
Porosity Analysis in Suspension Thermal Sprayed YSZ Coatings using Spin-Echo ...
Suspension thermal spraying (STS) techniques enable the use of sub-micron powder particles as feedstock, as opposed to the traditional use of dry powders with micrometric size,... -
Study of carbon supports for catalysts used in the direct synthesis of hydrog...
We have recently shown that acid washing of a carbon support prior to metal (Au, Pd) deposition enhances the activity of the resulting catalysts for the direct synthesis of... -
Probing the bulk morphology of fullerene-free organic solar cell blends using...
The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the relationships between the processing, nanoscale structure and device performance of bulk heterojunction,... -
Probing the role of Mo on the precipitation kinetics of nanoscale titanium ca...
Ever more stringent environmental regulations have driven the automotive industry to strive for light weight solutions in automotive body and chassis applications, without... -
Competing degenrate magnetic states in Ba1-xNaxFe2As2
Magnetic and superconducting ground states have been proposed to coexist in a relatively narrow compositional range in the so-called 122 pnictide superconductors. We recently... -
Determination of binary calibration curves for Neutron Resonance Capture Anal...
Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) is a valid and effective experimental tool for the elemental analysis of objects (e.g. the metallic ones), especially those of... -
In Situ Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Gas-Loaded Porous Framework S...
In the coming year, we plan to build upon the success of last cycle, by carrying out more hydrocarbon studies of this porous material NOTT-300 and one of its iso-structural... -
Magnetic fluctuations in the possible spin-triplet superconductor LiFeAs
LiFeAs is one of the newly discovered FeAs superconductors with still large T_c of 18K. First inelastic neutron scattering experiments on powder and on single-crystalline... -

The structural phase transitions of Ammonia Borane, an invetigation of the dy...
Ammonia Borane (AB), NH3BH3, was first synthesised in the 1950s and has now become the focus of a world wide research program with regards to its potential as a hydrogen store.... -
Quantification of hydrocarbonaceous overlayers relevant to the induction of i...
Recent experiences applying INS to examine a series of nickel-based methane reforming catalysts have enabled a generic experimental methodology to be developed. In collaboration... -
The expoitation of the A, B, C spectral signatures of H-bonds.
Intermediate strength hydrogen bonds, H-bonds, are known to play a role in the reactions of surface bound species, especially on the widely used industrial substrate...
