The phase diagram of the spin-density-wave metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7
Sr3Ru2O7 is an unusual layered oxide metamagnetic metal. It has been know for some time that the application of a large magnetic field (~8 T) perpendicular to the RuO2 planes... -
Is Zeolite Deactivation Through Pore Blocking?
Zeolites are porous framework materials that have active catalytic sites inside narrow channels. Unwanted reactions create coke in the pores which may block access to the active... -
Investigating the Structure of Porous Liquids
Porous liquids are a counter-intuitive new class of porous material consisting of a liquid with permanent, empty holes. They are unique in that they combine the fluidity of... -
Aquatic Methane Adsorption and Desorption on Minerals
In this project we propose to study the adsorption of methane onto a model mineral surface. This type of study is crucial to the understanding of the temperature dependence of... -
Structural study of the higher oxidation states of the nickel positive electrode
Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As... -
Pressure-driven transformation of the Al coordination environment in oxide glass
In situ high-pressure neutron diffraction will be used to investigate the pressure-induced transformation of the Al coordination environment in a prototypical aluminosilicate... -
Diffusion studies using methane as a probe molecule to investigate the methan...
Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons (MTH) is an important industrial reaction. It is thought to work through a 'hydrocarbon pool' mechanism where the hydrocarbons retained within the... -
