Solar energy is an abundant renewable source to tackle energy and environmental concerns. For example, solar energy can be converted into electricity, can be used to produce...

Materials with incommensurate structures often show exotic properties (such as charge density waves). The development of reliable and efficient refinement techniques for such...

We have prepared a new family of rare-earth carbonates, R4(CO3)6(H2O)2en (R=Dy-Lu). With the exception of R=Er, all materials exhibit a steadily decreasing meff below 70K. The...

Carbon dioxide is a commonly used fluid in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CO2 EOR process can contribute to the minimisation of the impact of greenhouse gas emission by keeping...

We wish to investigate the effect of glass composition on the environment of rare earth ions doped into chalcogenide glasses. To achieve this the series of glasses, yNd2S3 ¿...

Geometrically frustrated spin systems are important owing to the fact that the geometry often suppresses conventional mean field ground states in favor of more unconventional...

Structural studies of water have been made for a wide range of states but little work has been made for ¿stretched water¿, i.e. under negative pressure. This state may be...

Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and...

This proposal is intended to further the measurements required for the full structural investigation of binary alloy FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and the surrounding surfactant...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

The pharmaceutical industry has been described as being 'in a period of crisis' as the number of drug approvals relative to most major pharmaceutical companies Research and...

We propose to study a novel nanostructure consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes continuously filled with a single crystal of Fe3C using total neutron scattering on NIMROD....
