Neutron Compton Scattering of Soft Layered Materials
Although graphite and hexagonal boron nitride lie at the heart of many technological applications, their accurate theoretical description using density-functional-theory-based... -
Proton quantum delocalization in lithium imide studied through neutron Compto...
we propose deep inelastic neutron scattering measurements on VESUVIO to investigate the short time proton dynamics in Li2NH. The latter belongs to the Li-H-N system, which has... -
Helium quantum rattling in clathrate hydrate cages studied through neutron Co...
The proposing team is interested in exploring the low-temperature quantum "rattling" dynamics of helium atom(s) trapped in water-based cages (namely the so-called "clathrate... -
Szilard-Chalmers reaction: towards understanding of breaking of chemical bond...
When a nucleus captures a low energy neutron it emits a gamma ray as it recoils. The recoil energy is often sufficient to break a covalent bond to the atom concerned. The effect... -
Neutron Compton Scattering Study of the Co-Nonsolvency Effect
(RB1010481) Neutron Compton Scattering, experiments were done on samples of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide dissolved in D2O, CH3OD and a mix of both solvents. This is of interest... -
Determination of the low temperature crystal structure of Fe3O4
The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of...
