Organometallic compounds play an important role in catalysis, and compounds with metal carbonyl groups have been studied at elevated pressure by vibrational spectroscopy, but... -
Unravelling the mechanisms of negative thermal in γ-Mg(11BD4)2
We request 2 days on HRPD to perform a detailed study of the low temperature behaviour of γ-Mg(11BD4)2 in order to measure the change lattice parameter as a function of... -
Adsorption of Alkylphenols onto the Surface of Polyamide-imide from Oil
Polyamide-imides are an important class of engineering polymers whose applications often call for high wear resistance whilst maintaining suitable lubrication. An understanding... -
In-situ and simultaneous SANS and ND to study the precipitation and phase tra...
Nano-steels are a new generation of Advanced High-Strength Steels, which are used in the automotive industry to reduce vehicle weight and thereby improve the fuel economy and/or... -
Pressure Tuning of Sodium Battery Materials: PART II
This is a continuation proposal to the previous study (RB. 1720418) of NaCoO2. Even if the data analysis is still under process, the result could indicate that the transition... -
Alloxan - a high density organic under pressure
Organic molecular crystal structures have densities that are typically in the range 1.2-1.4 gcm-3 although these can be increased, in general, to ca. 2.0 GPa through application... -

Temperature dependence of phonon modes in protonated (H2O) and deuterated (D2...
Recentely we have measured (RB 1620263) pressure dependence of phonon modes in both the protonated (H2O) and deuterated ice (D2O) (Fig. 2) at ambient, 0.3 kbar, 1.0 kbar and 1.6... -
Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering of Green Dioptase to Unravel the Motion of t...
Green dioptase is a naturally occurring mineral, that has a deep green colour, similar to that of an emerald, and with a chemical formula of CuSiO3.H2O. The Cu lies in quasi-1D... -
A Self-consistent Description of the Thermoelastic Properties of Dielectric P...
20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid.... -
Correlation of structural parameters with electrocaloric performance in (Ba,S...
Kay objectives: measurements of Ti-O bond lengths and Ti-O-Ti angles in a series of (Ba,Sr,Ca)TiO3 perovskites and correlate with the observed variation of Tcs of the FE-PE... -
High pressure charge transitions in PbCoO3
PbCoO3 used to be the missing link in the PbMO3 perovskite series. PbCoO3 was recently synthesized by the Azuma group using high-pressure synthesis at 12 GPa. NPD at JPARC... -
