Intensity anomalies and momentum distributions in liquid and solid H2/D2.
H2 and D2 are simple systems which can be used to bench mark the accuracy of VESUVIO measurements. Previous measurements performed in 2008 indicate the presence of an intensity... -
Violation of y-scaling in D2 ¿ Test of existing theories
The applicants aim to perform the most authoritative measurements of NCS profiles by controlling and precisely quantifying everything to do with the sample. In July 2008 we... -
Electric field induced swelling/collapse of strong polyelectrolyte brushes
Electric field induced changes in the swelling of a strong polyelectrolyte brush will be investigated using neutron reflectivity. A poly(styrene sulphonate), PSS, brush will be... -
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... -
Powder diffraction studies under high deuterium pressure
The aims of the experiment are (1) to obtain structural data for the model hydrogen storage intermetallic LaNi5 under a deuterium pressure of 3000 bar at cryogenic temperatures,... -
Deuterium Site Determination in Quasicrystal Deuteride (Ti45Zr38Ni17)0.42D0.5...
We propose neutron diffraction experiments on quasicrystals (Ti45Zr38Ni17)1-xDx (x = 0 and 0.58). Ti45Zr38Ni17 absorbs and desorbs hydrogen atoms substantially. However the... -
Structural development in Whey protein polymer composite solutions for electr...
This is part of an on-going investigation into nano/micro scale sized polymer fibres at the University of Reading, prepared through the process of electrospinning. Currently we... -
Quantum heating effect in molecular hydrogen
The goal of this proposal for beam time on MARI (direct geometry) is to independently confirm (or refute) our observation using VESUVIO (indirect geometry) of a novel quantum...
