Our aim is to determine whether the fast dynamics, of either the backbone or the phenyl ring of polystyrene, are altered by the presence of carbon nanotubes, and, if so, whether...

This proposal aims use a novel approach whereby deuterated amyloid peptide fibrils are givenhydrogenated growing ends, and analysed using SANS. The data will enable us to...

We want to study the microscopic mechanisms of solvent dynamics such as water and glycerol in ahydrophilic polymer. Dielectric measurements suggest that below the glass...

In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual...

The present experiment aims to elucidate the energetics and geometry of translational diffusive motions exhibited by molecular hydrogen bound to carbon nanohorns. Previous...

This proposal aims to investigate and compare the dynamics of CO2 when confined in a nanoporous Vycor (SiO2) matrix. The field of fluids in confined geometries is currently of...

We propose to measure vibrational spectra from poly-acrylonitrile confined in nanoporous silica matrixes. Polymers confined in silica have recently been the subject of great...

We propose a continuation of longitudinal muon spin depolarization measurements on mid-range SiGe alloys where a direct observation of T-site ionization is not possible because...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on cubic hydrogen...

Ethylene glycol is an industrially important alcohol used as anti-freeze. The presence of intra and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in its liquid and solid state form makes the...

This proposal will use Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) spectroscopy at TOSCA to establish the vibrational frequencies in nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)...

The study of the interaction mechanisms between water and layered silicates is central to the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these materials, and it is an...

We request 7 days on VESUVIO to study the molecular crystals 7Li(NH3)4X (X=I, Br, Cl , F) and parent halides, 7LiX (data for 7LiF and 7LiCl already exists). This proposal is...

beta-manganese is the only room-temperature-stable crystal structrure of elemental manganese, which remains paramagnetic at all temperatures. This is in stark contrast to both...

This proposal will enable us to study the dynamics of an important water soluble pesticide molecule, paraquat, in solution and in the interlayer region of swelling...

We have recently performed a DINS experiment on water at 268 K, at pressures ranging from 25.6 MPa to 400 MPa. These data show that the mean kinetic energy of protons exhibits...

The organic-inorganic hybrid systems consist of organic and inorganic components forming a 2 D layered structure. The distance between adjacent magnetic layers is quite far,...

In this experiment we will use the F-mu+-F state as a window into the dynamics of perfluoroalkanes and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) at the molecular level. We will investigate...

High-resolution quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) will be used to study the dynamics in pure RTILs [Bmim][PF6] and [Bmim][TfO] and their solutions in acetonitrile-d3 (AN)....

Nonionic surfactants usually do not show affinity to proteins and they work via competitive surface and interfacial processes in a binary mixture with protein. However, we show...
