The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Na-Laponite
In this proposal we aim to study the low temperature uptake and dynamics of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared Na-laponite clay. There are linked... -
Hydrothermal synthesis and calcination of hydrotalcites
Hydrotalcites are anionic clays which have a variety of applications, including use as environmentally friendly catalysts and catalyst precursors. In this experiment we propose... -
Structure of Molecular Hydrogen in High Charge Pillared Clays
In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this... -
Interlayer Dynamics in Graphite Intercalation Compounds
Alkali metals are well-known to form regularly-layered graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) which exhibit a number of novel and practically important structural and... -
QENS studies of nanostructured hydrides
The search for a light, high-capacity hydrogen store continues. Ammonia borane (AB) is a complex hydride with excellent hydrogen capacity, of which half desorbs at moderate... -
Determination of the self absorption of gamma emission induced by nuclear res...
We intend to perform some measurements with three NRCA gamma detectors in different geometric configurations in the INES block house in order to get information about the... -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
Measurement of Residual Stresses in Side-Punched Single Edge Notched Bend Spe...
Residual stresses have been generated, mechanically, in single edge notched bend specimens by side-punching ahead of sharp notches. Given that this is a novel method of... -
The analysis of Medieval European helmets in the Wallace Collection and elsew...
Our long-term aim is a detailed study of the Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London, which contains over two thousand items and is one of the most important... -
Characterization of a relative residual strain map of an Indian sword by neutron
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to achieve a good level of characterization of the artefacts studied by traditional... -
Identification of the peculiar forging methods of three masterpieces among Ja...
Aim of this experiment is the identification and characterization of the peculiar steel production, and forging methods, of three Japanese swords made by the three most... -
Non-invasive study of Indian sword blades
The Wallace Collection, London has one of the most important collections of Indian Arms & Armour outside the subcontinent. Museum objects must be studied non-destructively,... -
The Dynamics of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Clays
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... -
Copy of: Characterization of Indo-Persian blades of the Wallace Collection
This experiment is a continuation of a previous one aiming to analyse the composition and microstructure of Indo-Persian swords and daggers of the Wallace Collection whose... -
Hydrogen dynamics in clay nanotubes
We will study H2 dynamics in the nanotubular clay imogolite whose structure has an external diameter of ~2.5 nm and an inner diameter of <1 nm. The tube length of synthetic... -
Structure of Molecular Hydrogen in Synthetic Laponite Clay Hydrates
In this proposal we aim to study low temperature structure of hydrogen in the interlayer region of partially hydrated pillared clays. There are linked dual motivations for this... -
Hidden patterns in Indian sword blades
One of our long-term aims is a detailed study of Oriental Arms & Armour in the Wallace Collection, London (which has over one thousand items, and is the most important... -
High-resolution Neutron Strain Tomography
Oxford University in collaboration with ISIS neutron facility have developed a new technique for imaging strain in engineering components in three dimensions. We termed this... -
Non invasive characterization though neutron diffraction of ancient Indonesia...
The keris is the distinctive weapon of Malaysia and Indonesia. It is found in a variety of forms but, typically, it is an elongated dagger or short sword of slender proportions...
