We request 5 days on SANDALS to investigate the structural effect of expanded metals in the LiNa-MeNH2 system at three different concentrations. The interplay between...

This experiment is concerned with the response of a high-dielectric constant metal-organic framework (MOF), lead(II) tricyanomethanide, Pb(tcm)2 to applied electric fields....

Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been identified as potential gene vectors. We have studied their association with surfactants, dilauroylphospholiponucleosides (DLPN),...

We propose SANS measurements of 4He in a region of supefluid transition (2.2 K). The main aim of the experiment is to see whether at small-angle scattering there is an...

Understanding the planetary formation process by the coagulation of interstellart dust grains requires to study the ice-phase dependant collisional properties of icy dust...

Porous materials impregnated with metal nanoparticles are extremely useful in catalysis, an industry that had a global turnover in 2010 of over three trillion dollars....

Morphological features of plant waxes vary from species to species, but little is understood about what controls these morphological changes although it is widely believed that...

There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural...

Liquid crystals (LCs) are known to act as good lubricants, however, the reason for this remains unclear. One contributing factor is thought to be the formation of ordered layers...

We request 3 days of beamtime on GEM to attempt to perform neutron diffraction on helium inside vitreous SiO2. Significant amounts of helium can be dissolved into the glass...

This proposal presents to directly measure ¿bridging¿ of anionic surfactants on an anionic surface through multivalent ions from water under well-controlled conditions (pHs and...

This proposal is part of our research efforts aimed at the understanding of the static and dynamic properties of cyclic polymers and their comparison to linear chains. Previous...

In our recent experiment RB1120146 we have obtained new exciting results on neutron scattering on liquid He surface. At 1.5 and 2.3K there was no difference in reflectivity...

We request 2 days on SANDALS to characterise the temperature dependent properties of amorphous icy particles as they will be used in a more detailed study on NIMROD in Feburary...

We propose measurements of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) fraction n0 of solid helium confined in porous media. A superfluid fraction in solid helium in Vycor, in aerogel...

NaAlH4 has been a model system for metal hydride hydrogen storage materials since the reaction was identified to be reversible. The decomposition pathway has been described by a...

Silk materials have been the focus of renewed attention because they exhibit extraordinary mechanical strength and toughness.Two main factors are critical for understanding...

The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels...

We propose to measure the neutron diffraction pattern of a single crystal sample of SrEr2O4, using the WISH diffractometer. As the magnetic Er ions in this compound are linked...

TiCl4 forms a molecular structure containing isolated tetrahedral molecules on cooling to 248 K. The freezing pressure of TiCl4 is 0.05 GPa (500 atm). Single crystal growth...
