Models of cement have been formulated to further understanding. The dominant being Jenning’s layered colloid model. Therein, idealised silicate layers are interspersed with...

Chalcogenide glasses containing light alkali and Group 11 (Cu, Ag) halides MY (Y = Cl, Br, I) exhibit high ionic conductivity while their heavy alkali counterparts show...

The Mn3Ge compound have recently attracted giant attention due to discovery of large anomalous Hall effect. This effect is believed to originate in the non-collinear...

We request 3 days on NIMROD to study the changes in the structure and mesostructure of the anode of a novel high energy-density Na-ion battery during the first charge/discharge...

We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in...

Ammonia borane (AB) is arguably the most promising hydrogen storage material for use in clean, green fuel applications. Simple heating of AB produces hydrogen that can be used...

In 1992 P. Poole and coworkers have proposed the existence of two water polymorphs below its homogenous nucleation temperature. These are separated by a coexistence line ending...

With the discovery of almost 3000 exo-planets it is clear that planet formation is a by-product of star formation, yet in the micron ? cm size range, where relative velocities...

Protein secondary structure, in particular alpha-helical structure, is essential for a variety of functions in nature. These structures are integral to such biophysical...

Ionic liquids (ILs) - salts that melt near room temperature - have remarkable properties as solvents for a wide variety of molecules and ions. ILs share with water the rare...

This proposal is a continuation of our previous experiment on NIMROD (Rb 1520094), where we studied aqueous solutions of trehalose (33 wt% trehalose) as well as myoglobin in the...

The Sr(4-x)Ca(x)Mn2CoO9 compounds are geometrically frustrated transition metal (TM) oxide, which present a variety of interrelated magnetic behavior. The (Mn,Co) TM form a...

This proposal aims to further investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid...

This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...

Shale or tight oil is trapped in nano-porous rocks and is expected to play a key role in the energy supply in the future. Due to confinement, trapped fluids exhibit changes in...

When MgH2 is processed under relatively mild milling conditions it exhibits a two-step thermal decomposition process where loss of hydrogen is associated with each endothermic...

Spin dynamics in multi-q noncoplanar ordered structures (e.g. skyrmion lattices) is an active topic of research. The cubic perovskite SrFeO3 has a variety of multiple-q magnetic...

Confined liquids are an important subject of research in many areas, such as geology, biology, food and drug preservation, and heterogeneous catalysis. These liquids can have...

This project aims to study the confinement of phenyl acetylene in the pores of mesoporous titania catalysts for the conversion into styrene. Specifically, neutron scattering...
