Local and long-range solute and solvent ordering in concentrated nanotube gel...
Manipulating nanoparticles in liquids is crucial for their scalable implementation in future technologies. For example, such liquids can be used like paint to create uniform... -
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... -
NIMROD: Structural Investigation of Surfactant Coatings of FePt Nanocrystals
This proposal aims to investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid and... -
Multiscale time-resolving study of solid state crystallisation from the mesom...
We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on isotactic polypropylene which has been quenched... -
Disrupting structural correlations in the Na-Ca-NH3 system
Na or Ca, when dissolved in ammonia, yield metallic liquids. These liquids are fully miscible and yet each possesses a different intermediate-range order depending on the parent... -
Order/disorder and phase transitions in the OLED material Alq3
We propose to measure the pair distribution function of the organic light emitting material Alq3 focussing on the structure of one disordered crystalline phase and its... -
Investigating the Dissolution Mechanism of Cellulose in Ionic Liquids
Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable natural resources on Earth, and it has been estimated that in the order of 400,000 tonnes/year of paper and additional 100,000... -
Formation of hard carbon from carbonized biowaste and in situ neutron study
hard carbon are promising anodes for sodium ion batteries, due to their high capacity and green production from biowaste. However, they require treatment at very high... -
Neutron Scattering and Structural Measurements of CO2 and CD4 Adsorption in M...
Shale is an increasingly viable source of economic quantities of natural gas worldwide. Most of the gas is contained within the fine pores, thus characterizing accessibility and... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -

Unraveling the short-range magnetism in intermetallic core-shell nanoparticle...
Magnetic nanoparticles are currently being investigated comprehensively. Our ball-milled TbCu2 nanoparticles show a core-shell structure in which the core orders... -
ADVANCED POLYMER MATERIALS FOR ENERGY SECURITY (POLYMAT)
This proposal requests time on NIMROD at ISIS to enable the characterisation of polymer nanocomposite interfaces. This information will be used as part of a wider effort for... -
Probing the Kinetics and Liquid Structure of Toluene Hydrogenation by Pt/MCM-41
In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction... -
A study on atomic clustering in Fe-Cr alloys by NIMROD diffractometer
Low temperature embrittlement of stainless steels are due to phase separation and it is known that the kinetics of phase separation depend on the initial structure. However, the... -
Operando Analysis of Lithium/Sulfur Cells with SANS and deuterated solvents
Lithium sulfur (Li/S) batteries have a fivefold higher theoretical gravimetric energy density (2680 Wh/kgsulfur) than state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries. However, the strong... -
Alcohols in Cationic Surfactant Micelle Solutions
This proposal continues our studies of water and small molecule binding around surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of their molecular... -
Magnetic excitations near quantum criticality in CeRh6(Ge1-xSix)4
In Ce-based heavy fermion materials, there is competition between the interactions which lead to a magnetically ordered arrangement of the Ce magnetic moments, and the...
