The detection of residual stresses in ancient metals can allow researchers to understand method of manufacture, and non-destructive neutron diffraction offers access to museum...

The aim of the present study is to use neutron diffraction enhanced with isotopic substitution and subsequent computer simulations to determine the head group solvation of a...

Hydrogen Storage still remains the technology bottleneck for a more widespread use of hydrogen. Solid complex hydrides such as amides, alanates and borohydrides have been...

The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the electric field dependence of the dynamics of the melting transition of bulk and confined water with an applied electric...

The objective of this proposal is to spectroscopically identify the nature of surface species formed during the addition of tert butyl hydroperoxide onto the surface of the...

We request 4 days on WISH to study the preferred binding sites and locations of adsorbed gas molecules (CO2,NO2 and D2) within a decorated Al(III)-carboxylate porous framework...

Ammonia borane, NH3BH3, has been extensively studied as a potential hydrogen storage material because of its high hydrogen content (19.6wt%) and relatively low decomposition...

There is great interest in destabilised multicomponent hydrogen storage materials as this allows the reduction of the temperature of dehydrogenation while maintaining a...

We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)...

Fe3Sn2 is a rare example of an itinerant frustrated ferromagnet (Tc = 640K), with a non-collinear spin structure. It shows a large anomalous Hall resistivity in a low field of...

Tri-block copolymers offer an excellent model system for the study of crystallization in the bulk as well as close to interfaces. It is known that the structures formed by this...

A consortium of several UK universities and industries has been set up, based at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to investigate ¿Length-scale bridging in...

Organic stabilisers, such as thiols, thioethers, amines and polymers (i.e. polyvinylalcohol) have been used for the stabilisation of metal nanoparticles. The catalytic...

In the last few years functionalised carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers have shown promising results in the area of heterogeneous catalysis due to the ability to tune the...

We request 5 days on VESUVIO to study atomic momentum distributions within the frameworks of a series of SixGe(12-x)O24 zeolites with the SOD framework. Neutron...

This proposal is part of a major EPSRC (EP/GR065705) / Unilever funded programme to develop and control the spontaneous formation of surfactant multilayer structures at...

FeF2 is a conversion reaction material that undergoes a reaction with lithium: FeF2+2Li++2e-<->2LiF+Fe, which results in a high theoretical capacity, 571 mA/g....

Surface stress engineering processes aim to improve the life of components through the generation of favorable compressive residual stress fields by locally plastically...

We propose using WISH and HRPD to examine the structure of the Ba1-xNaxTi2Sb2O phase diagram as a function of temperature. The primary goals are the determination of the...

This proposal seeks to measure the poly-CINS (polycrystalline coherent inelastic neutron scattering) spectrum from magnesium deuteride (MgD2); a powder sample on the MARI...
