The proposed work continues our investigations of the structure, aggregation, self-assembly and ion pairing of ionic liquids in the neat state, at interfaces, and in solutions....

We will exploit the unique capability of Nimrod in the study of the long standing issue of polymer crystallisation. We focus on polycaprolactone containing small quantities of...

We ask for 4 days on NIMROD to study the atomic- and intermediate-range order of ammonia-borane (AB) intercalated into mesoporous MCM-41. Ammonia borane is one of the leading...

Graphene is a very promising material and appears particularly suitable in order to develop efficient hydrogen storage systems, especially if it is ¿decorated¿ with proper metal...

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...

The near- and intermediate-range order within peptide and peptide/DNA hydrogels will be probed across the q range available on NIMROD. Samples will be prepared in H2O/D2O...

This proposal continues our studies of water and small molecule binding around surfactant micelles using NIMROD, to obtain previously inaccessible details of their molecular...

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...

This proposal is intended to further the measurements required for the full structural investigation of binary alloy FePt nanoparticles (NPs) and the surrounding surfactant...

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...

Titanium silicates are important for a number of applications such as ultra low expansion glasses, anti-reflective thin film coatings and catalytic materials. Titanium silicates...

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003

We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from...

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...

Production of hydrogen from water via visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting is a future technology that may offer important routes to clean fuels. Graphitic carbon...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of a short and long alkyl chain length ionic liquid on the nanoscale...

We intend to explore the intermediate q-range (0.1 to 50\AA-1) in nanogranular Fe35Ag65 and Fe15Ag85 thin films. These systems have been proven to have a crossover between a...

The properties of fluids confined in nanopores differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size. Such phenomena are of fundamental...

Our objective is to determine new structural information about the structure of amorphous silicate gels formed early in the synthesis of crystalline, microporous zeolites. This...
