Organogelators are small molecules that self-associate into extensive network structures. Our interest lies in a homologous series of such gelators, the...

We request two days on Engin-X to carry out commissioning tests on a pair of new piston-cylinder cells and their associated hydraulic press. Although intended primarily for use...

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6 is an important mineral in metamorphic rocks and occurs in low as well as high metamorphic grade. Previously we have determined the thermoelastic properties...

NiSi is a technologically important material that is also of interest to Earth Scientists because of the possible role of Ni and Si in the Earth¿s core. It crystallises in the...

The structure dependence of BaCe0.8Y0.2O3-d (BCY-20), a leading proton conducting material, will be studied as a function of temperature and, critically, controlled atmosphere...

The physical properties of the post-perovskite phase of MgSiO3 control the dynamics of the lower thermal boundary layer of the Earth¿s mantle, but many of these properties...

The defect thiospinel, GeV4S8 adopts a cubic structure at room temperature (space group F-43m). We have identified a new monoclinic phase of this material at 2K, which may be...

This proposal seeks to investigate the effect of temperature on the structures of thallium and caesium azide. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction data are necessary to...

20 years ago, Anderson proposed that the thermoelastic properties of the dominant (mantle) phase within the Earth, MgSiO3 perovskite, could be described as a simple Debye solid....

Our previous HRPD experiment on the Pd-D2 system resolved the long-standing controversy over the occupation of T interstitial sites by D, showing that T sites are occupied owing...

We have recently determined the structures of methanol-monoammoniate, and Me-hemiammoniate from neutron powder data. These are found to have different degrees of C-H...O...

SrAl2O4 is a stuffed tridymite that has attracted a good deal of interest, since doping with Eu2+ leads to a material with elastic-luminescent response. The structure and phase...

We request two days of beam-time on POLARIS to obtain high resolution measurements of the thermal expansion of dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2]. The experiment forms part of a larger...

The present proposal is to examine the low temperature structural properties of SrSnO3 using the HRPD. This work aims to examine the structural basis for the unusual low...

We propose a high-resolution powder neutron diffraction study of the archetypal donor-acceptor complexes (CD3)3N...I2; (CD3)3N...ICl; C5D5N¿ICl; and C5D5N¿IBr. These are the...

It is generally accepted that austenitic steels (fcc) show no ferromagnetic signature. However, thermomagnetic measurements suggest an unexpected ferromagnetic transition (Tc =...

We propose to study the temperature evolution of the spontaneous strain, crystal and magnetic structure of the charge ordered, mixed valence iron silicate ilvaite. In addition,...

This proposal seeks to conduct total-scattering studies on thallium and caesium azides to investigate the effect of temperature on the atomic motions, particularly of the azide...

We request 3 days of beam-time on HRPD to identify the substitution mechanism of Ti3+ and Ti4+ in synthetic hibonites [CaAl12O19]. The experiment forms part of a larger...

We propose to study the pressure-dependence of the crystal structure of the alkaline earth copper phyllo-decaoxotetrasilicate Ba0.5Sr0.5CuSi4O10 to compliment our earlier...
