Recovery and characterisation of high-pressure phases in the systems H2O ¿ NH...
The objective of this experiment is to characterise four particular high-pressure polymorphs of various hydrates discovered by us in recent years during work carried out using... -
Cation substitution in synthetic meridianiite (MgSO4.11D2O): phase behaviour ...
MgSO4.11H2O (MS11) is the most highly hydrated phase in the binary MgSO4¿H2O system. Whilst lower hydrates in this system have end-member analogues containing alternative... -

Thin Water Layers
The aim of this proposal is to determine the thickness of a water layer surrounding colloidal particles dispersed in oil with changes in ionic strength. Recent work by our group... -
Understanding precrystallisation of MgSO4 through total neutron scattering.
MgSO4 (and its numerous hydrates) is an important system industrially and has become a model system for fundamental crystallisation studies [4]. By studying an aqueous solution,... -
Water in extreme environment. The case of Mariana Trench
The Mariana Trench is one of the most famous extreme environment on our planet. Salinity is around 35 g salts per one kg of water at temperatures ranging from 274 K to 277 K ,... -
Thermal expansion and phase transition in magnesium sulfate trihydrate
A recent single-crystal study determined the crystal structure of MgSO4.3D2O, and discovered that a first-order phase transition occurs when the crystal is cooled below 245 K....
