Penetration velocity and deceleration of penetrometer stations N1 to N97 duri...
In-situ geotechnical measurements of surface sediments were carried out along large subaqueous dunes in the Knudedyb tidal inlet channel in the Danish Wadden Sea using a small... -
Nimrod (dynamic penetrometer) measurements of a sandbar at Raglan, New Zealan...
Dynamic penetrometer data obtained with the Nimrod penetrometer (MARUM). Data is presented as (i) penetration depth (including for different layers if present), (ii) measured... -
In-situ geotechnical measurements with the dynamic penetrometer Nimrod on the...
We tested the ability of a small dynamic penetrometer, Nimrod, to infer geotechnical properties of sediment mixtures in the inner shelf. The penetrometer is light and easy to... -
A Total Scattering Study of the Solubilising Mechanism of a Hydrotrope.
We request 5 days on NIMROD to collect total scattering data of aspirin and caffeine at pH7 and pH3 in order to determine the origin of the effect of the hydrotrope caffeine on... -
Silica perturbation of the water structure around cationic micelles during te...
This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles... -
Defects and Medium-Range Disorder in the Metal¿Organic Framework UiO-66
We wish to use NIMROD to study the distribution and nature of defect sites in the high-thermal-stability metal-organic framework UiO-66. For the most part, defect structures in... -
The structure of biomimetic helices in aqueous solutions
Protein secondary structure, in particular alpha-helical structure, is essential for a variety of functions in nature. These structures are integral to such biophysical... -
Micro-, Meso-, Macro- Structure and Dynamics of Biocompatible Dental Glass Io...
Glass Ionomer Cements (GICs) have found numerous applications as bone fillers, replacements and adhesives, particularly in dentistry due to their tooth like appearance and... -
Determination of the hydrogen adsorption sites for Mg and Zn formates
In the framework of the FIRENZE HYDROLAB research project(http://www.iccom.cnr.it/hydrolab/), a number of polymeric metal formates has been synthesized,with interesting... -
Ageing of Laponite-water solutions
We require beam time on NIMROD in order to complete and continue a previous experiment (RB1010046) on Laponite - water suspensions. We have succesfully performed the experiment... -
NIMROD: Continuation of the Structural Investigations of the Surfactant Coati...
This proposal aims to further investigate the short range structure and morphology of FePt NPs, of average diameter ~ 2 nm, and their surrounding surfactant layer (oleic acid... -
Characterisation of structure for the determination of liquid thermodynamic c...
This proposal is a continuation of prior combined NMR, SANS and diffraction measurements to characterise templated silicas, as part of a program to inform the behaviour of... -
Graphite Oxide Intercalation: Tailoring Adsorbate Geometry
The search for new porous materials is increasingly driven by a socio-economic pressure to diversify our energy supply and minimize environmental impact. Carbon-based... -
neutron scattering analysis of automotive enamel glasses
A trial experiment is proposed to investigate the capability of wide Q-range neutron scattering techniques to probe the industrially important question of how low levels of... -
Investigations of atomic and intermediate-range structure in model membranes
This proposals aims to investigate the atomic and intermediate range structure in model membrane environments. By beginning with a disperse system of a phosphocholine lipid in... -
Uptake of Molecular Hydrogen by High-performance Carbon Nanostructures (NIMROD)
High sorption capacities and enhanced interaction strengths are the two most fundamental prerequisites for the deployment of carbon-based materials as hydrogen-storage media. In... -
The structure of nanographenes in solution
In this proposal we will study the structure of metal-ammonia solutions containing single graphene sheets by exploiting H/D isotopic labelling in conjunction with NIMROD¿s... -
Structural development during crystallisation of synthetic polymers
We wish to exploit the unique capability of Nimrod to move forward the long standing issue of the way in which long chain polymers crystallise. There are two key length scales:... -
Interaction of Chiral Amino Acids and Sugars with Hydrated Vermiculite Clay
This proposal aims to provide an atomistic understanding of the adsorption of chiral amino acids and sugars on mineral surfaces using isotopically labelled reagents. Our... -
Study of structural and phase transitions of carbon dioxide confined in the n...
When fluids are confined in pores with dimensions in the nanoscale, their properties differ from the bulk mainly due to the solid-fluid interactions and the finite pore size....
