In a recent series of successful experiments at PSI and ISIS we were able to demonstrate the possibility of measuring the rate of transfer of a small molecule (allyl alcohol)...

The quaternary boronitride superconductor La3Ni2B2N3-d (Tc~12-14 K) has a layered structure where LaN-LaN-LaN triple layer blocks alternate with NiB layers. These NiB sheets are...

Molecular magnets continue to be an important field of magnetic materials research. Such molecular magnets are chemically synthesized at temperatures lower than conventional...

The present work aims at studying a series of potentially chemopreventive chromones by Inelastic Neutron Scattering spectroscopy, in view of achieving a complete understanding...

The hydrogen bonding interactions between species in binary liquid systems can have a significant effect on the properties, especially in relation to the pure materials. Binary...

This proposal aims to provide essential surfactant micellisation structural information of significant interest in its own right but also as key information for our on-going...

Mn have been found to be an interesting ion to be used as dopant in Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) crystals in order to enhance their photorefractive properties. These materials are...

Antioxidants are receiving increased attention for their potential effects in the prevention of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease as...

Ceramics manufacturing is one of the older and intensive human activities in all civilizations, from prehistoric to modern ones. In addition, potteries are approximately...

This experiment has important applications in the power generation industry, and is a continuation of two experiments completed at the ILL where we have characterised the...

NaxC60 and LixC60 are wide theoretically studied systems for hydrogen storage. We recently investigated the hydrogen absorption/desorption of Na10C60 and we found that up to 3.5...

Recently [RB 900007], we have demonstrated that it is possible to determine the detailed site-by-site behaviour of hydrogen during in-situ absorption and desorption in metal...

Polysaccharide hydrogels are becoming increasingly important for biomedical applications. One of the most exploited saccharide-based biopolymer is hyaluronic acid (HYA), a...

The aim of this experiment is to explore the segmental mode of natural rubber NR by means of quasielastic neutron scattering, QENS, and observe the influence of natural...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties.The protic ionic liquids (PILs) are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

We have recently investigated a hybridization gap in Kondo systems using HET and several papers along with a review have been published. Our study shows a universal scaling...

Residual stresses can have substantial and detrimental influences on the integrity of power plant infrastructure. In this work, we aim to characterise the development and...

The development of high energy density and high efficiency hydrogen storage materials is widely considered to be one of the most challenging barriers to the adoption of fuel...

Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been identified as potential gene vectors. We have studied their association with surfactants, dilauroylphospholiponucleosides (DLPN),...
