This application seeks to discover whether the catalyst handling protocols refined for INS measurements of a variety of heterogeneous catalytic systems can be further exploited...

There is an increasing interest in the application of gallium oxide as a catalyst support material, with particular interest in its use in new methanol steam reforming...

The herbicides mesotrione and tembotrione have been observed to have short half-lives in soil. Furthermore, their partition coefficients (Kd and Koc) suggest limited soil...

This proposal continues a new direction in our research on surfactant-templated inorganic materials. These nanostructured materials contain ordered arrays of surfactant micelles...

We have recently demonstrated that we are able to obtain structural information about adsorbed hydrogenous species from a variety of metal catalysts. We emphasise that this is a...

The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small...

Copper (I) hydride, CuH, is unique amongst the binary metal hydrides in that it can be synthesised, at room temperature, in aqueous solution. In recent years CuH generated in...

The vibrational spectrum of C60 has been investigated by many techniques since it became available in significcant quantities. Previous INS spectra were recorded with small...

Recent thereotical determinations on the Wittig reaction point to low energy (terahertz) vibrations in the ~15-50 meV region being responsible for selectivity of this industrial...

This proposal requests 6 days on Tosca to investigate the nature of local structure and proton sites in the proton conducting brownmillerite system Ba2In1.85M0.15O6H2 (M = In,...

The recent discovery of superconductivity in a series of iron pnictide materials has led to the anticipation that they might lead to new insights into the origins of...

The applicants have recently completed a series of INS studies on a model iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. That work established that different sample pre-treatments could...

The aim of this proposal is to measure inelastic neutron spectra using the TOSCA instrument for a series of samples of the widely used secondary explosives RDX and HMX. During a...

INS is an ideal means of probing the complete vibrational density of states of water adsorbed on the surface of metal oxide nanoparticles with minimal interference from the...

Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to study stochastic motions in liquids but it requires an energy resolution well below the meV range. As a consequence, quasielastic...

In low-pressure methanol synthesis from fossil synthesis gas, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3-catalysts are successfully used in industrial synthesis at 250°C and 50-100 bar, but the exact...

The diffusion coefficients of monobranched and dibranched (methyl)hexane and octane in industrially important zeolite ZSM5 will be measured along with their straight chain...

This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure and determine the effect of confinement on short alkyl chain length ionic liquid within a well ordered...

Our general aim is to understand the defect structure of complex oxides in ternary oxide systems, which are known to be effective selective oxidation catalysts. For this purpose...

Previous work by the experimental team has successfully examined methane reforming catalysts using CO2 as the oxidant. Unfortunately, the progression to using steam as the...
