Research Data publication: Neutron Transmission Measurements at nELBE, EPJ We...
These data sets contain the measured neutron transmission data from nat-He, nat-O, nat-Ne, nat-Xe, nat-Pt and 238-U (as depleted uranium) that were measured at the nELBE... -
Complementary and Spatially Resolved Operando Spectroscopic Investigation of ...
Catalytic testing, DRIFTS, XAS and HERFD-XAS data. XAS and HERFD-XAS data can be processed in the Fastosh or Athena/Artemis software. DRIFTS and light-off curves are best... -
Studies of Free Radical Final States on Au nanoparticles by RF-muSR and ALC S...
Small-sized metal nanoparticles (NPs) are of long standing interest to both magnetism and heterogeneous catalysis. Recent µSR studies of bare Au NPs encapsulated in mesoporous... -
Influence of minority-spin surface resonance on tunnelling anisotropic magnet...
We propose to study Fe based tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) structures. TAMR is a newly discovered effect potentially combining advantages of the anisotropic MR... -
Investigating the diffusion of C6 cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons in Pt/MCM-41
Diffusion of a range of cyclic hydrocarbons relevant to the nylon production process will be measured in the potential catalyst Pt/MCM-41 in the context of the benzene... -
Understanding the ground state wavefunction in PrPtAl and YbNiSn
The proposal addreses the compounds PrPtAl and YbNiSn. Both systems are canted ferromagnets with both materials undergoing moment reorientation transitions as a function of... -
Polarised neutron investigations of the spin Seebeck effect
The spin Seebeck effect generates spin currents in various materials when they are subjected to a temperature gradient. These spin currents persist over length scales many... -
Probing the Kinetics and Liquid Structure of Toluene Hydrogenation by Pt/MCM-41
In a proof-of-concept beamtime award (RB1220486) we studied the process of platinum-catalysed benzene hydrogenation in the pores of MCM-41 using standard neutron diffraction... -
Characterisation of on-top hydrogen on fuel cell catalysts.
A key step in a fuel cell is the dissociation of hydrogen gas to provide protons and electrons by a catalyst. For low temperature fuel cells carbon black supported... -
The proton momentum distribution in oriented ice films
We propose to fully characterise the proton quantum dynamics in oriented ice, grown on Pt surface, via DINS experiment and quantum ¿mechanical calculation, using path integral... -
Neutron reflection study of spin coat grapheme oxide films
We have recently been able to form a thin graphene oxide (GO) film with uniform thickness around 30±2Å from aqueous GO suspensions by spin coating (onto small wafers for... -
Spatial, Chemical, and Temporal Resolution of Platinum-Catalysed Benzene Conv...
This proposal aims to study the potential for neutron diffraction to offer spatially-, chemically-, and temporally-resolved information on a dynamic system, in this case the... -
Influence of promoting additives on the formation of palladium hydrides in te...
Steering and optimizing catalyst selectivity at ¿ simultaneously - adequate catalyst activity is a continuing challenge in chemical technology and of high economic impact. In... -
Muonium in rare-earth sesquioxides
We propose to characterize the basic muonium/hydrogen configurations in selected rare-earth sesquioxides with the basic crystallographic structures: neodymium oxide (hexagonal A... -

Approved proposal under the ICRD Scheme Proposal ICRD0003 -
The Anderson-Gruneisen parameter and high P/T crystal structure of post-perov...
Recently, our view of the Earth¿s lower mantle changed dramatically. It had been thought that two major phases were present in all the lower mantle: MgSiO3-perovskite (PV) and... -
Interaction of Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticles with Eukaryotic and Prokary...
Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have strong antimicrobial effects against many organisms, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics. However, the exact... -
Interfacial structures between Nafion and Platinum under controlled electroch...
We wish to propose a neutron reflectivity (NR) experiment for a Nafion/platinum interface under controlled electrochemical potential, because NR is the only technique to study... -
Investigating the diffusion component of the toluene hydrogenation reaction i...
The diffusion of hydrocarbons relevant to the toluene hydrogenation reaction will be measured both as unconfined liquids and confined in the catalyst Pt/MCM-41. Diffusion will... -
SANS study of the structure of surfactant stabilised Pt and Ru nanoparticles
Surfactants have been used to bind and disperse Pt and Ru nanoparticles during their synthesis. In this work, we propose to use SANS to determine the thickness and packing...
