Structure of multi-component mixed metal molybdates by neutron diffraction
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... -
Structural investigation of nano sized CeO2 and ZnO systems
We will investigate bulk and nano size ceria and zinc oxide prepared by solvothermal methods to determine the defect chemistry associated with these solids. We will use neutron... -
Atomic and pore structure of crystallizing zeolite precursors
We will investigate a series of aluminosilicate systems, zeolite chabazite, ZSM-5, Zeolite Y and Zeoltie A and determine the short and medium range order structures and the... -
Investigation of the core-shell interaction in stabilised PdAu nanoparticle c...
Bimetallic nanoparticles are attractive materials due to their novel electronic, magnetic optical and catalytic properties which are distinctly different from those of their... -
Probing atomic and mesoscale structural correlations in 1-alkyl-3-methylimida...
This proposal aims to extend our understanding of ionic liquid structure by performing measurements that will complement the data previousy collected on SANDALS. We propose to... -
Atomic and pore structure of hetero-atom substituted alluminophosphate materials
We will investigate a series of aluminophosphate systems, in particular related to small pore materials and determine the short and medium range order structures and more... -
Atomic and pore structure of amorphous zeolites
We will investigate a series of amorphised zeolitic solids and determine the short and medium range order structures and more importantly the nature of pore-size when we go from... -
Spin excitations in Na0.44MnO2
We propose to measure the spin fluctuations in Na0.44MnO2 using the MARI chopper spectrometer. Na0.44MnO2 is derived from alpha-NaMnO2 and is a tunnelled structure. Preliminary... -
A study of the induced magnetism in Pd-Ni nanoparticles
Induced magnetic order in nominally non-magnetic materials due to the effect of proximity to magnetically ordered materials is a subject of great interest. There has been quite...
